[ This tent is a great, light weight and affordable tent. The high bathtub style floor kept splashing rain out while I was dry all night. The tent is decently light, packs down small and sets up super quick and easily. The only reason I did n't give it 5 stars was because of the rain fly, the ventilation is only ok and I did have some condensation build up on muggy nights.

[ We got this tent and it was to cold to go outside. So we set it up in the basement. We ’ ve slept in it for 3 nights straight. We can ’ t wait for the summer to come and take it camping! Set up was super simple that my 10- year- old almost did it all by himself there is plenty of room and the durability is awesome. It looks like it should withstand the weather and rain.

[ Our newly designed ball- and- socket system allows for easy tent setup and takedown, providing a quick and secure structure every time. A lower air intake vent draws in cool air from the ground while the mesh ceiling allows hot air to escape.

Bought this to replace my old, worn out tent. Could n't be happier. Setup is super easy. Took me about 5 minutes, by myself. Ball and socket system is almost cheating. Plenty of ventilation. Air intake is a nice addition, as well, pulling cool air in from the ground. First time out and got some rain. Rainfly did it's job, as did the seams. Not a drop off water in the tent. Decently light with enough room.

This is our first tent in many years and we love it! Setting it up was a breeze( compared to my memories of tents years ago) and tearing it down was even faster! We are a big family( 7 of us) and there is plenty of room. I 'm so excited to use it for a trip once the weather cools down.

We have been living in this tent for 1 1/2 years in Costa Rica. It is protected under a roof shelter but has weathered many a storm. Zippers work great and keeps the bugs at bay. We are ordering another one just like it.

After researching tents for about two years( seriously! I read reviews on everything out there), I finally decided on this one and so far I could n't be happier with my purchase. I just returned from camping in this tent with two other adults for four nights. We all agreed that it's just the right size for four unrelated adults with all their gear( i. e. friends who would prefer not to sleep 6 inches from each other's faces); for the three of us, it was luxuriously spacious. I sprayed the tent and rainfly with waterproofing prior to the trip. We experienced two heavy thunderstorms and the tent did n't leak a single drop and the overhang of the rainfly even enabled us to keep the windows cracked. While it's not a bathtub- style floor, the seams are double- sewn in a way that makes leaks where the floor meets the wall nearly impossible. We appreciated the spacious gear pouches along the walls; the gear loft overhead is too high in the air to be able to easily reach to put gear up there( the center height of this tent is about 86 ''!) but the lantern hook is great. There are other thoughtful touches in the tent's design, as well, including air vents along the floor and fabric that covers the door zipper to prevent rain leaks. The significant number of windows ensured a well- ventilated tent that was bearable even when getting pummeled with midday direct sun. Set- up takes about 45 minutes; it's not hard but there are a number of steps. I think it will get a little faster as I get more familiar with the tent. I definitely would n't be able to set this tent up alone. All in all, it's comfortable, well made, and kept me dry.

You definitely need two people to set this up, but it is very easy to do. Has plenty of head room. I do n't need the divider but it is nice to have a second entrance/exit. Great having two stake down points under each doorway too.

[ I hate setting tents up and taking them down, but this tent has an easy setup and take down method. It has inside and outdoor lights, you just need a battery for the inside lights. The tent comes with a bag that fits it all inside and it has handles so it's easy to carry. The tent has no issues if it rains. This tent is perfect if you have a baby or toddler, so they can still have their own area to play and sleep or it can fit up to 10 people.

[ The CORE Equipment 10- Person Lighted Pyramid Tent is hands- down one of the best tents I ’ ve ever used! From setup to takedown, this tent is all about convenience, comfort, and smart design. First off, it ’s incredibly spacious. We had plenty of room for our air mattresses, gear, and still space to move around comfortably — no crowding or tripping over stuff. The pyramid shape gives it great headroom and makes it feel even bigger inside. The built- in LED lighting system is a total game- changer. No more fumbling for lanterns or flashlights — it creates a warm, ambient glow that makes nighttime in the tent feel cozy and functional. Perfect for getting ready for bed, reading, or just relaxing after a long day outdoors. Setup was surprisingly easy for a tent this size. The instructions were clear, and everything felt durable and well- constructed. Plus, the ventilation is excellent. Even with multiple people inside, it never felt stuffy, and the airflow kept everything fresh. If you ’ re a family, a group of friends, or just someone who likes a little extra space while camping, this tent is 100% worth it. Durable, well- designed, and packed with thoughtful features — CORE nailed it with this one!

