Great first 2 nights.

Easy setup, seems like good quality construction. Only reason it's not 5 stars in that one night of camping there was rain which caused some condensation in the tent that flows down to the pockets and drips on the floor below. Not a big issue going forward now that we know. We are sleeping in cots anyway but some gear got wet. On the bright side, no rain entered the tent. It got cold down to 34 F and we ran a mr heater big buddy. It took the chill off for sure.

Huge and quick to put up!

So easy to put up! Literally took a minute. Also, really big, but lots of activity space for our family inside. Poles seem really sturdy. Could totally have a tom Haverford set up, if that was your thing. Honestly could have gotten a smaller tent, but I guess I just got greedy. Our 3 year old and dogs loved hanging out in it. Plan on taking it camping this weekend. It is a little heavy packed up, kinda obvious, but if you’re a smaller person, you may need a buddy to help carry it.

The pockets became mini waterfalls

Upon first set up we were obsessed with this tent. Super easy set up and wildly spacious. I’m a fire performer so I need a lot of room for my props in my tent at festivals. It doesn’t hold up in rain well at all. Every hanging pocket was basically a water fall so we couldn’t keep anything in them and had to keep towels under them any time it would rain. Even after dealing with that, we still love this tent but for the price I was expecting better. We’re going to get tiny buckets to put under the pockets for now but will be looking for another tent.

10/10 Would Recommend

Our new favorite piece of equipment. Heavy, but worth it. Got it up with the rain fly in less than 5 minutes, which is priceless when you have an on-the-go toddler that hates to be contained! Love the rings throughout the tent for hanging lights. It lets in a tremendous amount of airflow, and it feels like I can use the WHOLE tent with the straight sidewalls. It's nice that the guylines can unclip from the rainfly if you're not using it and clip to the tent. And best of all, it's easy to get back into the bag without wrestling it like an alligator.

Flash flood and 60mph winds strong!

Best tent ever! Flash flood 2.5 feet deep and 60 mph winds at a camp ground with 60,000 people and all the core tents stood strong! Stayed dry even with the knee deep water!!! Way to go CORE!!

Very happy

The first time going up took a little longer than expected but i attribute that to bing the first time. It installed very easily and came down just as easy. Very spacious and exceeded expectations.

Great tent unless you open and close the doors

We bought our core tent two summers ago. We are a family of five with a dog and wanted enough space to fit all of us and our stuff with room to spare. We do a lot of rustic camping in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. We have been mostly happy with our purchase except for the door zippers.

North Dakotans give it a 5 star

This is the second tent that we have had. We love the eae of putting up and taking down and it accommodates our family of five plus a dog and all our extras quite well. Great tent!

This tent makes camping more fun

We bought this during Covid lockdown and our family has enjoyed using every summer since. It’s well made, well thought out details beautiful to be inside great ventilation and super easy to set up. How does this tent not have all five star reviews?!

Core Family

The Core Instant Tents are great!! We were not fans of the straight wall cabin tent(we had several issues and concerns). Don't hesitate to PURCHASE this one!! WE LOVE CORE EQUIPMENT!!

Used one night and 2 poles no longer work

The tent was great the 1st night, we put it away, went to use it last night , and 2 of the poles won't latch so it's useless. We purchased it less than 6 months ago.

3 Years strong and counting

I've been using this tent for three years now. When I first got it and did a test run in the front yard, I took it down incorrectly and broke one of the plastic pieces. I told Core that it was my fault and was willing to pay for the part, but they insisted in covering it under warranty. I haven't had an issue since. We use this tent about 5 times per year for camping trips. I set it up on my own, because my children are too young to help. I can put it up myself in around 5 minutes, I'm sure two people could do it in under two easily. Breaking down takes me about 3 minutes on my own. The tent still looks and functions like new, but if I ever need another tent, I'm definitely coming back to Core.

Withstood Thunderstorm and Torrential Rains

Set it up to test it out and figure out how to set it up before we actually went camping. Unexpected rains and thunderstorms rolled in and dumped 4" of rain in one afternoon! No significant water was in the tent after the rain stopped. The only water on the floor was from the door when I opened it after the storms. It is nice to know we are protected if it rains while we are camping. Multiple large windows and doors make it easy to get good air flow through the tent on hot days.

12 person instant tent/ wine color

Great tent. Easy to set up and take down. Alot of space inside. We put 2 inflatable queen beds inside and it still had room to spare. Great ventilation. I do recommend to always put a tarp down first so the tent floor doesn't rip. The flooring isnt very durable. Had my package delivered quick. Fast shipping. Thank you

We like it! Newbee’s

Held up in the wind and kept the bugs outside; while allowing us to enjoy the stars. Nice size for family.

SO glad I chose CORE!!!

CORE brand was recommended to me by a friend and I am SO impressed with how easy this was to set up!! On the spur of the moment, our grandson asked if he and 3 friends could come up to the cabin to visit and stay overnight. We were thrilled of course but also needed a place for 4 teenage boys to stay. A friend owns a CORE tent and recommended it. I searched for one large enough for all AND it had to be super easy for me to set up. This pop up worked perfectly for that! It arrived in 3 days (on the same day they were due to arrive) and I was able to figure the set up out myself! The tent is so roomy with more than adequate room for the boys, their gear, packs, etc. SO glad I went with CORE!!!

Huge, well ventilated, needs seams sealed

Leaked on 1st night of light steady rain for about 4 hours huge. I think I could park my Ford flex inside of it. It is very airy and not stuffy. The floor vents make for awesome airflow at night when windows are up. Just make sure to apply a seam sealer before you go out.

Broken center pole

I’m so very very disappointed, I unpacked my tent to find the center pole broken . Along with another pole twisted. As if it had been used . This is the worst by far . I was so excited to to have a core . This now ruins my camping trip for the forty of July weekend !!!!

Quality material, easy to setup

Quality material, easy to setup and huuuge. We stayed in it with a queen air mattress on one side and had enough room to do cartwheels all throughout the other side. And even though we were just on the one side, it stayed pretty warm in there. Which was awesome. We love the tent and look forward to using it as our family grows.

This tent was awesome

I purchased this tent for a first-time car-camping trip with the kids. The setup was very easy and intuitive and it took about 10 minutes to get everything setup (the kids helped!). It was a great size for the 6 of us. Plenty of room to move around, get changed, and just hangout and relax. I can't say enough positive things about it. It was perfect for our car-camping trip.
