11-Person Family Camping Tent with Roomy Interior and Spacious Design

Maggie: Wanted a tent with screened in "porch" with a floor in case I needed extra sleeping room or storage during rain. I didn't have a lot of rain when I used it so I can't speak to that. We had one queen sized mattress and two people who prefer a pallet on the ground. As with any tent, I divide the number of people the tent sleeps by two to get a more accurate idea. Four slept comfortably in main sleeping portion and two more could easily sleep on "porch" if wanted (or great place to keep your dogs out of the rain overnight. Porch windows zip up which is nice for changing clothes or keeping camp gear dry if using for storage. Fairly easy set up and tear down but definitely a two person job. It's a great addition to my family camping gear.

Amazon Customer: I have gone camping with this tent 3 times since purchase. My last trip a windstorm came through where we were camping on the 2nd night, wind was a sustained 20 knots and gusts up to 45 knots, rain, cold and then miserable the next day. My tent was in good shape the next morning while several other tents collapsed during the storm. The only damage my tent suffered was one of the shock cords broke when tearing down the tent due to the storm. The poles were fine. My tent stayed dry even with a pool of water underneath it. I am very happy with this tent and hope to get many years of use out of it.

Shawn R.: Honestly, it’s a pretty great tent. My wife and I do struggle sometimes getting the supports locked in, but I’m usually strong enough to get it in there with some elbow grease. It is WAY easier with two people (I imagine even more so with more people but we’ve only ever used two to set it up) and even our two dogs do well in it. It’s spacious enough to fit a large air mattress and still walk around and my tall wife can stand up straight in most of it. Also love the “porch” area. We use it for storage when we camp to have a separate space from sleeping but also enclosed/covered but easily accessible while hanging out without showing off the sleeping area. I DO WISH the access for the external power was on both sides as some campsites we go to we orient in a way the power isn’t on the same side but we have long cords so we get by.

It does sweat, condensate inside depending on weather. And the fabric is like all tent’s, not 100% water proof to the touch. But we don’t have any leaks.

Nichole SchultzNichole Schultz: Let me just start by saying..
This was the best tent purchase my husband and I have made. We tent camp many times every year, and decided this year we wanted a new tent.
We did our fair share of research on best tents.. We came across this Core 11 person with screened in porch...
We are currently on our way home from a 10 day camping trip in the U.P. of Michigan on Lake Superior. We experienced rain, wind, warm days & chilly nights.
The rain did pool a little on the floor from under the tent, with just a tarp under the floor. But, nothing came in on the sides, like with our last tent. Luckily, we had foam boards, that after the 1st rain we put under the floor, which stopped all puddling. The tent held up well, to the 15-20 mph winds off Superior. Although, it would be nice if the side vents had a way to close.
My husband is 6'4, and was able to stand completely upright, in the main room, which was great, had to bend a little bit in the screened in area. It was extremely nice to be able to sit in the screened area to get away from the bugs. The tent in general is very spacious.
Entering and exiting the tent made you feel like you were being birthed again,...

BethBeth: Love our tent. It’s huge. Not too bad to put up
Considering it’s size. Durable, roomy, and good
Looking.
Only complaint I have is that it takes 2 hands to unzip the outside door. Makes it difficult when you have your hands full.
I purchased a second Core tent for the kids now as well.

Edited review: two years later (6 camping trips total) I am looking for a new tent. The zipper on the outside screen door gets stuck constantly. And it pretty much broke this last time we used it. Not sure how long a tent is supposed to last as this is my first tent purchase.
