Village Instant Tent, 4 Person 8 Person Camping Tent with Full Rainfly, Waterproof Large Cabin Tents for Car Camping

Updates: I emailed Naturehike about my issues below to find they had also reached out to me through Amazon the same day in response to my original review. They were receptive of my feedback and very easy to work with me on getting a replacement rainfly. It arrived at my home in approx two weeks, much quicker than I expected shipping from China. I was able to set the tent up in my yard for about 8 days with significant rainfall several of those, and I am very happy to say that the new rainfly performed admirably, not a single drop of water in the tent any of the times I checked it during and after showers. Hopefully my issue was a rare occurrence, but I would still suggest testing the waterproof capabilities thoroughly before taking it out remotely. I also very much appreciate Naturehike's customer service handling things so well and taking care of the issue for me; they were much more responsive and helpful than some US camping gear companies I've had to contact for product issues in the past. With that said, I would very much recommend this tent, and I will likely purchase the larger family model in the future. Original Review: I really like the form, features, and size of this tent, but for smaller tent priced at $300+, I expected better. It did fine in dry weather but failed in rain showers. At this price point, rain should not be an issue unless you're in monsoon-like rain, especially with the listing promoting the tent being waterproof as a feature. I bought this tent primarily for my solo tent as a leader on boy scout campouts so I had room to stand and move without using my large family tents or one I'd have to crawl in and out of. I was able to set it up in my back yard a couple of weekends after it arrived mid-May. Set up is easy and quick, and there's lots of room inside for a 4-person tent, could very comfortably fit 3 people on travel camp mats or a couple with a queen air mattress. I can fit my oversized cot, gear tote, and my chair inside and still have room to change and get in/out easily. The poles seem pretty durable, had decent wind one day but not speeds the tent claims to be rated for. The blackout fabric the fly's made of did a decent job keeping early morning sun out but wasn't as effective at keeping it cooler like I've experienced with other dark room tents. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test the tent's rain resistance during those earlier setups, was forecast both times but blew over my area. I took the tent out for its first real use recently on a week long scout campout from July 6-July 11th. Things were great until we got rain the last couple days. The tent kept dry during light daytime sprinkle, but twice overnight we had significant showers, less than my other tents had held up to out of the box, and both nights the rain fly did not prevent water from leaking in. The inner mesh on the roof was soaked due to the fly's failure and dripping into the tent in a few spots. Thankfully I had my tote and was able to pack things back in quickly to prevent them getting wet or ruining my lamp, solar panel charger, or other electronics.

This is a great tent. I have been putting this tent to use this year and I have had zero issues. I do not have any issues with the top bar getting it to click into place. Make sure you extend the top bar first or you will have issues because it’s harder to reach. This tent is super easy and fast to put up/take down. The room darkening is great on the tent because it blocks the heat of the sun and allows you to sleep a little longer if you want. The fly is very durable and is for sure water proof. You will have condensation buildup on the inside of the fly if using a heater but that is to be expected and it will not drip on you. I have had zero issues with the zipper. The tent is a perfect size for my wife and I with our two dogs. This is my go to tent when traveling because I know it’s not gonna let me down and it fits in any campsite.

Only used it once but it held up to the weather. Wish I’d got the bigger one for more room. But satisfied for a small hunting group.

This is surprising high quality. It is a little bit pricey, but I've had my eye on it for a while now. I ordered it from overseas right before the Tarif's hit and they never shipped it. Bought another one for 1/2 the price but again overseas and they never shipped and refunded my money like the first attempt. When I saw it here on amazon I had to get it. I am really pleased with the tent. It is extremely high quality. The setup is as expected with an instant tent. You unfold and an it is up. Super easy setup. I was pleased to see that all the legs locked into place with no effort at all. I have a few instant tents that you have to wrestle to get the last leg to lock into place. No issues with this tent. All the legs extended and locked without any effort on my part. The rain fly is seriously heavy-duty fabric. I think it might make the inside a little dark, but I've only set it up to be sure I had all the pieces and it wasn't damaged in shipping. The rain fly went extremely easy as well. It is heavy enough it stays in place while you shift and pull it over the tent. Was the easiest I have ever been able to get a rain fly on a tent by myself. I'm a 64 year old female and this thing is a breeze. The zippers to attach the screen room are heavy duty - nice quality zippers. Inside zippers are not the same heavy-duty zippers but I am sure they are adequate. I love that the rain fly has windows to let in the light. If it is not pouring down rain - you can open them and let the light in. As this was just a trial set up - I didn't open them all. Looking forward to taking this for a trip in the rain to see if it is as waterproof as others say. Lots of room inside for a queen bed and a table and chairs. Take down was just as easy as setup. It folded back just as small as when it came out of the bag. Because the rainfly is so large - it is a bit of a challenge to get it all back in the bag. I started over and put the rain fly on the bottom first and then the tent on top to push the air out of the tarp. That worked and the tent, rainfly, and screen room are all back in the bag. Again I am super pleased with this purchase. This is a high quality tent that I expect to last for years. I'll update if I get some rain. Update bonus feature. The rain fly is so thick there are no shadows at night. !! Serious nobody can see you moving around if the rain fly is on - blocks all the light so no silhouettes.

Absolutely love this tent. Great size, very sturdy, and so far, with temps dipping into the 20’sF, the added weight in the tarp-over keeps things 15 degrees warmer inside. Ample ventilation when needed, and smart touches throughout. Zippers are well made, stitching reinforced where expected, and the string of lights is a nice touch. So far, withstood heavy rain and winds. Properly staked and grounded with zero issue. Looking forward to a lasting purchase with this investment. Pops open and assembles in literally minutes. This one replaced a six person tent that was past its prime days - and it’s incredible to see how many improvements have built into a more modern tent.

Absolutely awesome tent. Single handed this can be set up in 15 -20 minutes. 5 foot 10 and above you will find you hit your head a lot but depends on how your set up. Bought extra poles to open up both sides which in summer gives an amazing experience to have your kitchen outdoor under canopy. Coped well in August and September when the netted interior and airflow was needed. Just had a last camp of the year last week early October dropping 4 degrees on a night and I was still warm and very dry even though it rained most of the week. The final day had enough of a breeze to blow the moisture out. Very spacious inside for 2 or 2 plus kids with some moving around beds etc for day time use. Buy a groundsheet, either the nature hike or a standard 4x3m will work. The base folds into the middle when folding away so you do not want mud or moisture caught in this when packing away.

Ottima tenda, abbastanza facile da montare, fatta con materiali di qualità

La calidad del tejido es buena pero la estructura metálica era mucho más grande de lo que daba el habitáculo por lo que no podíamos engancharlo son riesgo de romper las costuras.. Lamentablemente he tenido que devolverla y comprar una de decathlon que esas si que no fallan

This tent sets up easily. Can be a little difficult to put the rain fly on but everything fits together very well. The only drawback would be the storage bag is way too small to be able to fit everything back in once it's unpacked from the factory. Do yourself a favor and buy an extra storage bag to put the rain fly in. It's not worth the struggle to pack everything this back in the original bag

本当にワンタッチで初心者でも簡単にセットできました。 これから楽しみです。
