Just received this tent. I got the bundle with the 4 person and 2 person tent. I was able to set this tent up alone so easy. Can’t wait to use it on my first camping trip!!! Easy to set up and easy to take down
Nancy E.
Took it to the Drive Inn movies to keep the damp weather off, and it does just what it is supposed to do and works just like promised. I and my little one's love it
Sarah Tiger Lily
I love this tent! It was so easy to put up and take down.
KC
This was easy to install and take down. I also love that it folds up easily and has a bag for storage and easy to carry around.The ventilation is great and the netting keeps the bugs out! Very satisfied with this product.
Steve
Great tent overall. Buy another 10 stakes and a roll of paracord for gusty mountain top use. It's a bit flappy inside at the top under the fly during windy/gusty nights.
Amin
Wow just what I needed, vey nice and easy to assemble in 3 seconds and also very spacious
Monica Benitez
East to assemble and light weight, not sure on the water resistant yet….when it happens I’ll be back to write about it. All in all a good buy!!
Ashley Lehman
Great small tent, didn't realize how short/small it was until we opened it when we went camping. We barley fit our air matress in there. That's all that would fit.
Zepol
Def easy to put up and take down. Less than 5 mins. 4 person….well if there are four people laying down straight with only sleeping bag yes then four people. But for an air mattress for two people…you’re gonna have wall to wall mattress. We like the two door element and door windows on both for good air flow. We def enjoyed the tent.

I used this tent over 4th of July weekend and it worked great! Takes 5 mins to set up and 5 mins to take down. I left the water resistant rating blank because there was no rain only 97-100 degree weather. The tent held up in light wind and did well on blocking the sun. It was very convenient and quick to use. I used an inflatable queen size air mattress with this tent and still had room for backpacks on the side. I was not able to stand up in the tent but was aware of this at time of purchase. Overall I’m happy with this purchase.
Jessica
The tent is VERY easy to set up. I had just retired a 20 year old pop up tent that I hated to part ways with. This tent can not withstand steady rain. The flaw is that the rain travels through the window screen hooks and drips inside of the tent. We camped for 7 days at 5 different locations and had lots of rain and it dripped on us. I suggest a larger rain fly. This tent is great for two people with no rain. I may need to buy another tent for unpredictable weather situations.
RII
Very easy to setup/pop up. The connecting rods straighten out nicely, and does most of the work itself. Will update once I set it up outdoors and survive a few storms.
Lori and Christopher Richard
I bought this tent to camp out with my 8 year old grandson. He absolutely loves it. I appreciate the vents and windows which has mesh material that keeps bugs out but allows the breeze in. My only issue was initially getting it set up. There were no instructions with the tent on how to set it up but there was written instructions with pictures on how to take it down. I went back to sellers page and found a video to watch on setting up the tent. After watching the video it was smooth sailing. This is a well made tent at a reasonable price.
Sandra Frankart
This tent is easy to set up but it leaked at the window. I am not sure if I just got a bad tent but by the time we found this out it was too late to return. I’m very disappointed. I wish the company would extend the time frame and send me a new one. It is so easy to assemble and that is what I like best about it.
Marcela Alvarez
My friends bought this tent the last time we went camping, it poured the entire night and their tent stayed dry while mine didn’t! I knew I had to buy it right away. With 2 people it’s easy to assemble in 5 minutes, plus it comes it a sturdy bag for easy storage, big enough to fit the tent without needing to pack it tightly.
Mohtashim Khan
Easy setup, compact in car.
Gloria Tiernan
Perfect size and Easy set up! Glad I purchased from Reactive Outdoor! This is a easy one person set up! Everything is as described and shown in the details and images! Great Pricing as well!
Katherine Lester
We needed a new, smaller tent for a festival. (My other one is way to big for the plot). So far, the most I can say, is this is incredibly light weight, and when I set it up in my yard to test it out, it took all of two minutes to set up, which to me is the absolute best part. Also a huge fan of having doors on both sides of the tent for increased air flow.
Russell Vitko
We use it for camping and keeping grandkids out of direct sunlight. There is nothing I don’t like about it and definitely would purchase another one ❤️
chelsea
This is an awesome tent. I have used it in all seasons. It stands up well to heavy rain and very strong winds. My husband, 2 kids and I fit comfortably. There’s a hook to hang your light and a pouch on the side to store small items. And my favorite part is how easy it is to set up. At first I could set it up in 5 mins but I can do it in 1!
george
This is a single skin tent. Goes up in seconds, and down. Spacious inside. I use it as storage and sitting (especially in rainy or buggy places), and sometimes as bathroom tent ( not so obvious as those dedicated toilet tents and more versatile and easier to take down). Yes at 5'9" I can't stand up straight but I can sit in my camp chairs, so getting washed and dressed is easy. It's so quick to go up and down I use it at home too as a screen room. I also like that the carry bag is oversize so tent goes in without a struggle and a few other extras can be tossed in too. I haven't camped in really heavy downpour yet, if I had time I'd probably hang a tarp over but I'd do that for any tent. I liked it's so light if I change my mind on best site I can just pick it up and move it. Tip: when taking down open windows so air is let out.

