How many people does it really sleep?

It is rated for 12, but like most tents that figure assumes sleeping bags side by side. For comfortable camping with gear, plan on 6 to 8 people or four queen air mattresses.

Can I stand up inside?

Yes. The center height is 86 inches, so most adults can stand upright, and the straight walls keep headroom usable near the edges.

Does it work in rain?

The rainfly is water repellent with sealed seams on the fly, doors and windows. In heavy or sustained rain, pitch it taut and keep the fly on.

Can I use it without the rainfly?

Yes. The rainfly is removable, leaving the mesh ceiling open for airflow and stargazing in clear, warm weather.

Is it good for backpacking?

No. Its size and weight make it a car-camping tent. Backpackers should look at a much smaller, lighter tent.

The tent, color-coded fiberglass poles, a removable rainfly and a room divider are included.

What reviewers say

4.6 / 564 ratings

Owners rate it highly, praising the standing height, the roomy straight-wall layout and the ventilation. Complaints center on the bulk and weight for transport and on setup effort for one person.

About the Core Equipment 12 Person Straight Wall Cabin Camping Tent

The Core Equipment 12 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent has a 16' x 11' floor and an 86" center height. Straight walls and tall ceilings give room to stand, stretch and move around. The tent sleeps 12 and fits 4 queen air mattresses.

The tent has a front T-Door and a back D-Door. An included room divider splits the space into separate living and sleeping areas. The sleeping side measures 5.5' x 11', and the rest (10.5' x 11') can be used for gear. Wall storage pockets help keep items organized, and an electrical cord access port closes fully when not in use.

Setup uses color-coded fiberglass poles, sleeves and joints. The water repellent rainfly is removable, which exposes the mesh ceiling for views of the sky. CORE H2O Block Technology combines water repellent fabrics that shed water faster with sealed seams on the rainfly, doors and windows. Adjustable ground vents draw in cool air while the full mesh ceiling lets hot air out.