Very comfy as a 1p tent though( reason I bought it). ... Nice tent, cool and cozy color! ... I use a 2 person tent for just me as I like the extra space and so it's one of my weight
5
I 'd been wanting this tent for a while. I also have a Tiger Wall, that I adore, but the Copper Spur material us a bit less delicate and the ability to set it up with my poles and under the rainfly really does make a difference. The pole option helps with the weight and my first trek out with it I got trapped in a torrential downpour and appreciated the ability to do the rainfly, first so the tent did n't get wet at all. I use a 2 person tent for just me as I like the extra space and so it's one of my weight compromises. You do n't need to, but I keep my pack with me( I hang food and all smelly things, but keep my pack) because I use it to prop up my legs at night as I have lower back issues. The extra size is helpful so I can move the pack around when I 'm in it without sleeping. One thing that seems silly but makes a huge difference, for me, is the color. I dislike waking up in green or blue tents because of the light. The red and yellow of the Tigerwall and Copper Spur mimic, more, the color of the sun and so I wake up feeling warmer and more refreshed.

Nice tent, cool and cozy color! It does n't get dark inside the tent when camping near other tents with lights. Though set up and packing is easy and fast. When the tent is wet it dries fast, that's nice too. Material feels breakable, but it's can handel a lot! Cords could be more visible in daytime, tripped a couple of time due to clumsiness:). Would not recommend sleeping with 2 persons( im 170cm 68kg female, another me would be too tight and no room for two- person backpaking gear to keep dry in rain. Very comfy as a 1p tent though( reason I bought it).

Max Planck
The 2 person variant of this tent is perfect for backpacking trips with your dog. The tent has a tapered foot box, so fitting two people in it will require some coordination with sleeping pads, I prefer to keep my pack inside the tent, and there was plenty of room for my sleep system, my dog's sleeping bag, plus my pack/gear. It even kept us dry in a surprise snow storm at elevation. I 've also woken up to a soggy rain fly during foggy alpine evenings where the day/night temps vary a lot but the interior has always stayed dry. The footprint is sold separately and is a must have( or make your own). Easy to set up and guy out, good ventilation, roomy and lots of storage.

Ghlatta3
Comfortable ultralight that's an easy set up. I like the color- coded poles, tent and fly. The fly zipper tends to stick and/or catch, but not a deal breaker. I did tear the tent bag going through tamarisk fields and Big Agnes was kind enough to replace it for me. Great support! Thanks!

Sierra
I have owned a Copper Spur UL2 for 9 years now and used it on multiple backpacking trips each summer in the mountains of Colorado. My husband and I find it to be very easy to set up, durable, and lightweight. A couple years ago we noticed some minor wear to the tent and had it repaired by Big Agnes. We thought we might lighten our load a little and try out the Fly Creek but found it did not have high enough sides to protect us from the sudden rain and hail storms at high elevation. We are still using our original Copper Spur to this day and are very happy! I see there are some newer updates to the tent like increased storage inside and the option to convert the vestibule into an awning. I think anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors would be well served by this tent.

Denise R.
We 've used this tent a few times and really like it. This weekend we had a heavy rain for about 8 hrs and the only leak was where the electric cord came in through the port... very little water. The only thing that could be improved with this tent is putting it back in the bag... it's a bit difficult. Also note when it's packed up it's very long and may not be able to be fit in a car. We have a Ford Escape and had to put the seat down to fit it in.

The Reluctant Camper
We have used this tent for a couple of years now and still love it. Once we got the hang of it, set up was much easier. We place a tarp underneath to protect the floor, as well as some plastic sheeting on top of the flooring. I think this will increase the life of the flooring. We 've weathered some big storms and have remained leak proof. We are able to fit 3 cots in the main area, and two slim twin sized blow up mattresses in the bed of our van, thus we can sleep 5 fairly comfortably. This was an excellent start- up tent for new campers.