Ok folks I searched long and far for my tent criteria on this one and it MORE than fit the bill for a week long camping/hiking trip. First off it was the maximum size for the smallest camping sites in Yellowstone. I wanted roomie but lightweight and it was!! It came in a carrying case and fit nicely in the bag to get flown there. Fits two adults and two dogs plus backpacks nicely. The dual entrance was a bonus as we could get in and out without crawling over. Would also be good to take to the beach which we’ll try this summer. The BEST part was the setup!! Click... it’s UP!! Click fold... it’s DOWN!! Whoa! And the extra rain hood is already in place. We still sprayed it just in case but it didn’t end up raining. Was warm enough, had vents for cooling, clips for lights, and seemed sturdy. The seams seem well sewn and the zippers well made so far. Stayed up in some windy conditions. My ONLY qualm is that you can’t quite stand up in it for getting dressed. Otherwise PERFECT! I’ll do an addendum after another couple trips to see how it holds up.
Lori J. Church
I often camp solo. I had a Coleman tent that held up very well and it wasn’t exactly difficult to assemble, but I always found I was a bit anxious about the process. Pitching a tent solo can be tricky sometimes. This season I’ve planned several camping trips so I wanted to eliminate that anxiety. After doing quite a bit of research, I landed on this tent because it looked so easy to assemble. I just came home from my first camping trip of the season and I couldn’t be more pleased. It was so easy to assemble I even switched campsites after the first night (to escape obnoxious neighbors). I would never have done this with my Coleman tent! It did thunderstorm for a few hours one night of the trip. I was worried about leaks based on other reviews. I am happy to report - no water leaked into the tent. Bottom line - if you want a hassle free tent camping experience, this is the way to go!
missjenifer
This Reactive Outdoor Tent is great! I'm disabled, so I really appreciate the easy and simple way it just "pops" into shape. I had it completely set up within 5 minutes. The fabric is very durable, as is the hardware, and everything is well constructed and of nice quality. I took my 2 teen kids camping, and we all fit in the tent easily with room to spare. We set up a queen-sized air mattress and still had room to put our bags and supplies. We did not feel cramped in like sardines like other tents we have used. We had plenty of room to sleep and move comfortably without restriction. The hook inside tent at the top was perfect to hang our lantern, and the zipped windows provided fresh air and ample circulation. Taking it down was also quite easy, and everything fit back into the storage bag without a struggle. We were very comfortable in this tent and I am so happy that I chose this one. You cannot beat it for the price.
Daisha
This tent was a breeze to assemble and disassemble. It rained one of the nights we were camping and it held up to all the strong winds and did not get wet on the inside. Will highly recommend.
David M.
Overall a good tent, but give it four stars because the zippers stick easily and there should be a pocket on each end of the tent and there is only one small one. It is easy to put up and take down. Rained a lot and tent is very water resistant.
Angie Lebel
literally writing this from the campground second time using it - but 4th time opening and closing it because it really IS that easy!! POOF! tent is up - and sturdy! comes down just as easily comparatively to other tents - fold in squeeze and drop the center - roll it up and squeeze the air out .. fits into the bag again with some extension on the sturdy straps attached - but still. i knew my tent needed to have ventilation and this thing has it!! it IS the fresh air im out here to enjoy after all .. the zippered windows are so wasy to open & close with a flick - all the zippers are slick ..the doors are great since its only a single arch zipper - no hard corners to turn .. ive rarely gotten it stuck - unlike every other tent ive encountered that gets stuck every third pull .. all the screens are well sewn in with tabs to hold the shades rolled up beneath them ..the sizeis perfect for a couple with a doublesize mat and plenty of room to spare for belongings .. its just me tonight and its a small home - spacious! **UPDATE** 5th time using it - had to set up in the wind last night and it wasn't as big of a struggle as i expected! super easy like any other time! VERY happy with this tent - its already paid for itself
Olivia
I thought I was buying a regular tent so when I opened it and it just popped up with barely any work I was immediately glad I purchased this! It’s also water resistant and pretty nice size I definitely recommend!
Scott E. Love
The tent goes up and down quite easily. We like the size and air vents that it has built in. The tent provides good space for 1-3 people. 4 people would make it too crowded.
Kerrie Lang
This pop up tent was a life saver for me! Went camping with a bunch of moms and our 5th grade girls- easiest tent ever!!
LaTonya Ash
This tent has more than enough room for 3-4 people to sit and to lay comfortably. It has great ventilation and bug protection with a view. Love the built in pocket for your cell phone and keys. Very easy to assemble and to take down and to put back into the storage/carrying bag. Very glad I made this purchase. I would recommend others to buy one.
Samantha Reynolds
