CORE Family Camping Instant Cabin Tents with Quick Setup

I give this tent five stars. I’m 59 years old and have rheumatoid arthritis and I have no trouble setting this tent up. It’s sets up very fast. I’ve used it many times through each season and it held up great during a few nasty thunderstorms. I live in Kansas and the winds here can be super strong. No problem with this tent. No leaks. Plenty of space for all of my things. I love the open top for nice nights. Plenty of air flow. Great purchase.

First Impression, LOVE IT! Did a quick set up and inspection. Had watched so many videos on how to set this up that I didn't even look at the instructions. It went up quickly and easily and came down the same way. Forgot about the two ties when stuffing it back into the bag and, next time, getting it back into the carry case should be much easier. I looked at so many tents before finally making the choice on this, I don't recall the generous lower vents, allowing a breeze to flow through that will actually be low enough to enjoy while you sleep, if you like. In fact, about half the lower portion of each of the two sides are mesh under the green fabric and allow for a lovely breeze to flow through if you like. Be sure to factor the way the wind blows into your set up to get the most benefit from those vents. Most other tent reviews I read were disappointing because the windows were too high as to allow any breeze to flow through the lower portion of the tent while you sleep. I cannot wait to actually use this. I'm a recently separated, 62 year old female, 5'3" and this tent is everything I hoped it would be. Also, I LOVE the extra storage pockets, the "loft" and lantern hook. If you're used to a camper but didn't get it in the settlement, get yourself an instant tent. This is much bigger than I need, but as big as I WANT. I hope to enjoy as much of the outdoors as I want in this tent. Will update my review after my first solo camping trip. The first overnight trip is under my belt and I love this tent even more! All of the above made the trip easy and stress free. But waking up in this tent was even better. It was a VERY HUMID evening in southern KY when I went to bed. When I woke, the tent was well ventilated having left each "window" open a couple inches at the top, not a hint of dew inside the tent. The inner walls were as dry as if they'd been sitting in the hot sun all day. I even had the rain fly (I'd rather not see all the bugs trying to get in and only a couple had to be encouraged to vacate when I took the tent down.) And that's the other mentionable detail. When I took the tent down, the ground underneath was very damp from the humidity. I did use a tarp underneath and I put an outdoor carpet on the floor inside to save the tent's floor.

Love it! Used the tent for the 1st time last weekend. Easy to setup though I wouldn't quite call it 60 seconds. Can be done by one person but definitely helps to have a second person to help. Plenty of space inside to stretch out and the two organizers were both super handy. I'm 5'9" and could easily stand inside in the middle. Ideal tent for 3-4 people with room to store your gear. Weather was cool and dry so can't speak to rain protection of the tent. Definitely would have helped for Core to post a "how to break tent down" video but there are a few on YouTube to give you an idea. Not difficult at all to take down just make sure to squeeze out the air so that it will fit easily into the carry bag. Tent is also much lighter than expected which is a nice plus. Two other items: 1) As many other reviews have said, the door zipper will get stuck more than you like so you need to handle with care when opening and closing. It's only annoying because it's the one zipper you use the most but it's NOT a deal-breaker for buying the tent. 2) Found in setting up that once or twice the silver locking buttons on the support poles came undone on their own. Again, not a deal-breaker as you will notice if it does when setting up. See attached pictures as well. Look forward to many camping adventures with this tent!

I added this to tent to my back yard surrounded by woods, vegetable and flower gardens. I added a good quality queen air mattress, some crisp cotton sheets, a muslin cover and a light wt down comforter at the foot of the bed. Very easy to put up. I love the moon roof/sky light....exactly what I was looking for. It's purely to relax in, take a nap while the birds chirp and an extra room to escape the mosquitos. Quality is excellent; zippers work well, lots of air flow. Seems durable and so far no water inside despite being out in the weather for a couple of months. New England🇺🇸

