GigaTent Bear Mountain Family Tent Review

Received quickly thru ebay. I was replacing an old tent that I think was about 8x8 for something just a little bigger and taller so that my son & husband could stand in it. they are 6'3". I also wanted to be able to use this tent when I'm camping alone. I love cabin styles because they give you the most head and wall height and the best use of interior space. I was also looking at the Eureka cooper canyon. These two are almost identical in they're style & construction, but not only was the…

I like the height and assembly of this tent.The best part is the ample space in the storage bag. I hate always having to roll up things into their original size to get them to fit in their bags. This is not the case with this tent, so takedown and cleanup is quick and easy.The one bad thing about this tent is the yellow zipper flap on the door. I think its there to shed moisture from coming into the zipper, but the zipper consistently gets caught on it. So you can't eaily open the tent with one

this is the best tent, it is huge but does not take up any more floor space then my old tent. I do have to say it took two of us to put it up at least the cross section of it, I also bought the Browning Camp Cot and it fits perfectly in the tent. There are two doors one on each side and two great windows on the other two sides. I can stand up and have lots of room, I even put a chair in the tent and still had room to move around. Its amazing how much space a 10 X 10 tent can have when the sides

Finally found a tent that is JUST right for 2 50 somethings. 10X10, near vertical sides, great ventilation, 6 foot sidewall height with 7 foot center height. Notice the rainfly, allows ventilation in all but the most extreme conditions. An extra high blow up queen mattress fits nicely with walk around & storage room to boot. If you aren't handy with solving problems you likely don't need to tent camp, get a room. It has issues you need to address BEFORE you set it up at the campsite but it is 5

The best tent EVER! Used the tent for the 1st time last night. Easy to setup! Can be done by one person but definitely helps to have a second person to help.Perfect tent for 3-4 people with room to store your gear. Plenty of space inside to stretch out and could easily stand inside in the middle. Tent is also much lighter than expected which is a nice plus.When breakdown: just make sure to squeeze out the air so that it will fit easily into the carry bag.

Held up to heavy rain without any leaks. Assembled fairly easily. Plenty of room for a full size bed and equipment. That's my review.

Little awkward to put up until you get the hang of it (instructions were worthless). But SO roomy. I felt like a queen in it.

My 1st time using the tent one of the pole sections split apart. That happened 8/17. Since then I have been in contact with them 6 or 7 times with them promising to replace it as soon as they come in. Now almost a year later I am to go on a camping trip but won't be able to use the tent that has only been used once. I'll have to borrow one. NOT COOL!

Really like this tent, easy to put up and can lay in bed and look out windows, or close them. Good rain fly that sticks out well to protect windows.

The good: The tent is very roomy and I love the near-vertical walls.The bad: It is impossible to set this up by yourself - definitely needs at least 2 people. I've used this tent maybe 10 times by now, and one of the top poles has already broken.twice. Also, the zippers constantly get caught in the flap covering the zipper - not a huge deal but very annoying.I'm ready to give up and am tossing this for a Coleman instant tent.