Smaller than expected, but I loved the quick setup and takedown. Didn't actually try it long enough to know the water resistance.
Jeff Evans
Too cramped with 2 twin cots. But otherwise a decent tent.
Kristina
We use these tents on top our grandma houseboat where it’s really windy they are perfect much larger than we expected my cousin and I got one we love them !
Tyler
Not as sturdy as I'd like. Kind of a pain to put away.
Maureen P Beebe
Quickly delivered and works as described. Very happy with this tent.
Colin Robinson
I wanted a tent that I can setup quickly for one night trips. This tent definitely fits the bill. I've slept in this tent twice now. Two problems I found are 1. You must leave two vents open a small amount at night, otherwise you will have condensation on the inside. And 2, the door zipper cover can easily get stuck in the zipper. The manufacturer can easily fix this issue by making the door zipper cover a little longer. One other note:. You do neew to use the string tear downs with tent to create a downward force to keep the fiber glass legs hinges locked, otherwise they can become unlocked and collapse. Other than the above, this is a great little tent that sets up quickly with plenty of room for two. Also I like that the ground sheet is more than just a sewed in tarp, it is made out of a decent light weight material. No need for an early retirement of this tent.
Mandi Shilig
Used this for a beach camping trip & it rained, the tent did great!
Ty hadji
Bag zipper broke on first use zippers are not the greatest so be aware of that
Dallas A. Babineaux
Easiest tent I ever set up! First night we used it we got blasted with 45mph winds for over 7 hours. (Not the most thrilling event...) The tent was partially blown down several times despite being lashed at all points. I did not expect it to hold up to that wind and was surprised it did so well. I was able to quickly fix it during the storm. The tent suffered no damage. We used it again a week later. I would certainly purchase again. The zippers are a bit on the small side, but the ventilation is superb!
Leeroy Jenkins
Had an issue with the first one, and left a review. They reached out to me and replaced the tent. Review is updated to reflect the customer service
Edwin
Really good tent And very easy to assemble, but is more for two people than 4
Bryant Guzman
Didn't know what to expect. Wow was thus way easier and BIGGER than I thought. Already used it camping and at the beach. It's just so easy to put together. No more messing with annoying poles lol. Well there are poles here too.. just muuucchh easier to put up and down. May be buying second soon.
Lloyd Faloon
Tent is very easy and quick to setup. Less then a minute i had it up and less then a minute I had it down and packed away.
Jeffrey Solie
Easiest tent I have ever put up and taken down!!
FirsttimeMom
Easy set up for this single mom with a toddler. I can do it all by myself in a few minutes. Great size, plenty of space for our air mattress. I wanted a tent with room to grow and this one gives us plenty of space. I haven't had to test it against the elements yet, but it seems well made and sturdy.
KJP
This tent is very easy to erect. 3 min total, 1 person setup...for it to take shape. Staking it out takes more time and is always variable because my camping area was mostly rock. Had it been soil or sand...different story and much faster. The good: Doorway and windows all have zippers that function well. Very spacious inside for 1 or 2 or even 3 people. Of course more people, more crowded. Packed away easily in the carrying case it came in. No issue with the 'factory fold syndrome' where things come out of a box that you can't get them back into. I didn't even carefully fold it up and it still fit in its case. Comes with 8 tent pegs. Guy ropes work well and have sturdy sliders. It rained a bit and no leak. Gusting winds 15mph and up did not bring it down or damage it. The bad: it is definitely NOT a 4season tent. Inside temp will be similar to outside temp. Included rain fly only covers the peak. Windows will leak if they are open when it is raining so a larger rain fly is needed to allow for ventilation during rain and to keep the sun off or cold at bay. At 7 lbs and about 31 inches long when folded, it's not a backpacking tent. I used it for motorcycle camping..So if you buy a large rainfly to go with it, this should do well even in bad rain or colder temps. I used it at 58 degrees and it was chilly inside.
Glenn Murray
Easy to assemble and disassemble. Survived a windstorm. Great product, especially for the price.
Thomas Daniels
I just used this tent for the first time yesterday. The zippers on the door stuck to the lining on the first use and could not be dislodged making the foot inoperable. I cannot find where to contact this seller. I am seeking a replacement. It was only used one time. This was a Christmas present.
Beth
I have camped 3 times in my reactive outdoor tent. I love it. It sets up easy and fast. Take down is easy also. I only had a light rain one night but had no water issues. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to new campers.
Yo Soy Yo
Great value for your money overall. Haven't used in heavy rain but with some light rain and wind I had no issues, super easy to assemble and something i was no able to do with previous tents is that it will fit back in the bag as it was when new. Dont have to worry about the way i fold it. Folds one way and fits back in. Size is very good. Was able to feet queen size mattress inside. No space on the sides for anything else but maybe a couple shoes but it fit with no issues.