Set up& tear down are simple& intuitive and take only about 20 min. if you take your time. The tent itself is very spacious and easy to connect to the vehicle. It fits our vintage station wagon very nicely. Quality of workmanship and materials appears to be a little better than average, but not rugged. After unfolding the tent the second time we did notice some marring on one of the screens, apparently from the plastic pole sockets. Be sure to use the protective bags that go over these hard plastic pieces before folding for storage. Also while folding, I reached for a corner on the screen room& got only the tarp- like edging that borders the bottom seam& it tore away at the edge a little. Again, not really the fault of the manufacturer, just another area where you need to be carful when setting up& tearing down. To sum up, it is a great product, well designed and easy to use, but its not fool proof.

This tent is a beautiful color and incredibly easy to set up( even on one ’s own). Thee little storage shelf is great, and the interior side pockets are very helpful. In addition, the little brim in the front helps keep rain out of the entryway and offers a little bit of shade. I love that you can make the tent as open/breezy as you want. We used this indoors for a movie night. While it took up a ton of room, the kids had a blast being in it!

[ As first time campers, when my partner and I first saw how compact and light the package was, we were skeptical of whether it would be large enough. However after setting it up- which was super easy- it was as roomy as you need it to be. The hardest part was putting it back into the bag as neatly as it came. However if you are impatient like my partner and prefer to just stuff it in, it still works, which is great! It is a three person tent, but is a tiny bit cramped imo, for two people however, it ’s perfect with some spare space. As a two person tent I ’ d rate it 5. As a three person, only for size I ’ m rating it 4.

[ Camping in the backyard is a vibe! Reading your favorite book while chilling in the tent is fun. My daughter had a fun experience! Outside of that, the Ampex tent is very durable and easy to put together.

2TimeBuyer
I really appreciate the incremental design improvements over the previous version, that make a real difference, especially with rain resistance: 1. Longer rain fly, now reaching close to the ground 2. Staking loops and stakes for all 3 rain fly midpoints, so you can maintain separation between the rain fly and the tent 3. Velcro rainfly vent 4. Two tentpole grommets at each corner, so you can use the far one for raising the tent, and tighten the tent up with the close one later. 5. Two interior mesh pockets instead of one 6. Tapered closed tentpole ends, so that they slide through more easily, and do n't clog up with dirt 7. Expandable bag, which makes the tent easier to pack up quickly The only issues with the tent are inherent in the design and materials, but still pretty good for this price and weight: 1. No full rainfly over the front door, so you may want to put a tarp over the front if you expect heavy rain 2. Rainfly does not go all the way to the ground, but it should still give very good rain resistance if you stake it out well 3. The tentpoles slide through instead of clipping to the tent, which makes it a little more tedious to set up, but not a big deal after you 've done it a few times. 4. The fiberglass tentpole may break after a few years, at the stress point where the fiberglass meets the metal segment end, but if that happens, you can easily fix it with some duct tape.

We have camped for 25 years, starting with a green canvas Coleman cabin tent aka the green monster sweatbox, and stayed with their products for most of that time. Then we were given a great cabin tent with an entry way, or foyer, as my daughter- in- law called it, and it was a nice tent. The setup was a bit of a challenge, but the entry way seperate from actual living space was awesome. Then a pole broke, a few wear holes appeared and it was time to go. This new Core cabin tent is the best upgrade, as the entry way has privacy panels to allow for extra sleeping space or to be inside when it's bad weather. And the cabin space is enough for a queen size air mattress, two small tables and our gear with plenty of floor space to move around. The set up, once we did it once at home, took less than fifteen minutes from bag to finish. Looking forward to many more fun trips with this tent. Customer service is awesome as well, we ordered a screen house, although functional, had stains from shipping or production, and they have replaced it at no cost. More products from Core will be part of our gear supply!

Jason D.
I bought this tent for me& my wife after her saying she wanted more room. This tent is awesome, the screen served to hold all of our stuff,& the bedroom section easily held 2 queen sized mattresses with plenty og room to spare. Ventilation is excellent,& the tent set up in about 15 minutes doing it the first time( Taking time to read the instructions). One night a storm front rolled in& dropped about 2 '' of rain in 12hrs on us, a real torrential downpour. Not one drop of water inside the tent, I was actually shocked by this seeing how much& how hard it was raining. Hats off to CORE for their build quality& tent layout. Only thing I wish they made, was a fitted footprint for it as I had to use a tarp instead. But overall, I 'm very happy with this tent.

