Overview
Unfolding a pre-assembled frame with telescopic poles is how this cabin tent goes up, with pre-attached stakes. Two rooms and two zippered doors divide the interior, and a rainfly is included.
Fast setup and a large cabin floor are the reasons to consider it for family camping. The limitation is the rating, which suits three-season weather rather than heavy storms.
Who it's for
Families and groups at drive-up campsites can use the pop-up frame and two rooms. Backpackers, winter campers and anyone in heavy rain should look at a more weatherproof, lighter tent.
Pros and cons
- Pre-assembled pop-up frame
- Two rooms and two doors
- Modest water resistance rating
- Heavy to carry
- Setup time stated two ways
Performance notes
A free-standing frame holds shape without guy lines, and the telescopic poles lock for quick setup. Water resistance depends on the fabric rating, the floor and the rainfly. Wind loads a tall cabin shape, so staking matters.