Jose
Love how it’s light weight, easy to assemble after you get the hang of it. Overall a very nice well worth your money family tent !! NOT disappointed at all !! So excited for this weekend to use it !!
Tina Leese
My first experience with this tent was not a success as it would not stay up. Fortunately the Reactive Outdoor Company rectified my issue by sending me a new tent. This was a complete success and I love my new tent. Thank you Reactive Outdoor for your excellent customer service.
William Lane
We were surprised how easy this was to set up. We thought pop-up tents were a gimmick, but turns out they really work. Highly recommend this over a standard tent.
Alex Bryant
Bought this tent looking for a cheap waterproof tent and this was definitely what we needed. It leaked a tiny bit from the top in the morning but it was really only a tiny bit of condensation left from the thunderstorm the night before. Keyword: Thunderstorm. It kept us dry even in the harsh winds, sideways rain, and top down pour. If you're wanting something that would be super easy for more than 2 people to use the small probably isn't the best pick. If you're looking for something that will feel like home just while camping this is not it. This is the tent that will keep you and your other camper dry while you sleep. The setup was a little odd but if you pay attention to the instructions it's up in 10 seconds and down in less than. Good ventilation for when the humidity rose a bit and we slept.
Kyla
I can't believe how easy this tent to assemble!! It took us literally 10 sec to put it together ! Quality is good and reasonable for its price! Perfect size in our car! My kids love it!
Warren
item as expected. nice material. only it took a little while to figure it out on how to let sa umbrella spring pop out
ben
poured rain first night of use, not a drop of water inside from anywhere. very pleased all around.
Katie Gibson
For a first time lone camper without the help of my dad and brothers I had a super easy time getting this tent set up! And it was very affordable as well as comfortable.
Melissa C.
My parents bought me this tent for Christmas but I haven’t had a chance to use it until my trip to Zion this weekend. I was really nervous about how it’d hold up against the 26 mph wind (since it feels pretty flimsy) but was SO impressed with how sturdy it was. The setup was easy to do alone and so was the take down, I can’t wait to take it out again I didn’t get to see how well it held up against water since we left right before the rain.
Derek Jensen
This thing is awesome! As a kid I always wanted one of those frisbee pop-up tents but my mom always said they would flop (pun intended). So instead I got this bad boy and it is awesome and super quick to set up and take down. No complaints from me.
Hank
Great all around car camping tent! Fairly lightweight so you can carry easily. Waterproof for the rainy months when you still want to camp! Very easy to assemble and put back together!
Lucas
Very nice for my girlfriend and I. We did early spring, late winter camping in it. It is very nice because of the vents are able to be zipped up in the bottom and it has room for us being plus sized people also gear room. It is kinda hard to get the locking mechanism to go down but not to difficult. Very simple and a good tent. Gave a 4 star because of that
Mr. Fish
First, I had one of these tents a few years ago that was supposed to be easy to put up. I got it put together ok, but taking it down was a nightmare; I ended up breaking the poles. I have to tell you that this tent is not like that at all; I think tent technology has come a long way. To put it up, all you need to do, literally, is take it out of the bag, spread the poles out and straighten the poles (when its not together, the tent poles are folded in half) and the tension of the poles takes over and it just sort of pops into place. Taking it down, all you need to do is pull on the bottom half of each of the poles and they spring closed. The only problem I had was that the tent nylon material was pull over the hinge on one of the poles and it wouldn't let the tent close. So, just make sure you keep the tent material out of the way and the poles fold back in half. Roll up the tent and put it back in the bag. Things I didn't like: The side windows. They have a zipper in both sides that you can "open" a window on each side. Well, the tent cover (for rain protection) comes down over the window and blocks the air. So, its like there is no window. Also, the zippers don't feel super hardy to me, but I could be wrong. Time will tell on that one. Things I liked: The rain protective cover--looks like it will have pretty good protection from rain. The hooks and tie downs that are on the inside and outside--will be helpful. The nice bag -- it comes in a nice bag that has compression straps around it to keep it nice and tight/small. The tent is roomy -- should fit two easily and probably 4. Overall, a very nice purchase and you get a lot for your money with this tent.
Dwijen
Love the item. Super easy to assemble and super spacious. Highly recommend this item for first time camping guys.
Rae
