ALPS Mountaineering Wilderness Tent - 4-Person, 3-Season

Tent is great for the price. If you're looking for a tent for family camping this is the one for you. Four adults sleeping in the tent would be a bit tight. However a couple with 2 or 3 kids would be fine. Well worth the price ![...]

We have owned and used this tent for 4-5 years. Mostly summer, but we've also done some spring/fall camping in it. For a lightweight, "cheap" tent, it has served us well. It has seen some pretty hard rain with little leakage. Guy lines on the corners and fly help with rain and wind. Treated with reasonable care, this tent should last for a number of seasons. My wife and I can erect the tent in five minutes or less. We're now shopping for a larger footprint and more vertical walls (e.g."Woodland" cabin tent from a Maine retailer). It's not the be all and end all, but this cheap little tent has still served us pretty well.

easy to set up, the floor layer kept dry through out the night, that was impressive. haven't tested in rain though.

The tent is roomy and comfortable; fly is too small for full rain protection and provided stakes are flimsy. Everything was OK,though, until wind picked up to about 15-20 mph - then it started folding in. Can't say this makes it practical if you need to rely on the tent and don't have an alternative.

Worked well for our car camping trip. Might be too heavy for backpacking. was tall enough to stand up and dress in which was a bonus.

Light weight and great for hiking and back packing

This tent was a breeze to set up--and it was nice and roomy inside. It's too heavy for backpacking or mountaineering--but for car camping--Perfect! While on vacation--during "normal" summer weather (i.e.--dry), it was great. Then it rained hard and steady for about 4 hours and it started leaking---at the entrance zipper. The fly does not extend out far enough to keep the rain from dripping at the bottom zippered area of the front entrance and it leaked --- A LOT! Also--on the back the same problem--water leaked in through the zippered area of the "window". Now---I still love the tent--these were severe freak storms--but if the rain fly had extended even another 6" on the front and back--I feel that this tent would have been perfect all the way around!

Very easy to set up. Stakes are a little flimsy, so you might want to invest in something a little heavier. Perfect for two, with room for pet, baggage, etc. Only complaint so far is the configuration of the door zipper. Have to start at bottom left and unzip all the way around. Would prefer a center line zipper. Have not used in heavy wind or rain, so no comment there. Good tent for the price.

I bought this as a gift for my adult daughter's birthday. She was disappointed from the get-go. The first night out it rained (not a deluge) and the tent leaked all-night-long, not just from the top, but from the flooring, even though the fly was set up properly and she used an extra tarp underneath as a ground covering. I sent it back for a refund and am looking for a better constructed, more sturdy and water-proof/water-resistant tent.

This tent is a good price, has plenty of room, but I would not buy this tent again, as it rains alot in the pacific northwest and sturdier tent poles are nice for car camping.
