We’ve used this tent twice now and love it. It’s not an instant tent, but it’s very quick for my husband and I to set up together. We have a kid crawl inside to push the x-poles up so they arc up and not down and that helps. We’ve not had rain yet other than a light shower but that was fine. The generous packing bag makes putting it away easy. We are a family of six plus a dog and have a queen air bed and four twin air mattresses, a dog crate and timberidge (sorry Core, you don’t make one) camping storage organizer and there is enough space for it all. I love this cabin tent for the straight walls. My husband is 6’2” and can stand up. Plenty of windows for ventilation. Wish it came in a black out or with a rain fly add on that makes it black out. Highly recommend.

Large Enough To Be A Second Home, Some Issues
I have used this tent for multiple seasons and it has held up well. It is a great tent that easily feels like a second home. It goes up quickly once you have done it before and getting it packed back into the bag has never been an issue.
We have had some issues with a corner pole snapping during setup and rain pooling on the ends of the rainfly (only during heavy rain).
I would recommend getting the footprint.

Love This Tent!
This tent is amazing! We fit 3 queen size air mattresses and have plenty of space to spare with a family of 6. My 6'2" husband can easily stand in the tent. It sets up very easily and so quickly! The material is top quality, too!

Best Tent I’ve Ever Owned!
We are about 5 weeks into a summer long camping trip and this is our 2nd tent. An ozark trail tent started to fall apart the 2nd day! I purchased the Core cabin tent the same day and we’ve been using it the past 5 weeks. We have been through windstorms, thunderstorms, and severe heat….through it all our core tent has held up without a scratch or leaks! We bought a portable air conditioner and at night we literally have to turn it off it gets so cold! The windows are perfect and the extra back door is a huge plus! The straight walls create more space as you can put things against the wall. Inside we have two queen size air mattresses, two soft drawer dressers, and a three drawer shelf with out TV on top….still allowing plenty of walking room! The zippers are easy to use and zip together close to make it the inside bug proof. I can’t imagine I’d ever buy any tent other than Core in the future!

Favorite Tent Ever!
This cabin tent was well worth the investment! I was pleasantly surprised upon first set up with how easy it was to put together compared to some tents I have used in the past. Super simple setup, plus the instructions being sewn into the storage bag is a nice touch. And as mentioned in their instructions, definitely a two person job for certain parts though!
After attending a water wars weekend at my go to campsite, I can definitely say it held up well to some serious force, water, and even rocks.
The velcro on the tent door flaps was super helpful when it came to keeping out little insect invaders and there was a life saving amount of ventilation options around the tent too! Lol.

Quick Setup/teardown, Great Quality
My girlfriend and I bought this for an upcoming camping trip in Salem and tested it out last weekend. Two middle-aged woman who do not frequent the gym set it up for the first time in 15 minutes in 100 degree weather. Instructions are easy to follow and once erected, the tent is sturdy. Love the straight wall design for when we need to seek shelter inside. A second one has been placed on our wishlist since we like it so much.

Best Tent Ever!
The best tent I've ever owned! Lots of room. I am 6'2" and can walk around the whole tent without a hunchback. Lots of airflow even whem the rainfly is on. Held up to rain without using a waterproofing product. It is easy to setup however is best with 2 people. Easy to enter and exit.

Fantastic Tent!
I have tried several cabin tents. By far this is the best. I'm near 70 yo small woman and was able to set it up in the dark in about an hour, by myself. It is extremely spacious, even w a proper single bed and small kitchen, bookcases and workbench installed. I put an 8' 2x4 in the center w a dome shaped 2' round metal top; this added structural stability for snow load and wind. I set up this tent in November and insulated it with the silver bubble insulation across the roof and on all four walls. I added a large heavy duty tarp (19' x 30') over the top which is tied down--with a bit of encouragement snow slides off the tarp easily. A single light inside is enough. I have an electric space heater that keeps the tent plenty warm.There are pallets beneath with half-inch plywood creating a platform that the tent sits on. I added wool rugs (sourced from goodwill)to the floor to help insulate from the cold. This tent has been up all winter in Maine, and has withstood two extreme wind events with hurricane force wind gusts, and sustained winds of 45+ miles an hour for 24 hours. It shook and rattled, but It has no damage whatsoever!The center pole definitely helped with that-- I think the wind could otherwise have broken the frame just by the downward force of some of the gusts.This tent is the size of a small cabin and a person can live in it quite easily or use it as a cozy retreat/studio. The only thing I would say to the manufacturers is that the gray interior would be better in a lighter color like white, just to brighten it up a bit inside. In all, I would give it a 10 out of 10. Lastly, this is a very affordable shelter!