The company and product deserves 5 stars. I like the design of the tent and the ease of putting it up. It’s very roomy but the way it’s designed it doesn’t take up to much space. You can use it inside for the kids or outside for adults. However the company deserves 5 stars as well, for excellent customer service. Two of the poles on the tent were bent when i took it out of the box. I didn’t get around to returning it. To my surprise the company read my first review about the problem with the poles. The COMPANY CONTACTED ME. They replaced the tent and said to keep the first one as well. It was enjoyable to do busy with a company that has integrity. It lifted our spirits. We live in a hot spot for covid-19 and have been home most all of the year. To have a company truly care about the customer and correct a mistake hassle free means a lot these days.
heather
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars on easy to assemble. We timed it, and it took about 45 seconds from snapped shut to totally open. I'm so excited to use it this summer, but we're going to try it out in our backyard first!
Travis Southerland
I love everything green so I was looking for a green tent when I found this one. This is actually a pretty decent tent for the price. It can be set up really easily and packs away pretty easily as well. The only time I have had issue is if it is windy. The way it folds takes a little getting used to and the wind can make it harder to fold. This is still probably the easiest tent I have ever set up and taken down. I have not had any issue with rain, but the rain fly can barely be called that. It is smaller than a child’s umbrella. It is just large enough to cover the top. I have used a cot in it but it was a tight fit. I have also used a queen air up mattress and that took up about 85% of the floor space.
KL Baker
We had a HUGE family tent we would drag out every year and it would take 30-60 minutes to remember the setup order with the poles and get it up and functioning. After the poles finally bit the dust, we started shopping and found this gem. Super easy to setup and take down! It fits back in the package too :) This comfortably sleeps our family of 5 (3 kiddos under 8) and 2 adults. Thankfully we have not tested out the water resistance, but I'm happy that is part of the deal with this tent. Absolutely would recommend this tent!
Sylvia
This tent packs small and is light and easy to set up. Easy to pull in and out of the carrying bag it comes in. I am able to set it up on my own without any help. I am able to inflate a full-size air mattress on the inside and there's enough space for all my stuff and my dog to sleep next to me.
Regena Wilks
This tent was super easy to setup and take down. I took it out to test the set up before I take it on a camping trip, here in a few weeks, and it was SUPER easy. Very spacious inside and I love that it has a center hook for a lantern already there. Can't wait to give it a try. Due to the weight, this is definitely a car camping tent. Remains to be seen if it can hold up to our camping frequency and regime.
Allison Guerra
Full disclosure I used product 4 times before writing the review and all in Colorado. Pros: As described extremely easy to assemble(1min set up, 3min breakdown), you can fit a queen size air mattress. No matter how you fold it it will always fit in it's container, light weight. Plenty of windows for ventilation. Cons: Due to ease of set up (mechanism directly on top) there is no open roof, if you are a star gazer you can't.
MelnGeorgia
I love that this tent is super easy and fast, for 1 person alone to set up and take down. The pockets inside the tent are positioned too low to be useful. They drag onto the floor. To be on the safe side, always string a tarp up over the tent.
Dave
I bought this tent because it was my girlfriend's first time camping and I wanted something spacious, comfortable, and easy to setup/take down. This tent hit the mark! The automatic setup did not disappoint; it was up in seconds. It's also lighter and more compact than other automatic tents that I've seen. We fit a full sized air mattress and still had plenty of room for our gear. Keep in mind, you'll need a tarp/footprint as I don't think the floor is durable enough on its own. Also the rain fly is pretty small, but the windows zip up and seem well protected so I don't think it's an issue. All in all, this tent was a great value!
Dimitri B.
I was looking for an instant tent, and chose this one due to all the positive reviews, and I was really pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It really is nearly instant to set up, you just have to make sure you have plenty of space and something with which to hammer the stakes into the ground. I really agree with the reviewer who said this is a tent to enjoy nature in; HUGE front door, and tons of ventilation. It does take a good 5-7 minutes to take down, but that's just to ensure you've folded it securely enough to put back in the bag.
Anna L
So far I am very pleased with this tent. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up and just a little more to pack it up. It's so easy that I could bring it along for my daughter's party at the park and pop it up no problem. Right now I'm using it in my backyard with a cot in order to have comfortable bug free hang out with a breeze. It did rain very hard once while I had it out and it was slightly wet inside but very minor given how strong the storm was. I was impressed. The only issue I've had so far has been with the zipper on the door. It's gotten stuck a couple times. I was able to fix it but will not be happy if it starts happening often. Hope to update in a few months.

