GREAT tent! One suggestion.

Camped with this tent for 3 years - never an issue. Really hope they come up with a full rain fly and/or a fly that gives protection from rain when entering. We could tarp but that defeats the ease of using this great tent. Come on engineers and creative people - you can do this! I will be your first buyer!!!

Core customer service go way beyond other brands

I purchased a Core 9-P Instant Up and continued to have multiple issues with parts breaking. Core worked with me and sent me a replacement tent and it has been wonderful. I haven't had any issues with the tent at all. They made things right and I appreciate Alley helping me out with my issues.

Great tent for a small family!

Setup and takedown was even easier than I expected! The size is good, fits our queen inflatable on one side and pack-n-play on the other with the feeling of room separation. I am disappointed that this doesn’t come with a ground tarp included, the bottom of the tent got very dirty and damp from morning dew and it was a mess packing it up. Would have been much better with the ground tarp so I ordered it separately after this trip. I’m just bummed I had to order it separately.

Must have Tent

I bought this tent in late September. I tested it out in the back yard, and left it up for about 3 days while it rained. There was a little water that I believe came through the air intake, and stayed in that corner, but otherwise it was dry. Setup was about 2 minutes max. It is very stable, more so with the stakes. Just took it down today and the process was so easy. The carrying bag got two little tears while I was putting it in. I would highly recommend this tent, it is spacious, enough room for family camping, equipment, can stand up and walk around. By the way, the tent was bug free. I would highly recommend.

  • Hi So111, thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the tent poles. For safe setup and stability, it’s very important that the tent is properly staked and secured, even during initial backyard setup, as wind can place significant stress on the frame if the tent is not anchored. Additionally, CORE tents are backed by a 1-year limited warranty, and our team would be happy to review your situation and assist with available options. If you need assistance, please contact us at 1-888-775-5628 or help@coreequipment.com. Our normal business hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm CST. We’re here to help! Thanks again.

New tent - great quality!

Set up initially in front yard all day in the summer heat and sun. Quality is great, not a thread or seam out of place. Quick/instant set up was doable for 1-person. When staked down the bottom vents really create a great draft through the tent - nice feature. Zippers all quality and work great.

Hates rain

What’s the point of a tent that doesn’t keep the rain out….. seriously… why? Bad design for rainy weather, the rain filled up 2 inches while we were away from our camp site, it was fully set up with the rain fly and perfectly anchored with the rain fly on! Still… water everywhere.
