CAMPROS Tent 6/8 Person Camping Tents, Waterproof Windproof Family Dome Tent with Top Rainfly, Large Mesh Windows, Double Layer, Easy Set Up, Portable with Carry Bag, for All Seasons

I've been living in this tent full-time for a 2-3 months in the desert. While there are better ones I prefer for size and luxury, this thing is a surprisingly good tent for the money. As someone who has lived in a few different tents while doing outdoor work, here are my thoughts:Assembly:Ridiculously easy to assemble. Almost too easy. It feels overly simplistic at first, but fortunately my worries were put to rest over time.Packed Size:This is where it shines. I've lived in larger, more comfortable tents that took up 4 times as much space as this one when packed up. The tent case is effectively a small duffle bag, an almost negligible concern regarding volume it takes up in a car or closet.Waterproofing:It's taken a few pretty solid storms without any leaks. I trust it in thunderstorms no problem.Windproofing:This is where the desert truly tests it! Sustained 30mph winds are not uncommon. I am very impressed with how well it holds up, although it does keep me on edge at times.**With proper assembly and ALL rainfly reinforcement lines tightened down tight. Without all of these variables being perfect, it will not hold up (as with all tents of this shape/design)**Size:I decided to opt for a 6-person instead of an 8-person this time, and regret it. It feels a lot smaller than the floor dimensions suggest. For sustained use, consider a larger size.Durability:It sits in the sun all day, gets pounded by dirt, and I haven't even managed to put a hole in the floor yet. I'm admittedly pleasantly surprisedDownsides:Simplicity. This tent is aggressively simple. You are getting no added luxury (but you're not paying for it either)Lack of windows. This is arguably the biggest drawback. You have the door which doubles as a window, and that's it. No options for additional airflowDoor cover. While the tent overall is solid, the piece that hangs out horizontally over the door is not. This is a minor inconvenience more than anything, but with how flimsy it is it feels unnecessary.Stakes. The included tent stakes are pretty poor. That being said, that's standard for a lot of tents, and to be expected.Rainfly connection. Every now and then the velcro connection points on the rainfly come undone. Not a big issue, just be aware of it if using for more than a few days.Light penetration. This is not a blockout tent. Despite the dark color, the sun will pound you in the morning. Again, not a problem that is limited to just this tent, but something to be aware of.**A couple items of note, on general tent use**With all tents, I spray the exterior seams, rainfly, and various surfaces with waterproofing material. Similarly, I tarp the bottom and use aftermarket tent stakes for the type of soil (corkscrews for loose sand, higher end straight stakes for packed dirt) as opposed to the included stakes. This review (and how I consider it fully waterpoof and highly windproof) is written with both of these assumptions.Overall deal for the money? Stellar! One of the best deals out there. Would I buy it again? Probably not, but I'd still recommend it in a heartbeat to anybody for weekend use, or long-term use for a smaller person.

4 stars because I'd like to have the roof on with side windows like my other tents. Otherwise it's trapping heat with the roof on then you must have the door open. No ventilation. Only bought it cause of the price and good reviews. I like how it is easily to assemble in less than 5 minutes and how nice everything fits in the bag. 3 adults was perfect. Any more heads in there will be crowded. Maybe a 4th is OK but that will be at its max considering your belongings too.

We upgraded to this tent because we wanted something we can stand up and change in instead of having to walk to the bathroom every time. This tent feels like luxury compared to a smaller 4 person tent! Tons of room inside and plenty of head space while standing (I’m 5’7). We did have some issues the first night because it was super windy and the tarp on top was super noisy but that was our own fault for not tying it off. After we did this the issue was done. Was able to fold it up and fit it back into the bag when dissembling which is a huge plus because it seems tent companies these days put it in a bag that is always too small! I really hope this tent holds up for many more trips!

It works be so much better if the zipper opens up and you can open the door all the way open. It doesn't allow you to open all the way across. Just both sides but the bottom doesn't unzip like it shows in the picture.

I love this tent! I stayed dry in a rainstorm at Blue Ridge Rock Fest 2023. The tent blew around some but it stayed up. I bought this tent because it said I could stand up in it, fit a queen size air mattress, and stay dry. It met all of these expectations. Unfortunately it didn’t meet my other one which was to be able to put up with only one person. It required help to assemble but other than that no issues. Love this tent.
