Greatland 3-man Dome Review

"Yes, it's a cheap tent. But, it works fine in the summer. The problem is that the rain fly is absurdly inadequate. It only covers the very top of the tent, so there is no vestibule. But, if you use it as a "two-person” tent, you have plenty of room for gear inside with you. The tub floor is made of rip-stop plastic and is waterproof. So, you can stay dry, although I would hate to get caught in a bad storm. I found it to be a decent "two-person” summer tent."

"This tent has 6 walls, 4 off the walls are mesh though. The fly provided, covers the tents wall adequately, blocking all water and wind to enter the tent. There are two windows that can zip shut. The tent is roomy compared my other 10’ x 7’ tent. That might have something to do with the shape of the tents. Since this what I call an “open” tent due to the 4 mesh walls, it tends to get a little chilly inside the tent, but I like colder temperatures so suites me just fine. This tent is best for camping during the summer months.

Recently my two nephews came to visit the family. I got them interested in camping out in the backyard, but I didn’t want use my good tent in case of it damaged. So I ran to the local discount store and bought an Eagle’s Camp 7’x7’ dome tent to use. Well the first night it poured and when I woke up the next morning, there was a puddle of water by the door of the tent leaving my sleeping bag soaked, but they enjoyed it so much that they wanted to camp out all week long. I ran to target and picked up this Greatland dome tent to replace the cheap one I bought. When I got home, I figure I would let my nephews setup up the tent. I can tell you the fiberglass tent poles are strong because half way through the process of putting up the tent, they decided to play ninjas with the poles and started hitting each other with them. Eventually they finished putting up tent. One boy is 12 and other boy is 5 and neither one had trouble understanding how to put it up. That night was rainy and windy, but the tent held up great. No puddles of water in the tent! Rest of the week we slept comfortably in the tent without any failures in the tent. It did what it was suppose to do."
