Very large and practical!
Amazing tent, we've been camping with this probably a total of 2 weeks throughout the year in every climate. It's large enough to put a king sized air mattress at the end and still have over half the tent for everything else. Another plus is plenty of headspace for a 6' person, storage pockets for all the corners, and a perfect spot to hang a lamp overhead. The porch area was a big plus for us as well. I liked that it doesnt have a floor that would pool up water in the rain and it's big enough to cover our two bikes and still have space for a camp chair and cooler. The only downside to this tent is that it would be very difficult to set up if you dont have two people as the steel bars connect horizontally and would fall over and disconnect if you dont have another person helping to hold up the tent. Otherwise, it's not bad, takes about 15 minutes with practice, and could easily accommodate an entire family!

I love it!
This tent is great! I absolutely love it so far. It says this tent takes 2 people to set up, but I was able to set it up by myself, having never set up a tent before in my life. The instructions that come with the tent are not great, so I went on YouTube and found the video for how to set it up on the Portal Tent's page. I bought this tent for my camping trips with my dog and I, and the size is great, although I'm not sure how it could comfortably sleep 6 people...maybe if they're packed in like sardines! But I have a queen sized air mattress, and it still leaves some room for storing your things. So the size is perfect for my dog and I. I love the screened in porch area as well, it really does help keep the flying bugs out. That being said, the porch does not have a bottom, so make sure to put a tarp down to help keep the critters on the ground away. I love the option for a view of the stars at night if you leave the rainfly off. The rainfly is super simple to take on and off. It did rain a bit on my last trip, and the tent stayed nice and dry. I do wish there was at least one window on the sides (there's only 2 windows...one in the back, and one on the door), but the ventilation was just fine, as I slept with both windows open. Also, I would recommend buying some better stakes, as the ones that come with it are not the best. I bought the heavy duty nail stakes and they stayed in the entire time. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend this tent if you are looking for something that is good quality and is a relatively easy set up!

Perfect for camping and withstood high winds
Loved this tent for our camping trip! This had high reviews and was on sale when I purchased it. We bought the 8 person tent and it fit a queen and twin mattress with lots of room for our bags! It could probably even fit another queen if you’re looking to add more people with space left. The extension portion is great to cover food or just have as a space to lay out. There’s an entrance on the side of the tent as well as from the patio side. We had pretty strong winds during our 2 day trip and the tent was strong enough to stay up! The pegs that are given are a little thin causing some sides of the tent to rise up which is why I only have 4 stars. But I’m sure if we didn’t have much wind, it’d probably stay down better. Maybe purchasing your own pegs that are a little more durable will help this problem. Easiest set up as well! Tip: Match the color on the poles to the color of the fabric. It only took us about 10 minutes to set up and break down + very compact and light. We got a lot of airflow through the tent and the rain canopy on top was a great addition. If you’re looking for an easy set up and sturdy tent, this is it!!

Great tent! No issues or regrets at all!
This is our first tent and it was great! Our campsite was just a little too small for the tent, so we couldn’t fully extend it out as much as we wanted but it still did the job. My review pics aren’t the best, sorry. It rained and was a little windy our first night but everything held up great. Everything stayed in place and thankfully nothing got wet. A queen air mattress fit perfectly inside and there was plenty of room for just the two of us. I love the front part of the tent and how you can sit outside but still be covered and how it separates the outside from the sleeping area. Great place to keep dirty shoes and other stuff without getting your sleeping area all dirty. I would recommend getting an outdoor rug to lay down for the front area of the tent because it does not have any type of “flooring” or whatever you wanna call it. Overall, it was easy to put together, kept us dry in the rain, was sturdy during the wind, and roomy. Very happy with our tent and can’t wait to take it out again this weekend!

From an avid camper, this tent is the best!!
I’m obsessed with this tent! My boyfriend and I are avid campers, and we do a lot of travel camping where we are packing up and setting up our campsite quite a bit. We wanted a bigger tent that was still small enough to pack easy, a tent that is better in rain and wind, and a tent that wasn’t a pain to set up- this was the winner!! This was very easy to set up and take down, but I will say if you only have one person I think it would be a little bit harder to put up, but with two people it was easy! We haven’t had down pouring rain since we’ve had this tent, but we have use it in the rain and everything was completely dry and it held up very well and I was never worried about it. It’s done well with decent wind gusts and so far it seems to be pretty sturdy! It’s nice and spacious, we typically air up an air mattress, but if you didn’t use an air mattress, you could very easily fit six people if not more depending on how big they are in this tent. Having the little outdoor component is amazing! It really helps us keep the inside of the tent nice and clean and it’s also nice for shade, keeping the bugs away and just having another little space that’s not zipped up in the tent! Air ventilation is good, if you have the window open, you can get some good airflow, but on the other hand if it’s really cold, it feels like it keeps body heat in the tent pretty well. It was also very easy to fold up and get back in the bag, we’ve had a lot of struggle with folding tents up and making them fit back in their original bag… But this one was not a problem at all! The zippers are nice and smooth so far as well which is great because anyone who camps knows a messed up zipper is so frustrating. We almost got the 8 person tent but we were afraid it would be too big, but I think it would have been great! For the space this tent gives, it doesn’t take as much ground space as I was expecting! All in all I give this tent a 10/10 and we are excited to use this tent more often!