This tent is probably one of the best you could buy. For the price I paid the quality is unbeatable, the material is top notch, the stitching is well made and you could tell that Reactive Outdoor really put great effort in designing the tent. Me, my wife and our four daughters have enough room to sleep comfortably and that’s including our camping gears and bags inside the tent. Setting up the tent for the first time by myself took less than 5 minutes and taking it down is just as easy. We have tried the tent for a couple of months before writing this review, because I want write an honest review and point out any negative issues, but so far even rainy nights was not a problem. We didn’t experience any leaks during the wet season here in the Philippines. The windows and doors are also large enough to circulate air on hot days. I used my rechargeable bike light during night time, I just hang it in the middle of the tent which is awesome at night time. My cousin actually likes my family tent and he’s going to order one, but I think that I’ll just surprise him and gift him for his upcoming birthday. I just want to help people to choose the right tent for their family. Would I recommend this tent to a friend or family members... absolutely! The priceless part is the quality time with my wife and 4 daughters. I hope this review helps and don’t forget to take videos and pictures with your love ones. I know we’ll have great time looking at pictures and watching videos from camping trips once all my daughters are all grown ups.
Jill
I have to be honest in saying that we have not used this in inclimate weather, however, this tent is fab. I have always been a Coleman girl, but I have found them cumbersome and even a pain to pitch. I wanted something quick & easy now that I have a family and I knew we were not going to be camping anywhere extreme. This was perfect. We even used it in our house during COVID. It went up in a matter of seconds (literally!). Fits 3 people with plenty of room for a 4th. If you want ease and comfort & lightweight - this is the way to go. Again, I cannot attention to rain and wind, but this is well worth the price for the mild camping experience and perhaps beyond.
Muffin
Ok, I used to go camping often as a kid w my family, but had never put up a tent myself... the men always took care of that. I took my first camping trip as an adult w a few of my girlfriends just to get out of the city and I’m the only one that had every been camping so imagine that, lol. So this is the first tent I’ve ever set up. It is very light weight, so easy carry. Also, the set up was pretty quick and easy as well, I watched a video regarding how to set the tent up. The take down was a little tricker for me. Take down was pretty simple once I saw the instructions. I stayed in the tent alone w a twin air mattress n it was enough room for me to fit comfortably w my things n some space to maneuver around. If I added another twin air mattress there would have been little to no walking space or space for bags to fit comfortably. Probably more suitable for sleeping bags if you want to fit more ppl, but for me personally 2 adults fit comfortably, more than that is a crowd in my opinion. I can’t speak to its water resistance bc it did not rain while I was camping. But the tent worked well for me.
Carine B.
I got this tent as an upgrade to our small 2 person tent, which, sharing with a now-teenager, was really too small. We were amazed by the easy setup of this tent; it really just pops up and then just needs the stakes to be put in and is easy to take apart again too (just remember to leave the door open so the air can escape, otherwise you end up with a big air trap). This tent generously fits 2 air mattresses and will leave enough space to stash your bags and have some space between the two mattresses. If you're comfortable in closer quarters, a 3rd person would fairly easily fit with still some room for bags; 4 would be a very tight squeeze (and only possible with the small camping pads, not cushy air mattresses) and I really don't think 5 is an option. The tent height is sufficient to put on pants standing up while hunched over but not to stand up in (I'm 5'8"). Overall, a great buy!
Uncleluckey
This tent set up in less than 15 seconds. Maybe call it a minute, as you check to make sure everything is locked in place. Then another 2-3 minutes staking it down. It also came down super quick. I would say less than a minute for take down and fold up as well. A Queen mattress basically takes up the entire space. I’ll try to repost when I get my full size in the tent. I would say it’s great for a family with two small children. However, it’s more of a 2-3 adults tent. I haven’t used it for a real camp yet, so not sure how it will hold up in the rain. So far, I’m super satisfied. Edit: 3 nights of camping and no rips or tears. Still no rain, so can’t comment on that.

