CAMEL CROWN 2/3/4/5 Person Camping Dome Tent, Waterproof, Spacious, Lightweight, Portable Backpack Tent for Outdoor Camping/Hiking

While I cannot comment on LONG-TERM durability, I used this tent during a recent, 1st ever SOLO backpacking trip (5 days / 4 nights), and this tent met, and in most cases exceeded, ALL of my requirements: 1. EASE of assembly 2. Lightweight (preferably under 2.5 lbs or under); I think they said it's 2.1 lbs... and I did not even have need to bring the stakes! 3. Non-bulky / doesn't take up a lot of room 4. Affordability 5. Durability (NOTE: I have reasonable expectations and am not expecting this tent to outlive some of the super pricy models... but on the flipside - UNLIKE the cheap backpack (from a DIFFERENT company) that I'd purchased on amazon that broke apart while just doing a dry run in loading it) - obviously, even cheap gear should be durable enough that it lasts a few trips and doesn't easily break apart like that) Despite having rocky ground (and some sharp vegetation!) here in the Southwest USA, the tent sustained ZERO rips or snags = HUGE / critical! Its weight is lighter than most... but equally important is that it does NOT take up much space - and it definitely did not! NOTE: the slight trade off here is that it was slightly difficult to stuff in its case... but I'd MUCH rather spend a few extra minutes getting in the tiny case that then easily hooks to my backpack in such a way that it DOES NOT cause me to get "close-lined" on vegetation. The tent did cause any "close-lining"... unlike my dang sleeping pad (from a different company)! In terms of ease of assembly: during my DRY RUN, I did have a bit of difficulty with ONE step in the assembly process, but ZERO issues out in the wilderness. Specifically, that was the part where you go to bend the poles in the holders in the corners, after having pushed them through the loops on the tent fabric. I attribute this to having done my dry run on my slick hardwood floor! Out in nature, the ground / earth offers the resistance needed that this step is quick and easy. Just something to keep in mind if you do a dry run on a similar surface. The price is unbeatable for all of the features I'm looking for / that it offers! Most of the negative comments I read seem to come from less than perfect waterproofness. I cannot comment on this personally as the weather was bone dry during my trip and it is VERY, VERY RARE for me to encounter wet weather than I was NOT planning on. Wind, however, is something that can come out of nowhere, but I did not encounter hard wind and cannot comment there. On the final night, there were some gentle gusts for a few hours (and a very occasional moderate gust) and that was it........ tent held up just fine during that... and WITHOUT me having used any of the stakes or guy lines (my partner who taught me the ropes typically doesn't bother with that; and instead we use our gear OR if windy, put a large rock in each corner on the inside (and on this trip, I never even had to put rocks in the corners either). And at times, I'd be off with my daypack hiking mountains, the longest of which was like a 9-10 hr hike = obviously a good part of my gear (which = weight that was in the tent during the night) was with me in my daypack! When I returned 9-10 hrs later, the tent was still standing perfectly, being weighted down with only my backpack on the inside and not much else other than 2 lbs worth of extra shoes.

Not waterproof, water resistant. Cant fit two people either if you have bags

Do not buy this tent! Claims it is water proof but it is not. We got completely soaked. Hadn’t used it until this month and I am outside the return window so can’t get a refund. Very frustrating

These tents are truly wonderful it's a small two man tent yes but for me myself and I it worked great it do this job it even retains quite a bit of heat and I was living off grid and it was very cold but this tent seemed somehow to keep the heat in and keep me being pretty warm it's very comfortable for one person never had any issues with rain getting in has good air flow even though it keeps the heat in it was very fast to set up.

Bought the tent for my grandson to camp with the Boy Scouts, so he uses it often. The poles break easily. I had to buy replacement poles. It is not waterproof. I had to use Scotch Guard for waterproofing. The bag zipper broke on the first use. Bought a bigger bag and works great. The tent sets up easily and folds up with no problem. Zippers on tent itself work great and hold up.