Great Product!
My wife and I bought this tent about four years ago and we LOVE IT! We've did plenty camping and plenty video posting on our media sites. People love our setup and now they wanna go camping with us. we're tempted to buy another one just to get the nun campers to go. We got another camping trip coming up next month, and we plan to be the best looking campsite out there, thanks and good CORE product.

Weathers The Storms
Purchased mine 4 years ago and have used it primarily as a base camp for an annual 9 day trip to an airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Instead of 12, we have two campers but room for two more in the center section if any of our visitors needs to stay. It has withstood plenty of torrential rain and wind - some from tornado warned storms. Other tents around us have fallen but at most we have just had a few drops of wind blown water and outside chairs tossed around. Very spacious with two bedroom dividers leaving the center section as a computer table area with room for a couple of extra chairs if the outside awning doesn't protect us from rain. The camping site holds over 40,000 other campers during this incredible week and it is great to have such a nice base. Sure beats the high cost of hotels, Air B-N-B's or RV's and we are always getting great comments about our set-up. The CORE 12 person is the center of it all!

Fantastic Tent For Family Of Four Plus Friends
We're obsessed with this tent for camping with our family of four. We've camped in some SW Texas heat, cold, wind, and rain, and this tent is amazing at having enough space to make it easy to care for the kids and to have friends join us for camping or come over and hang out inside. We can set up with two queen mattresses and one twin mattress and still have room for tables and a bench inside the tent.
I was so grateful the tent didn't have a single leak anywhere despite camping through a windy storm. Obviously it's going to get hot in the tent if you set it up in the full sun in the summer, whether the rainfly is on or off. Ideally you have a shady spot or are outside doing things during the sunny days in 90+ degree heat.
I love that there are two different style doors. Depending on the temp and the weather, we might use a different door. The D-shaped door is probably easy for the kids. The doors do a great job of keeping the wind out, but the kids will rush and zip up the extra material in the zipper sometimes. I feel like the kids are the problem and not the door. ;-)
We have also borrowed the green 12 Person Instant Tent to camp in. That instant up is amazing. However, the walls are so much more slanted than the straight wall cabin that it feels and functions much smaller. If we were just camping with a family of 4 all the time, it would be fine, but it's nice for the kids to bring friends and I love having more indoor space for storage and moving around. This tent packs down much smaller for storage than the instant tent, so that's something to consider.
I have sewed some more paracord hanging loops for things inside the tent. I wish they could add more features like that during manufacturing, but that would make it more expensive. The two hanging pouches that come inside the tent are very handy.

Flawless???
It pains me to say, but I can’t find a flaw in this tent nor can I think of anywhere it can improve. It took our group of 3/4 people 10-15min to put up and take down & held up great in the rain.
We had slight pooling between the tent & tarp after the rain and there were no leaks.
If you’re debating getting this tent the answer is yes!

Great Tent!
Quality material. I bought this to replace our 10 person cabin tent and it being straight wall makes all the difference in space. It seems huge with just that one differnce

Excellent Summer Cabin
These tents are great for the cost and have become our oasis over the past 5 yrs. We use or tents from mid-June through the end of October and they hold up well to the constant UV exposure, wind, and weather. The overhang is not interchangeable with both doors as it was in last years model, so you don't get a choice where the overhang goes. The single doo is also more user friendly. The rainfly does keep the weather out, but it would be helpful if the drip-edge extended beyond the tent footprint. This is tent number 4 and we have not had any bottom rips, no broken zippers, and the poles held up very well. I would recommend upgrading to some plastic stakes for additional security in soft soils.