This tent was easy to assemble. However collapsing the tent was far more frustrating then dealing with any regular tent. The instructions were useless at best. Upon trying to disassemble the tent several pieces broke and we had to leave the tent in the trash bin at the campsite because it simply fell apart trying to take it down and wouldn't fit in the car after assembly.

I’m so Impressed with how small, how easy it is to install and takedown. It feels like less than 7lbs and took me 10min to put it up, and put it down and inside the carry on bag. The material is wonderful. There's 5 in our family. My husband and myself plus our 3 tall kids. We all fit sleeping on our sleeping bag. When my husband and I went camping without our kids we we’re able to put our queen size air mattress with still room in each side of the bed for us to get out of the bed. Again, i am SUPER impressed.

I have not taken the tent out camping yet; however, I am confident that my eight-year-old grandson could set it up if shown one time. I literally set it up, walked in it, and took it down and re-packed in carry bag in five minutes. My wife was saying that she wished we had one like this when our boys were in scouts. I have not had the opportunity to check the water resistance, but I am confident that the tent will be awesome, based on the ease of set-up. I am almost 60 years old and disabled, so I am not going to set it up again to take a picture, but I will not have any issues using this tent for camping with my grandson. Plenty of room for air mattress or cots. I really like it.

It'd say it's a two to three max for large tent. With two single air mattress, only two. The same with just pads. If it was advertised as so, I'd review it higher. The pop up feature was great. It collapsed just fine contrary to other reviews. Most of the time putting tent took on staking which is great. The tent was OK during wet weather but I'm not sure It'd trust in heavy rain. Loved the windows and entry door. Seemed good quality materials.

(Using my brother's acct) Took me less than 5 min to set up, from opening the bag to straightening the poles. It was so easy I kept second guessing myself if I skipped a step lol. I had my brother be my model so I can send photos to my friend so he can get a good idea of how many adults can fit in there comfortably. We are taking this tent on a road trip so I had to test if I could set it up myself. I gave it 4 stars for now because I don't know how the tent fly and the tent itself will hold up under wind and rain.

It was the easiest tent to put up. I got confused taking it down but we figured it out and once we did it was still easier than other tents I've had. The only thing I didn't like was the condensation inside the tent. It rained and I don't think it came in from any leaks. I think it was coming in from the ground condensation. My blankets were soaked and I had to dry it out. luckily I had a Mr heater. Next time I'll probably put a tarp or something under it to avoid that...

For years I've only ever used my 2-person backpacking for every camping experience, whether that be car camping at a campground at a state recreation area or camping in the backcountry of the Utah wilderness. I decided it was about time to invest in a bigger, easier-to-set-up tent specifically for car camping. I did quite a bit of research before settling on this tent from Reactive Outdoor based on all the great reviews I read about it across the web. After one weekend of using it I'm initially very happy with my purchase for the following reasons: 1) It's incredibly easy to set up and take down - It took my friend and me less than a minute to set up the tent on our first try and under five minutes to take it down and pack it away back in the carrying bag. 2) It's spacious - I fit a full-sized air mattress along with my German Shepherd's dog bed in the tent with plenty of room to spare for storing other odds-and-ends inside the tent. I could easily fit a queen-sized air mattress and still not feel cramped. 3) It holds up in bad weather - Our first night sleeping in the tent we experienced a sudden rainstorm that brought on some strong winds and heavy rain for at least an hour. My friend and I felt a couple rogue raindrops come through but expected it to be much worse. It was a good first test of its limits in the rain.

I loved how compact it is! It arrived quickly and neatly packaged. Comes with a nice carrying case and sets up super easy. Easy to follow instructions! It's a lot bigger than I thought! I'm 6' 0" and I fit very comfortably inside with my wife, 11yr old daughter and mother in law. We were all impressed! To pack it away was just as simple. We are very happy with this purchase and I will definitely recommend to my friends and family!!

I love this tent! I'm a senior lady and I was able to put up and take down this tent in just a few minutes. I went on a two week horse camping trip and this tent held up throw some strong wind storms. Ventilation is great, I could cool down the tent quickly by opening all the windows. Plenty of room for my cot and camping gear. I also love the fact that it actually fits back in the bag when you put it away. Would recommend.

This was my first tent purchase and use. After looking through dozens of tents over several days, I decided to purchase the 3 Secs tent. I've been camping twice now and I absolutely LOVE this tent. It's lightweight and so easy to set up in just minutes (the takedown is simple and quick too). There is plenty of room in the tent. My boyfriend and I had a queen size air bed as well as two beds for our dogs. I really like the windows, leaving them open allows for great ventilation but having the cover is nice too when you want a little more privacy. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the 3 Secs Tent again and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a solid tent for a great price!