Bobbylynn W.
We bought this tent from your website and it is very nice so far. we set it up in the back yard once to get familiar with the tent and the setup steps. good thing we did, when we went camping the following weekend, the incoming storm looked strong. We put the tent up fast since we had done it once already, as I was setting the guy lines the hail started I only got 4 set before the hail was too large... pea sized to begin with the storm raged for well over 45 minutes, the hail grew to BASEBALL sized! we stood in the corners to help hold it down to the wind... we could see the hail pummeling the tents rain fly. After the hail finally stopped we dealt with the flash flooding. The damage to the tent was a 1- 2 inch tear in the rain fly on the right side. So is it possible to buy a replacement rain fly if needed? also one of the grey fiberglass poles does not hold tight together, its like the internal elastic cord is too long? other than that the tent is great, we love the screen room aspect and the way the windows open for venting, and our dog loves the ground level air intakes to keep cool. If you would like pictures we have pictures of the the tent up after the storm as well as the hail and the total aftermath. overall the tent is very strong, easy to set up, and good for us.

[ Took this on a two night backpacking trip in the Rockies and the extra space from the gear wings was the envy of everyone in our camp. Definitely got called the Vienna Sausage tent a lot, but if it's functional, who cares what color it is. Makes it easier to spot your camp. Got rained on plenty and this thing stayed dry-- that's probably the most important part. Set up was all color- coded so super easy. Clips in like other backpacking tents. My only gripe is the door. The fly only has a vertical zipper to access the door and the bubble of the D is on the other side. So you really have to reach around to open it and I felt like I was always battling the tent to get in( my partner did not hate this as much as I did). I 'm sure it's not the lightest tent on the market but weight was n't a huge concern on our trip and I really appreciated the extra space to keep our packs inside the tent. The ol Vienna Sausage tent will be continue to be our backpacking go- to. Its flaws can be overlooked for the convenience of extra space.

[ First off, this tent is just beautiful. The colors are as vibrant as they are online. This tent is perfect for car camping and 2 people( especially if you have a dog or a small child). It is a great tent, super easy to set up and tear down. Can stand on its own and comes with a footprint which is an added bonus.

[ I travelled alone on a road trip for a couple weeks. On the road trip I was setting up and tearing down the Limelight 2 by myself on a daily basis. Compared to many other tents I have used it was a breeze and I could set it up and tear down in only a few minutes.
5
Pete T
For the price, the Limelight is a solid performer. It's the style and size that the majority of outdoor folks will at some point. It also wo n't break the bank. While ultralight tents shine for the fast packers and the weight conscious, the price for weight savings is a non linear formula. In other words you 'll pay a lot more for a lot less when it comes to shaving ounces. I 've used the lImelight in all its configurations over the years. Mine has been to Mexico, the Andes, and all over the US. It's a good three season performer and works even in the odd snowstorm. It's light enough to travel well and carry( if load is shared between two people).

The tent easily fit inside my 45L pack. The tent packs up into its packaging with ease. Absolutely no struggle trying to roll up the tent and place in carry sack.

I was looking for a new lightweight tent with room. After much research I settled on the Nemo Dagger 2P. The new fly material of the OSMO was of interest. As always, I just dove in and started setting up. The basic tent setup was very quick and intuitive. The fly took me a few minutes, but once I caught on that the hook ups are color codes it was a snap. The new material is interesting. Very light and almost feels like some type of paper. Even though it is thin, I did put some stress on it trying to put the fly on wrong the first time with poles poking it, but not a mark. I also did some tugging and it appears to be tough. I have n't been out in the rain yet so I ran a garden hose on it for about 15 minutes. While I did n't stake it out very well I did n't not any sagging and the water for the most part ran off. Not a great test, but something. It also dried very quickly compared to my old rain fly. Very impressed so far and cant wait to see how if hold ups over the season.

Bought the Dagger 2P with Osmo fabric this spring and due to injuries just used it for the first time, car- camping at the Oregon coast. Set- up took about five minutes single- handed with my left( non- dominant) arm in a sling. Plenty of space inside for two, no issues with condensation even though it's very humid year- round at the coast. The zippers and tie- backs are so easy to operate with one hand, I love that. The Osmo fabric dries quickly. I 'm looking forward to backpacking with this tent!