Fantastic budget tent!
The TLDR of my review is: This is a fantastic tent! It’s a great deal for a tent that has a lot of positive features. For the longer version of the review: I just started camping this year. I wanted to buy a tent that 1) was tall enough for me to stand up inside (I’m 5’5”), 2) had a screened porch or vestibule for additional gear storage, and 3) was big enough to fit two people with cots very comfortably. Right off the bat while researching, I found my stipulations eliminated most dome tents. I wasn’t willing to spend $400+ on a tent when I originally wasn’t sure if I would love camping or only go 1-2x per year, so budget came into play as well. I also live and camp in Colorado, so durability against high winds, variable temps, and sudden rainstorms was a must. I bought this tent and have now used it for 5 camping trips this summer. I can safely say that it’s a fantastic budget tent, with some caveats. 1) Durability with weather: 10/10* It has rained heavily, ranging from 20-minute downpours to 3 straight days of rain, in 4 of 5 of my trips. CO storms also have heavy wind gusts, and this has stood up to 40mph gusts with no breakage. I also find the rain fly, while not a full one, covers all the windows and doors and prevents leakage. Now, the * is because I use a tarp for a footprint, add a tarp inside to protect the floor, and have weather proofed the outside with weatherproof spray and seam sealers. I feel like this is a must for all tents though. But I have had zero rain enter the tent, even on the 3-day rain fest session I experienced. (I did cover the tent with another tarp overtop during this trip though, seeing the forecast. But still, no leaks otherwise, either.) You will want to put a tarp in the screened porch area and potential cover the outside of the screened porch with a tarp if heavy rain is expected though, because that part does get wet. 2) Ease of setup and take down: with two people, 8/10. With one person: 0/10 If you’re short like me, this will be a no-go for setup and take down. It’s just too tall and too unwieldy to put up with one person IMO. With two people, even two shorter women (like my friend, who is 5’2”, and me), it is totally doable. There are a lot of guylines - good for weather durability and bad for ease of setup - but I got an impact driver and screw-in tent pegs and that has made the process much faster. It takes my friend and me about 25 minutes to set up and 20 minutes to break down. 3) Extra features: 10/10 I love that this tent has fully screened in doors and windows so there can be plenty of ventilation without letting bugs in. The screens have held up very well (much better than the other higher-name 4p tent I bought that had rips in the seem after one use). My friend and I use full cots and a mini table and still have plenty of space inside. I have the 8-person tent and I could fit 4 people very easily - more if we pack in. The screened porch has been excellent for shoe removal, gear storage, and even cooking space when it was raining nonstop. After 5 trips, I have no unraveled seams. The zippers all work well. There are a couple of gear storage holders too, some built in. And I haven’t gotten soaked during what seems to be a ton of rain. It is VERY heavy, so it’s definitely meant for car camping, not backpacking). It’s super functional and easy to use. A con: it IS big (about 20 ft long once full up). We have had one site that was too small for our site tent pad. For the rest, we made it work. I would absolutely recommend this tent to others, especially if they’re looking for a more budget tent.

Tent is under priced for the value and quality.
I do wildland fire fighting. So i live in the tent for months at a time. Having a tent thats big enough to stretch out in and stand up is awesome. I got the 8 person style that includes the bug net on the front. Does very well prevent pugs getting in that area making a little patio area. Great ventilation with the mesh roof. I add additional waterproofing spray to the fabric and a silicon like glue to the seams inside. Never saw a drop of rain in the tent. During my last fire we had wind with up to 50mph sustain gust. With the supplies tiedowns and stake the tent held up great better then I suspected. It did fail in the long run with the thick support poles bending some and parts that connect the tent to the support poles breaking at the stitching. Still stood up far better then other tents that size. Zippers also were great quality, side door would get stuck every sonoften due to design but still good quality. Over all for the price well worth it and really added to the recover process after long nights. I had a full size air mattress with a camping chair and table set up with plenty of room to spare making it even more comfortable. Also if done correctly can be put up by a single person. Customer support direct with the company was also awesome to work with. Rating was gonna be 5stars regardless if they were able to help me.out or not

Huge, Comfortable, and Easy to Set Up – Perfect Family Tent!
We just took this PORTAL family tent on our first camping trip, and it did not disappoint! There’s so much space—we fit 2 full-size airbeds plus all our gear and still had room to walk around. The 76” center height is a game-changer; no more crouching! The screen room is amazing—bug-free and perfect for hanging out when it’s raining or just relaxing in the shade. Ventilation is great too, with mesh windows and ceiling letting in fresh air and even a view of the stars at night. Setup was super easy with color-coded poles and clear instructions—we had it up in under 5 minutes. The tent feels sturdy, the rainfly kept us dry during a light shower, and the storage pockets and e-port are really handy. Overall, this tent made our trip so comfortable and enjoyable. If you’re camping with family, this tent is worth every penny!
