Instant Cabin Tents | Family Cabin Multi Room Pop Up Tents Car Camping | Included Storage Pockets for Camping Accessories

We originally bought this for our first ever family camping trip. We visited Ohio to view the Solar Eclipse, to witness totality! That was April 8th 2024. At the time our kids were 2 yrs, 8 yrs, 10 yrs. The entire family was able to sleep in the same tent, get dressed standing up, and store the randoms in the tent. That is space for 4 sleeping pads and a playpen. There was still room! We felt silly at first, we had pulled it out to test the set up before our trip. It was so huge! This is definitely for families or the glampers because it’s an easy set up, spacious, you feel a bit spoiled….but it is heavy. If you need to hike to campsite GET A WAGON! But well worth it. Our first camping trip my husband and I bickered about how heavy it was as we hiked it to our first campsite hahah. Since then….we’ve gone on many camping trips to the lakes, beaches, etc. This is a purchase that I’ll never regret. It’s 2026 and we are planning our family summer. My husband and I didn’t get to grow up camping, our families could not even afford that. I know most people say it’s a cheaper vacation but some families truly do not even get that much. We feel truly blessed and this was an investment in our family bond. If you are on the fence, new, spoil yourself a bit. Make those memories. It’s so much funnier to argue about the snoring and raccoons scuttling about. You’ll sleep like a baby and can take the top off to watch the stars. I can’t say what it’s like during heavy rain or intense wind but it has faired well during a gentle rainy day.

Just back from our first weekend outting with this tent. The tent is so large that there is a bit of a learning curve to get it setup especially without stepping on the fabric to reach the center hubs and such. But: I can have this tent setup by my self in 10 minutes, not including staking it. I can have it taken down and in the bag in 15 minutes. The ground vents are a real life saver and if you position the tent properly it will have a nice breeze coming in one side and out the other leaving you cool while you sleep. We actually got colder than expected both nights thanks to these vents - other tens just don't breathe as well. Do yourself a favor and buy some decent stakes, the ones that come with it work - but they're pretty cheap and bend easily in rocky dirt. The bag is generously sized and the tent fits in it easily. I do with the 2 straps they include to wrap/tie the bundle were more than just 2 rope things. Maybe something with buckles/clasps? I hate tying and untying knots and it bothers me more than it should - but it does get the job done. The rain fly is super easy to attach, but be careful popping off the connectors they've got a bit of spring to them and might smack you in the head - guess how I know? All in all I am very happy with the tent and plan to have many years of use out of it.

Just used for the first time this weekend. Had to set this tent up twice in the same day. Setup, tear down, and setup again due to having to move to a different camp sight because of rising river and no outlet. Glad I bought a tent that was so quick and easy to assemble. Takes a couple of people. We had our kids help and it was very quick and easy. Because this tent comes preassembled, it slightly heavier than others. Though the extra weight is worth the fast setup. It’s a solid tent. Great design and like how outside air comes in from underneath the tent when all windows are closed. We set up four twin sized air mattresses inside without issue. Perfect for a family of four who all want to sleep on separate air beds. Nice tall ceilings allow walking around inside without crouching down. I like how there is a feeder hole for an extension cord. That made running power for the air beds easy. There are plenty of built in pockets for personal items too. We all had our own. We hung a battery operated LED lantern from the supplied middle ceiling hook, which provided plenty of light. It rained the first night and this tent kept us all dry. No issues. I did buy quality tent stakes for extra strength though. I also used an 18’x10’ thick PVC waterproof tarp under the tent as well. I anchored that down first. Just like anything else, if setup properly, it’s a great tent. We look forward to our next trip. I fully recommend this tent.