Searching for outdoor tents, I found this camping shelter unusual because of pop up mechanism, that should help to build up the whole tent construction easily for people who have no much experience with it. Unfortunately it wasn’t. My husband and I were struggling with that mechanism more than 40 minutes compared to the time it was shown on the sales promotion video and attached instruction. This pop up mechanism just stuck in and didn’t move up. So you need to make a lot of effort to get it out. When we finally got it out, the whole tent looked nice and comfortable. We spent a day outside with our family and in the evening when there was little rain we were fine because the tent is really water resistant. So , I can say Yes, to “water resistant “, “ light weight”( it is really not heavy to carry even if you have no car). But.. I can say “No” to “ easy assemble”. My experience wasn’t good with this .

Easy to set up. Very roomy. Only thing I didn't like is the first time using the tent it rained on my camping trip (thunderstorm) and it leaked. Had small pools of water and it seemed to be mainly dripping from the fasteners for the windows. I'll either have to buy a tent sealer and spray the seams or only use it on trips where there is no rain in the forecast.

We received our tent but when We opened it up during camping we found that 1 of the legs was snapped in half. luckily somebody had gorilla tape to fix it for the time being. later the zipper snapped off the door. It tends to catch ro the fabric and when we tried to Separated it it snapped off. What I liked about the tent it was convenient, small compact. Its a shame it didn't workout the way we wanted it to. I suggest do ur research n watch the video it was easy to pop n take down after u figure it out.

I received my Reactive Outdoor easy setup tent one week ago. I was concerned as to the easiness of setting up the tent. This is because not only am I purt-near 65 years old, I also only have one leg. I'm also out of shape. Would this tent be manageable for me by myself? I put it to the test and to my delight, not only was I able to erect the tent in less than 1 minute but was also able to take the tent down with absolutely no problems. In my tent I put a cot, ice chest and a chair with room to spare. The tent is well put together, zippers are strong and window flaps work nicely. I highly recommend this tent. If I can put it up most anyone should be able to put it up. Good luck

This is the first negative review I have ever given anything online. If I could rate it a 0 I would. The tent was purchased solely to have camp outs in the back yard with grandkids, but the tent continues to collapse as the joints will not lock - even tried to use duct tape to no avail! It is worthless and created great disappointment for the grandkids when it continued to collapse on them!

I've been an "outdoorsy" person all my life and have had numerous tents through the years... some huge, some small. To me, the worst part of camping is setting up and tearing down. I hate running tent support poles through those little sleeves along the tent edges. Especially when using those break apart bungy tethered poles. But THIS TENT completely does away with that. I just took this tent out of its box and set it up for the first time. You have to try this to believe it. It literally set up in about 30 seconds and the only reason it look that long is because I wanted to fully observe how it works. I don't use the word Amazing in hardly any of my reviews but this tent deserves it. I set it on the ground, unfolded the legs, lifted it up and it pops right up into a great tent. I didn't add the rain fly or pound in the tent stakes but that would just be another minute or so. This is a game changer as far as I'm concerned. I bought this tent because a friend of mine has one very similar and while the rest of our camping crew is setting up, he's already chilling just watching us struggle with "normal" tents. The tent isn't as compact in storage as most tents are due to the frame. It's about the same girth but longer. It's a bit shy of three feet long. This is only an issue for me because I go Kayak camping and space is critical. To help combat that concern, the storage bag is one of the best tent bags I've ever used. Normally you almost can't get a tent back in its original storage bag but this one is made a bit baggy right from the start. And... it has super handy buckling straps to cinch it down. And it has carrying handles. I camp a lot in salt environments and I 'm not sure what the tent components are made of and how well they'll hold up to salty air. So as of now, the near instant set up is awesome and the potential drawbacks (other than the larger than normal size) are just theoretical. I love this right now and can't wait to take it on its maiden voyage but if it breaks my heart later on I'll be sure to edit this review so folks know what they're getting.

This tent is so easy to set up and take down. It rained a bit while in the mountains and i was dry the entire time. The zipper on the tent are my only negative thing I would like to bring up. They were stubborn and kept getting stuck on the tent. I suggest purchasing different tent stakes, this one comes with the traditional flimsy metal ones.
Joshua and Hannah
Super easy to put together. Perfect size for a couple and dog. It also fits a full air mattress. Left it outside in the rain and the inside stayed dry. Would for sure by again! Great for weekend camping.
Jared Wylie
This tent has it all. Easy to setup (even in the dark of night), waterproof, and aesthetically pleasing. Great decision to purchase this tent.
