How long does it take to set up?

The pre-attached instant frame lets most people pitch it in a few minutes and take it down nearly as fast. Staking out the guylines and rainfly adds a little time.

Can it handle rain and wind?

It has fully taped seams, a water-repellent ripstop shell and a silver-coated rainfly, and owners report staying dry in steady rain. The heavy-duty frame and tie-downs help in wind, but it is a three-season tent, not a winter or exposed-ridge shelter.

Is it good for backpacking?

No. The steel instant frame and packed size make it a car-camping tent. Backpackers should look at lighter pole-and-sleeve tents.

The 15 by 9 foot floor and two rooms sleep four to six depending on pad size, with standup height in the center. It works well for a family or two couples wanting separate spaces.

Does it come with a carry bag?

Yes, a carry bag is included, and the tent packs back into it with the frame folded. Expect a long, heavy bag that takes up trunk space.

The tent with its attached frame, the rainfly, stakes, guylines and a carry bag. Check the stake count before your first trip if you camp in wind.

About the Bushnell Instant Cabin Tent

The Bushnell Instant Cabin Tent is a two-room, three-season cabin tent that pitches in minutes thanks to its pre-attached steel pole frame. It offers 135 square feet of floor space with standup-height ceilings, a fully taped waterproof rainfly with a silver-coated interior, and ripstop polyester fabric. It suits car campers and families who want quick setup and room to stand and divide space, but its steel frame and bulky packed size make it a poor fit for backpacking. Rivals in the instant-cabin class trade some of this room and durability for lighter weight and smaller packs.