First tent purchase in 8 years so I put in a lot of research. The Dagger Osmo is the best 3 person option out there for my needs. Great weight and tons of livability. I was pretty surprised by the ventilation and no condensation on the first use. The poles and stakes are both high quality and I plan to take this shelter on a lot of trips!

Very spacious and lightweight tent. Plenty of room for two wide sleeping pads with room to spare for extra gear. It ’s been great on backpacking trips as well as car camping trips.

I really love how strong this tent is considering it's a semi- standing ultralight tent. ... The Hornet Elite material is very light, so proper care will be important, but if you take care of your gear it should not present any

I bought this tent for the JMT since my old tent had gotten messed up on a trip like 2 weeks before starting. I had originally just had the old version of the Nemo hornet and loved it, but needed a new tent. I wasn ’ t planning on getting the elite but it was the only one available last minute. But I ’ m so so glad I did! It was so light and insanely easy to set up. Everything that wasn ’ t my favorite about my old tent was fixed on this one! It only has one fly bar instead of two, these little things to be able to roll up your rainfly and mesh door and secure it, and the little tabs to click in your tent poles are a lot nicer now instead of the old plastic ones. I also really love how much netting there is. The only thing I didn ’ t like was I missed the black netting top to see the stars easier, and when I got my tent the mesh had come with a few pulls that slowly started to spread. I fixed it by getting clear duct tape and putting it on both sides of the pull and it hasn ’ t had any issues since! It was just annoying that it came with that. It ended up thunder storming during my trip and it was nonstop pouring rain( and wind) all night and my tent held up great! I didn ’ t get wet or condensation. I never had to readjust the guylines or stakes or anything. It was perfect! I also never got condensation, and had a lot of windy nights with no issues. Overall a great tent and I ’ m really glad I ended up getting it, especially since it ’s so light! Side note, I used it as one person for the 2p and would definitely not recommend 2p in it. Like I ’ m 5 ’ 3 and just having my backpack in there with me took up so much space. I couldn ’ t imagine another person in there long term. Overall a great tent and would definitely recommend.

I was using the Nemo Aurora 2p tent, but it was just too heavy. So, I upgraded to the Hornet Elite 1p tent. This is a small tent, too small to keep your pack inside if you are using a 25- inch pad. I knew this prior to buying and have no problem with it. The vestibule is big enough for my pack and shoes. Weight was an important factor in this purchase, so I am very happy with this tent. I recently took this on a hike in upstate Pa and this tent performs well in rain and wind. There were 20 mph winds all night and I had no problems. It rained almost all night, and the bathtub was as dry as could be. I had zero condensation issues and the outside of tent dried quickly after the rain stopped. My gear stayed dry in the vestibule also. Set up was as easy as could be and this tent packs down small if you keep the tent poles separate in the allotted bag. I would definitely recommend this tent to anyone looking to save weight or are looking to purchase a semi freestanding tent that is durable. Thank you, Nemo!

I used the Hornet Elite tent for a week in the mountains with strong winds and freezing temperatures. I really love how strong this tent is considering it's a semi- standing ultralight tent. The setup is quick, easy, and intuitive. The OSMO technology is a real game changer when it comes to rainy situations – the tent remains waterproof for longer even when the rain comes down with a lot of pressure on the fabric. It's the best tent addition to your ultralight backpacking kit!

I LOVE this tent!! I ’ ve used a 1P, single- wall, non- freestanding tent for many years. I finally decided to suck it up and get a bigger tent. I wanted a 2P, double- wall, semi- freestanding tent that wouldn ’ t be too much heavier than the tiny tent I ’ m used to. There are so many options out there, but I am truly satisfied with the fact that I picked the best one that fits those specs! What makes this tent stand out from the competition is truly in the small details. The osmo material provides SO much more water repellency than I ’ ve ever experienced. The headlamp pocket in the top of the tent that acts as a lantern is amazing. The side pockets are roomy. The extra little piece of paracord+ clip on each vestibule adds more livable room. The smaller vestibule square footage means that this tent can fit pretty much anywhere you want to pitch it. It holds up extremely well in the wind, and the perfect pitch is SO easy! The tent itself also packs down suuuper small. Long story short, I can not recommend this tent enough if you are an ultralight backpacker looking for a little bit of luxury with your shelter.

