Acacia Camping Tent, Pop Up Camping Tent with 8 Windows and Footprint, Waterproof Windproof Easy Setup Hub Tent for Family Camping, Hiking and Glamping

I love Acacia tents. This one had upgrades compared to the one I purchased a year prior, which was same color and description. The added covers on the pulls used to set it up were a nice touch, as were the flaps on the ceiling that completely close the top of the tent. My first one came with a net top which was covered by a rain fly, which allowed cold air into the tent. The new Velcro top gives you the option to completely seal it off or leave it open for air to circulate. Set up is fairly easy but it takes a little practice to position yourself properly to pull each side out. These tents are definitely a little on the small side which makes it difficult to have two separate air mattresses in it comfortably. For a single person or a couple sleeping together it’s perfect. The height is exceptional and makes moving around inside the tent easy. I’ve had no problem with leaking even during heavy rain. This tent is solid and barely moves in high wind, especially when compared to my daughter’s regular tent. On our last camping trip it was so windy that her tent kept flattening and looked like it was going to blow away, my Acacia tent stood solid. I would definitely recommend.

Great Tent with Quick Setup and Solid Quality This tent sets up incredibly fast. Just pull out the side using the handle, step inside, and push up on the top. From there, all you need to do is insert the two poles by the door. After doing it once or twice, the process becomes effortless. The included stakes are sturdy and well-made, which is a nice upgrade compared to many other tents. Attaching the rain fly is simple—just match the gold pins with the gold loops and stake it down. For windy conditions, you can also secure the handles with the provided ropes for extra stability. On my second trip, I slept through an all-night downpour and stayed completely dry. No leaks at all, though there was some condensation inside caused by it being warmer inside than outside. With everything zipped up, the interior is very dark—so much so that I didn’t even realize the sun had come up. Personally, I love this feature since I’m a light sleeper. The tent is tall enough to stand in comfortably, and the material and zippers feel high-quality. If you plan to use a cot, I’d recommend going with the larger size, as it can feel a bit tight inside. The only downsides: it only came with enough stakes for the tent itself, not for the rain fly or extra tie-downs. UPDATE, customer service quickly resolved my issue. Overall, a solid tent with quick setup, great durability, and excellent comfort. Happy camping!

After setting up my Space Acacia XL tent by myself I must admit that I am quite frustrated by some of the reviews stating the level of time and difficulty needed to set up. My first time set up took less than 5 minutes to pop out all of the sides, attach the 4 large doorway poles, secure the rainfly to the metal loops, and add the 4 small rainfly poles, including the time it took to unbuckle, unzip, and remove everything from the bag, without reading the instructions. I am by no means bragging but I could now do it in under 3 minutes which is exactly why I am frustrated. This tent sounded difficult to set up so I almost went with another great companies T-Hex hub tent, which is more expensive, but states from bag to base camp in under 90 seconds. I agree less than 90 seconds to pop out, but some of their models still require poles assembled for the roof while this one simply pops up. The other brand may be slightly faster in total, by about a minute simply because the XL door poles are placed on the inside of the tent. To me this extra 1 minute of time is well worth it since Space Acacia has two full sized doorways for the entrance and exit measuring about 68” tall from the ground and 32” wide. This other brands hub tent has a triangular doorway on the side which is easiest to enter and exit with your body completely sideways. Not to mention good luck getting your air mattress inside if it is already blown up unless you get their more expensive T-Hex or Plus hub tent version which does offer a larger entrance but still smaller triangular exits. I keep bringing up this other brand only because it is the only other tent out there that is even remotely comparable with pop out sides and it is still a top quality over-landing tent. For me the biggest reason to purchase this tent over the competition is because it is 4 season tent instead of 3. You will never camp in cold weather? No problem, how about wanting it to last for many years to come. The Weatherproof Oxford 300D material which is also flame-resistant is going to last much longer than every other tent out there offering 210 denier Oxford weave. I could not be more satisfied with this tent, the level of detail and comfort features added is unlike anything else on the Market. I cannot wait for the next-gen inflatable air floor to become available again for the Space Acacia XL. I honestly was not planning on purchasing the air floor since tent lifespans can vary so much, but I am confident that this tent will outlast anything I have owned prior. Gear Patrol Dot Com, I am particularly upset and disappointed by your testers review and I will never be relying on your website again for any future gear reviews. Your tester stated “I set up the Space Acacia by myself, but strongly suggest setting up with at least two people if you want it to take less than half an hour.” Gear Patrol Dot Com, I am not sure if it took your tester over 20 minutes just to read instructions or the tester has simply never been camping prior, but as someone who spends a lot of time camping, the entire set up of the Space Acacia XL took less than 5 minutes solo. I can only hope that it took your tester 30 minutes to set up because of the time needed to inflate the air floor. If this is the case then that should clearly be stated in the article. The time needed to inflate multiple air mattress’s or in this case an air floor is not the same as time spent setting up a tent. I almost purchased another companies tent based solely on your review, which would have cost Space Acacia a new loyal costumer and profit.

We took this out for its virgin camping trip. Kept us dry and stayed up in 40 mile per hour winds. TIP: Avoid bucking board crossing campground on the Flaming Gorge. If you ignore this friendly advice, be prepared for daily storms by 1pm. These storms average 30ish mph winds with gusts to 60.