This tent is FANTASTIC! I camp alone or with one other person and there's plenty of space in here for a full size air mattress, clothes, gear, could put a couple chairs in here and a small table, it's a lot of room for 2 people. I also appreciated the 6' ceiling and being able to stand up straight inside. This tent has so much ventilation as well, windows on either end and two windows on the front side including the door. Plus the entire top is mesh if you leave the rain fly off. Then something i'd never had in a tent before, floor vents. If you go someplace where there's a little bit of a breeze, air should flow through this tent pretty well. Unfortunately where I was camping my first day out, there was very little wind. Putting the tent up is easy, it is really as fast as advertised once you have some practice. Then there's around 12 pegs, four for the legs, four for the rainfly and then 3 or 4 more for the ground vents and the door. So it's pretty well pegged down when you're finished with them, it seems like it should handle wind pretty well. I've had a tent with a ceiling mounted shelf before and this had one too. But this one also has a mesh gear catcher across the back wall of the tent which is real handy for stuff. I put my 7" tablet in one and laid on the bed and watched a movie while going to sleep. Also stashed my phone, keys, wallet and bottle of water. I never knew i needed one of these until I had one lol. The only two negatives I have to say are this. First the door zippers drove me nuts, the curve of the upper right corner of the door with the zipper was difficult to navigate. I would say the zipper door on this tent is the most difficult to use i've ever had to deal with. Now possibly messing with the pegs you can change the pressures and find a happy place but it was just an annoyance all weekend. The second somewhat negative is while the setup instructions are great, you're left on your own to figure out how to break it down and CORE has no videos on the topic. I ended up watching a Coleman insta-up breakdown video to figure out how to pack up my CORE tent. The company should have its own videos, i mean how hard is it to film and put something on youtube these days, it's a no brainer Core.

Pros: Tent is easy to set up; took me <5 minutes including attaching rainfly and stakes. It did fit against the tailgate of my Subaru, thus took up surprising little room for its size. Cons: A tent should keep you DRY. Its floor should be robust. You should be able easily upzip doors and windows. The poorly trimmed zippers (see photo) mean the door/window panels get stuck. I have used this tent ONCE, on a groomed campsite - meaning the ground was flat with NO sticks. I went out hiking all day. It drizzled/light rain on and off all day. When I returned, there was considerable water in the tent. Surprisingly, there was a pool of water in the seat of my camp chair - the one I place my electrical cord in to make sure it didn't get wet in case water splashed in through the lower air vents. I had placed the chair near one of the windows and the window toggle wicked water directly into the chair. See photo for water puddle under one of the toggles. Finally, after arriving home, when I unpacked the soaking wet tent to dry it I noticed 2 holes on the floor (see photo). Since the camp site was pristine, I think the holes may have happened during the packing process. Do not waste your time/money on this tent. I plan to see if I can return it. A tent which can not keep you dry in a drizzle is useless, and potentially dangerous. I am lucky I didn't have an electrical fire due to the water intrusion.

Y’all, this CORE 6 Person Instant Cabin Tent is no cap the GOAT. We got absolutely cooked by a microburst and what legit felt like a tornado auditioning for a lead role, and this tent said, “Nah, I’d win.” The wind was throwing hands, the rain was coming down sideways, and somehow this tent stayed locked in. Me and my family were completely dry the entire time. And here's the wildest part—it didn't even pop a stake. Not one. The weather was acting unhinged, but this tent was standing on business the whole time. That's when I knew this thing wasn't just camping gear—it was the main character. The bug protection was also elite-tier. Not a single mosquito, fly, or random creepy-crawly got in. While the bugs were down bad outside, we were inside chilling, protected by what felt like a force field. Setup was easy, there was plenty of room for the family, and the overall quality is honestly giving premium. After surviving weather that should've had this tent fighting for its life, I'm beyond impressed. This tent passed every vibe check imaginable, ate and left no crumbs, and proved it's built like a tank. If you're on the fence about buying it, this is your sign.

Amazing! Set up in literally 2 minutes! Fits 2 adults and a large dog with room to spare. Worth every penny to not have to struggle in the heat setting up a tent.

سهلة التركيب والطي.. واسعة جدا ، تتسع لثمانية اشخاص للجلوس وخمسة اشخاص عند النوم. انصح بها

Standing firm on even in desert. Worthy for the money spent. Full size for standing and sitting. Roomy for even six people. Only drawback is the top ventilation to be shut down by our own clothing or by any means during cold weather and sandy areas

Great tent but not good for the desert as its open and sand gets in everywhere its not worth it to buy it, unless you in a country with no dust and sand in the event that it gets windy...