I had a Nemo Hornet 2P purchased 4 years ago. On a 100 mile backpack, water unexpectedly came up through the floor. I sent in a picture, and my tent was replaced! Outstanding customer experience.

After researching ultralight tension tents I settled on this tent and am super happy with my decision. My last Hornet 1 person I have had for 7 years and it still works great. The new OSMO fabric is awesome and super light. The tent poles are maybe 12 '' long, perfect for bike packing or tucking in the side pocket of your backpack. The inside would be snug for 2 people but totally doable as you each have your own door and vestibules. Awesome small details that have been upgrades since my previous tent. Excited to see where I sleep the next 7 years with this one!

I have the 3p tent and it's amazing. Nemo thought about it all when it came to this tent! It rained for 3 days and this tent stayed dry. Nemo knocked it out of the park with this tent! Also, super light

I ’ ve used this tent for a few trips since picking it up late last summer. I have the older version of the 1p Hornet but I really wanted to try the 2p out so I ’ d have a little more room. Unless you ’ re super concerned about a few ounces, the 2p is the way to go even for solo trips. You could squeeze another adult in there with you but using it solo provides just enough extra room to be really comfy. The new rectangular shaped stuff sack and extra joints in the supports really help in packing this thing up as well. I used to lash the poles from my original 1p to the outside of my pack but the new version packs up so small I can fit it inside my pack. I really like having everything in my pack, especially hunting, so that was a really nice surprise when I got the new version. It ’s a great tent and I couldn ’ t recommend it more!

This is not a problem unique to Nemo, where 1 person UL tents are coffins, 2 person tents are great for one person, and the 3 person are good for two people, but have a large footprint. I also get that this is the lightest tent in the lineup, but the inside dimensions of the Dragonfly are n't really any different! So, if you are looking for a comfortable one- person tent and do n't mind an extra few ounces in your pack in exchange for sleeping well, this tent is hard to beat. It's one of the lightest and best- designed semi- freestanding tents I 've ever seen and used. It's awesome. I took it on an overnight with some experienced and fit hikers, and not only did we all get to camp at the same time, but I was set up and relaxing while they were still fiddling with their trekking pole tarps. So I highly recommend this tent to anyone who is not trying to go into what I call `` stupid light '' territory. However, my fleet now consists of the Hornet 1( for keeping up with thru hikers and pitching with a smaller footprint) and a Dragonfly 3 for slackpacking with my spouse. My next hope is that Nemo comes out with a true 2- person UL tent that can fit two 25x78 '' pads without a ton of extra space, something like the Dagger, but comparable in weight to the Hornet 3. Maybe it's in the works!
Traditional tents offer a reliable shelter option for camping, providing protection from the elements while allowing for ventilation. They are typically lightweight and portable, making them easy to transport to various camping locations. Additionally, many traditional tents are designed for quick setup, allowing campers to establish their base camp swiftly.
Traditional tents are often made from durable materials such as polyester or nylon, which are lightweight and resistant to water. The tent poles are usually constructed from aluminum or fiberglass, providing stability and support. Many tents also feature weather-resistant coatings to enhance durability and protect against rain and wind.
When selecting a traditional tent, consider the number of people who will be using it and the amount of gear you need to store inside. Tents are typically rated for a specific number of occupants, but it's wise to choose a larger size if you want extra space for comfort or additional gear. Additionally, think about the intended use, such as family camping or solo trips, as this can influence your size choice.
Traditional tents come in various styles, including dome, cabin, and tunnel designs, each suited for different camping experiences. Dome tents are popular for their aerodynamic shape and ease of setup, while cabin tents offer more vertical space and comfort for family camping. Tunnel tents are great for larger groups and provide ample living space, making them ideal for extended trips.
Seasonal conditions play a crucial role in selecting a traditional tent. For summer camping, lightweight and well-ventilated tents are ideal to keep cool. In contrast, winter camping requires tents designed for cold weather, featuring better insulation and sturdier structures to withstand snow and wind. Always consider the weather patterns of your camping location when choosing a tent.
When looking for a traditional tent, consider features that enhance comfort, such as ample headroom, multiple entrances for easy access, and built-in storage pockets for organization. Additionally, look for tents with good ventilation options to reduce condensation and improve airflow. Some tents also come with rainflies or vestibules for extra protection and storage space outside the sleeping area.
