NTKArizona GT 9 to 10 Person Tent for Family Camping | 17.4 x 8 ft Camping Tent with 2 Rooms, 2 Doors, 100% Waterproof Dome & Breathable Mesh | Outdoor | 2500 mm Warm & Cold Weather Family Tent.

The tent I received is well designed and quality built. Packaged in its carrying case, it is easy to handle but a bit heavy. It’s great for car camping but not for hiking. It needs a large space 17’ x 8’ plus access at doors and room for the guy ropes.Set up is straight forward and not too difficult. My second time to set up the tent took about 20 minutes + 10 minutes for guy ropes clips, ties and ventilation. I set it up mostly by myself with help from my wife when two hands aren’t enough.I placed a 18’ x 12’ tarp down first as a ground cloth; folded the excess under so I could stake the tent without puncturing the cloth. I then rolled out the tent onto the cloth and set aside the rain fly. Extend the poles and match the pole color to a like colored sleeve. When the poles are in the sleeves, get the second pair of hand to insert the floor ring pins into the end of the pole, and then you push and bend the poles to insert the pin into the other end. The tent will begin to pop up.Next stake the floor and square and lightly tension the stakes. This will urge the tent further upright. The stakes supplied were adequate for 2 nights of 10 mph wind, but you might want to purchase larger stronger stakes.Next lay the rain fly on the ground along side of the tent; match the fly doors to the tent. Get your helping hands and then each grab a corner, one from the front and the other from the back. Walk from one side to the other while lifting the fly over the top of the tent. Flap the fly if it catches on the tent. Look at the inside of the fly, there are several ties to tie and clips to attach to the tent poles. Once they are attached, you can stake the fly and attached the guy ropes. Tighten the ropes and the tent is up.The tent is spacious. There were only two of us with a queen sized mattress. There is easily room for another queen mattress and perhaps some sleeping bags on the floor. We stayed warm on a 50 F night, and the ventilation was good during the 75 F afternoon with the rain fly fully on.Packing it back up was easy and folding it to fit and rolling it tightly along with the poles, it went into the carry bag without a problem.This is a little expensive but you get quality and a spacious tent for the price. I recommend this as a good buy.Updated 07/04/18: Spent Memorial Day weekend camping in this tent. I had waterproofed the rain-fly last year with Nikwax Concentrated Tent & Gear Solar Proof Waterproofing. It rained very hard one night for 4 to 6 hours. The next morning I did not find a single leak anywhere; floor , walls, windows or doors. Very happy that we can stay dry in heavy and windy rains.

This tent is TOTALLY worth the price! Bought it & took it straight to Yellowstone for a 5-day camping trip. (Meant to put it up before we left, but life.) It was an easy set-up! Took 4 of us less than 10 minutes from unpackaging to unrolling our sleeping bags inside! (We did not stake down the rainfly, which we definitely will do next time.) Very intuitive assembly.This tent very comfortably fit 3 teens + their gear, 2 adults + gear, a queen size inflatable mattress, with room for our shoes by the door, & to walk from front to back. I love being able to stand up to change my clothes in the tent! I love that the sides aren’t slanted in at you, reducing the headspace in the tent. It feels roomy & open, but you stay surprisingly warm & toasty!Features I appreciate:Quality fabricEasy & quick assemblyFantastic seams over the rugged-yet-smooth zippersWonderful super-fine mesh windows that keep out even the tiniest bugsSpacious bag with cinch straps (I don’t know why people had a hard time with that. We EASILY got everything back into the bag. The trick is to fold it up again based on the crease lines on the tent!)Sturdy polesAn amazing number of sewn-in tabs on the outside to tie down the tent/rainfly. I think it could withstand a hurricane!Nice room dividerMesh “platform” for your flashlight or lantern, so you’re not trying to awkwardly deal with your light source while changingDouble mesh pockets to hold your phone/glasses/tissues/inhaler/chapstick/etc so you’re not fumbling around in the darkSewn-in instruction sheetAmazing rainfly!!ABSOLUTELY WATERPROOF.So... we left for a day trip off to see some Yellowstone sites/sights. Not a cloud in the sky, & no cell service to check the weather forecast. I actually didn’t even think about it! Six hours later, we were 90 minutes away from camp & on our way “home” when it began to rain. No, it was pouring! We kept watching for Noah & his ark!! We were driving INTO the storm, which was coming from the direction of camp. And that’s when I remembered that I’d zipped up the tent door, but NOT the rainfly over the main door. Where our bed & clothes were. HORSE PUCKY. I was not excited to deal with a damp & crabby husband...I have no idea how long it had dumped on our tent, but when we got back to camp, it was still sprinkling, & little rivers had been flowing thru the campsite. With great apprehension I checked our tent... & miracle of miracles, IT WAS BONE DRY INSIDE!! The seams are so well constructed that they kept the rain out even thru the wind-blown deluge! My nephews’ Coleman tent did not fare as well... They had things up against the sides of the tent, & even with the rainfly, water soaked thru & left about a 1/2” of water in the bottom. Wet sleeping bags, wet pads, soggy everything. I felt a little bad for them, but I was thankful to be warm & dry in MY tent. And we stayed dry even as it rained all night long!Bottom line: NTK is the ONLY brand of tent we will ever buy again. You will NOT be disappointed. And if you have a problem, contact their customer service. They will make it right! TUDO BOM!!

I love this tent! It is literally the nicest tent I have ever seen in person. I recognized the quality workmanship right away. I bought this tent to replace the crappy new Coleman tent I bought and returned immediately. All of the seams on the rainfly are perfectly taped. I love how the rain fly goes on all the way to the ground, and the roll-up windows and vents on the rain fly are wonderful. This is the first tent I have seen that has 2 doors - how cool.It is definitely 100% waterproof. Took it to San Diego and it rained on us really hard on the 2nd night of our trip, and there was flooding at our campground. I added some pictures to illustrate the amount of rain we got. The inside of the tent was 100% dry, and we were all very comfortable. There was so much water on the ground that the floor of the tent felt like walking on a water bed, but not one leak inside the tent. I was amazed. Everyone that has seen the tent is impressed. The ventilation is superb, better than any tent I have used. It is easy to put together, and fits in the storage bag with no problem. It is huge! There was room for 3 big cots and a queen sized air bed, with some room to spare. I can walk upright from one end to the other with lots of room over my head (I am only 5'7", though). One great thing about this tent is that you can put the rain fly on, then roll it back and tie it down; enjoy sleeping under the stars with the enormous screened windows, and if a rogue rain storm should happen to roll in in the middle of the night, no worries - just get out and unroll the rain fly. I can't say enough great things about this tent. I love everything about it. I think if I ever need another tent, I will get another NTK.
