   Great headroom and easy setup
   I couldn’t be happier with the CAMPROS CP Tent! We recently used it for a family camping trip, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The setup was incredibly easy—my partner and I had it fully assembled in less than 10 minutes. The instructions were clear, and the tent came with everything we needed, including a rainfly and a sturdy carry bag.The tent is spacious, and we had more than enough room for our family of four, plus all our gear. I love the large mesh windows, which provide great ventilation and keep the inside cool during the day while still offering a bit of privacy. The wider door makes getting in and out a breeze, even with sleeping bags and equipment.We experienced some rain and wind during our trip, but the tent held up perfectly! It stayed completely dry inside, and we felt secure. The waterproof rainfly worked like a charm, and there were no leaks or issues.Overall, the CAMPROS CP Tent is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a reliable, spacious, and easy-to-set-up tent. It’s perfect for family trips or group camping, and the fact that it’s so portable and lightweight makes it even better. Highly recommended.

   Nothing fancy, but nothing bad!
   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.

   Great inexpensive tent
   I had not gone camping since I was a kid, so I wasn’t really sure on which tent to buy. After doing a bit of research, I settled on this little guy. It says it fits 3-4 people, but I would say it’s more of a two person tent for comfortability. I guess you could have three adults in there if you didn’t have any bags with you, and each person used a single sized mat. My roommate and I camped in here together with her using a twin-sized air mattress, and me using a single sized mat (width of a sleeping bag). There were maybe 3-4 inches between them.We camped two nights in a desert area with pretty high winds both nights without anchoring down the tent or the rainfly. The first night we got to the site pretty late, but were able to set up the tent in minutes, and only secured the rainfly with one of the two velcro latches (we didn’t notice the second one until the next night). I had practiced setting up the tent beforehand, by myself, and it’s super easy. The winds were probably somewhere between 15-30mph. Without fully securing the rainfly down, it stayed on both nights, to my surprise. On the second night, it rained briefly, but we stayed dry. I can’t say how it holds up in constant rain. It was a bit warm at night, but with the front window open, and the winds, it kept the tent a pretty nice temperature. I had trouble sleeping, though, because of the whipping of the tent. I will say, the next morning, without either of us in, and it not being secured down with wind blowing, it didn’t blow away (I really thought it was going to!).After this campsite, we camped in a more forested area, and secured everything down with the stakes (the tent and the rainfly this time). There was quite a bit of wind at first, and the tent didn’t budge. It stopped by night, and the temperature dropped a lot. We were definitely cold, but that is expected in a tent.As for size and weight, I was able to pack it up in my suitcase (it was actually smaller than my beach chair), so that was a huge bonus. I was flying back from where we were camping, so the compact size was perfect. I’m not sure how it would do in a backpack (as it advertises for hiking), but it was a decent size.Overall, after using it four nights, in wind and a little rain, I’m happy with the tent.
