Stansport Camping Tent

I've owned this tent a little over 2 years now and use it about once a month. The tent feels thin and flimsy but it's held up for me. One needs to have reasonable expectations about performance at this price point. Condensation can be an issue when the tent is all buttoned up. In addition, the tent isn't 100% waterproof. There's some leakage at the seams. There is no seem tape. If this is important to you then buy some seam sealer. I've ridden out a few North Texas thunderstorms in this tent. Some water did get in but I was mostly dry. The tent survived the high winds fine, but the non door small side faced the wind. If you know about NTX weather then you'll understand. When I first got the tent the zippers jammed constantly. Thankfully this is a super easy fix. The problem is caused by too much space between the top & bottom halves of the zipper pull. Squishing the back of the pull together slightly fixes the problem.

I purchased this tent for my eight-year-old son for his birthday and we've used it once for a night of camping. The tent appears to be very durable and is also easy to setup. My son had set it up in roughly 10 minutes by himself. I can see that we'll get a lot of use out of this tent for some time to come, however, the tent does have one big drawback; it has a screen on the door of it, but no other screen in the tent to allow for air flow. All through the night the inside walls of the tent were soaked with moisture and it was simply stifling. Granted, it was hot that night, but there was a steady breeze outside the tent. Inside the tent was simply unbearable without better ventilation. We'll use the tent again, but it will surely be closer to late fall or early spring instead.

Edit: 08/13/16 After using for about a dozen overnight camps since my purchase May 2015, this tent leaks badly even in a light shower right through the walls I could see a fine mist coming through landing on my belongings. It is a light use, dry weather tent only at best with little to no airflow. I got what I paid for. a $22 tent.Finally used this tent a week ago and unfortunately during rainy weather on a Saturday night. While the tent is spacious for 1 with enough room for your gear inside, it would be snug with 2 adults, but doable and no gear inside so tarp it on the outside or dry-bag it. The color is a light olive drab and blended good enough in the foliage woods. I will tarp over the tent next time with my nylon marpat woodland digital tarp. The tent withstood mild wind bursts gusting 20mph and less and no sagging at all. It did leak rain approx. a full... say, 8 -10 oz cup of water on the tent floor and I am unsure from where it came in from...maybe the walls, maybe the screened roof, maybe the zippered area on the door, or maybe up from the floor thru the tarp bottom....who knows I was asleep surprisingly. The tent came with about 1 1/2" unstitched hole near the bottom left side about 5 inches from the zippered door where they missed sewing the green nylon to the black floor bottom. It is repairable and I can re-sew it properly as it was not torn fabric. My son's tent came in perfectly sewn and never leaked that night, so, go figure. The rainfly covering the screened roof is only adequate if it rains straight down on the tent so I recommend erecting another tarp as a lean-to or an A-frame tarp (draped over paracord) above this tent for better cover when rain is expected; however, the rainfly additional purpose may be to also keep the moonlight or sunlight from coming in to disturb sleep and blind you and provide interior shade. The weight of the tent with stakes & poles is especially nice to pack on my ruck and the additional weight was not so noticeable as I balanced the weight on/in my ruck evenly. While I can't give 5 stars on this tent, for the price it will be good for moderate to low usage and I can't complain too much for what I paid. For my purposes, this will be a decent back up tent, and I will look for another that could withstand heavy usage. I got what I paid for $21.99 which is equivalent to a night at the very low dollar motel except I know my bedding was clean although ground hard. Haha.....Cheers and thanks for reading, hope this helps you out a bit.

Have taken this camping several places. It was a good purchase.It's relatively small and lightweight (enough for one bedroll and luggage, or two bedrolls), and it assembles quickly. I haven't had problems assembling in the dark either.It does not have a second window mesh section in the back for ventilation, so if the tent heats up it can take a bit more effort to cool it down. This is a desirable feature in cooler environments, though.The bottom of the tent is a tarp, and it held against water very well in wet environments including mud.Handy mesh pockets inside and a loop in the top that I use to hang a little click-pull battery light. This way I can bop the top of the tent and turn the light on from outside, for easy execution of Zipper/ShoeRemoval/Ducking maneuvers.

Got two of these tents for spring break camping trip with son. Easy to put up, especially for son, for this is first year he had to setup the camp site. Plenty of room for myself in one tent, I am 5'11", and put large backpack, boots, and have other stuff laid out inside with me. Only complaint, which it is a summer tent, is it rained one morning and tent started letting water in. So if you buy remember it's a SUMMER tent, get the water proofing spray. All in all love room and space, and packs up small (got down to size of old metal green thermos, your grand dad's old coffee one lol).

Absolute garbage and no returns!!Since when can't an item be returned?EDITI did manage to get my money back on this.Even the bag it came in had the stihing falling apart.Its a shame this is a Canadian company i wanted to support with some nice camping stuff but being made cheaply in China its a fail.

Not good unless it’s for a kid in dry weather. I’m 5’9 and it rained and I got soaked. The base also ripped.Lots of room for improvement

This was a complete waste of money. I went camping with this tent and it did not offer any protection at all. It rained all weekend and there was puddles of water inside the tent and everything was soaked. The rain cover did absolutely nothing- it was a thin piece of fabric that offered no protection what so ever. The stitching was also terrible, there were so many holes in the tent that allowed the rain to get in. It was very small as well, and when you eventually pitch the tent it is not firm or strong. It's extremely flimsy and the poles do not stay in the ground, I've had problems with them constantly popping out.To all future buyers out there, do not waste your money on this garbage. I've included photos of what my tent looked like (brand new out of the box) as well as the massive puddle inside.

I will be using this tent for a weekend quad trip I am taking. I unpacked the tent and set it up in my yard to see how it would go together. I haven't set up many tents but this one certainly went together quickly and seemed to be functional. I will let everyone know when it's used on the trail...

Esperaba que la lona fuese un poco mas gruesa, me preocupó que con un poco de agua y esta empiece a entrar dentro de la tienda. La base de la tienda si es de un material muy grueso y duradero para que éste no se rompa por el tipo de terreno donde se ponga.