I’m not joking when I say the wife and I had this set up in a minute and a half. Took a minute to get it laid out and 30 seconds or less to pop it up. So check off that ease of setup. Lots of design to move air through this tent which is great for those hot days. The whole top is mesh netting, also has 6 screen windows and the doors also have screen mesh for even more airflow, and both sides have a bottom screen vent that you stake out. The screen vent is the entire length of each side. It is dry! We didn’t get rain when we took this out the first time but I seen it on the forecast when we returned home, so I set it up in the yard. My idea was better to know when we are not in it rather than when we need it to stay dry. It was a good storm all afternoon and night with multiple downpours. The outside “door mats” do pool water which I could see being annoying. The inside of the tent however was 100% dry. No leaks or condensation. The rain is loud with this rain cover but it’s DRY. And this test was done without a footprint, so the flooring was built well for water. This is a big tent and will accommodate a large family. My advice is to make sure the poles are pulled out and staked so the wind isn’t pushing the walls in with slack. If anything changes, I will update this review. So far this tent has outperformed my past tents with the elements. OH!! And for freaking once! Finally a tent that fits back in the tent bag with plenty of space left!!! Say goodbye to the stress of making that tent fit back in. No more do overs!! The bag is well built and made to move around!!!

The best yet in every way. The 12 person is big, but it is just as easy to set up, and you will appreciate the extra space! We have been using these "instant tents" since they first came out about 20 years ago, and they are real game changers. Coleman had one, and then they upgraded it to a slightly better one. We used them both, but this CORE 12 person model is so much lighter, very stable through all kinds of weather, easy to erect ..... we are pleased in every way. I am 71 years old and i set it up by myself quite easily. Unlike the Colemans, it never leaks in one little drop. (My only request would be some kind of easy flappable velcroed door, but the current zipper design works just fine.)

This is an excellent tent. I am a disabled veteran and really gave it a test to see if I could build this by myself. Yes! I give it so far 5 Stars at how easy it goes up and comes down. Definitely in the 2-3 min up time. I like the color, the materials, the build quality and the Ease of use. You do need to be strong to carry this by yourself. It is bulky and heavy. I recommend 2 people to carry it. Its roomy and spacious inside. Air flow feels reel good. Not stuffy.

awesome tent! I didn't expect it to be so much more roomy than the 10 person but its really large on the interior. easily fits 2 queen air mattresses with lots of space in the middle. very easy set up and it has doors on both sides with 2 little dirt mats and awnings. love this tent!

This was my first time ever putting up a tent! It took me about 75 minutes! I have never put one up before! This was really simple & straight forward to do! Watch the videos if you get stuck. ( I’m writing about the 12 person tent. In green/gray). It’s nice looking! I ‘m a 50 something yo mom & Im 5’4 inches tall with no previous experience. So if I can do it anyone can. You do need to have some kind of reasonable strength tho. It took me longer to get the thing out of the shipping box! Lols.. Then there’s another box that says Core, then the zippered bag. Everything came nicely packed with foam padding to protect all the joints and points on the rods. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The tent I received has a footprint or floor that is already attached. It is not removable. All the zippers function perfectly. Just be careful on the bottom of the doors where the rain flap is so it doesn’t get caught. If you’re doing this by yourself follow the instructions to spread the tent out all the way on a flat surface. Then pull the elbows out and hold the last one as you move around to the other side to open the others. (It’s structured something like a mini fold up umbrella . ). Each elbow kind of locks into place if you’re doing it right. When you’ve got all the elbows up put the top rain shield on. Then extend & push each leg up to its full locking position. Alternate sides & anchor each point so the wind doesn’t take it. It’s a huge tent which can fit 2 queen size beds, or a blowup sofa a queen bed and a small table & chairs. I’ll lay a patio mat down to protect the floor & make it more cozy. I love that it has lots of windows with rain flaps that roll down & bottom air vents for cooler air to come in. BUt what’s awesome is that it has a door on each side. A double door & a single door. This tent will be a great addition to our 27 ft airstream & will serve its purpose for a hangout space with the teens & our two 75 lb dogs without getting eaten up by mosquitos. Great job Core! I love it!
