Tent Cot Folding Off The Ground Waterproof Camping Sleeping Bed with Rain Cover

I'm completely blown away by the quality of this! Not only is it super well made and heavy duty but it is very sturdy as well. I had never really thought about having a tent cot for camping, but I'm so glad that I stumbled across this! I love that it gets your tent situation up off the ground and you can even sit on it while you're taking your shoes off to get into the tent etc. It came very well packed and secured so there was no damage to any of the parts. It was super easy for my husband to set up. It does come with a manual that is very clear and easy to read which was helpful. I love that it is made of heavy duty weather resistant material so if it rains you don't have to worry about getting soaked. Another bonus of it being on a cot rather than the ground is that if it does rain your whole bottom of your tent won't get soaked. It is a really good size and folds up so you can easily carry it wherever you need it to go. The one con would be the weight of this. It's got to be over 35 lb at least. My husband is easily able to carry it so it's not a problem for me! Super happy with this! We got to try it out this weekend on a little mini camping trip. I do have to say you will want to get a tiny air mattress to put in there because the little fabric bottom that it comes with is not enough. Overall still super happy with it and definitely think it's a 10 out of 10! Amazing value for your money

A bit tricky to set up. I had to flip it on its side to set up the legs correctly. I found it difficult to get in and out of the small door ways. I got this tent cot to avoid having to crawl into a tent on hands and knees but thats how i have to enter this setup. Once inside it has plenty of room for sleeping and well ventilated with all 4 doors screens opened but that's it. Pockets at each end to store things inside, however mine did not have the bungee towel hanger which is fine cause I had planned to cut them out anyway. The rain fly only attached to the corners like a fitted sheet so a strong wind might rip it off in a storm. The rain fly only allows 1 side door entry to be used when it's on. Lame. The poles that prop open the fly don't have a place to attach to main body of cot so they are just on the ground to prop up the fly doorway. Pack up was quick and simple at least. Kinda high priced for something like this but it's a neat idea. Purchased this one for the extra support legs at each end since I'm a big guy I wanted that extra support. Overall it's a nice option for my camping equipment.

I’ll start by saying this works as designed. There are a lot of pros and cons about this type of tent though, and a lot of things I personally do and do not like about it. I have a lot of experience camping in a variety of conditions from minimal bivy camping to backpacking to van glamping. I recently had to tent camp after years of using my van, and I was quickly reminded many things I don’t like about tents. I never considered a cot tent before so when this came up on my Vine list, I decided to give it a try. And as it worked out, I received it a day before a weekend camping trip, so I took this as my shelter.I’ve never used a cot tent before, so I can’t compare this one to other cot tents, so my comparison is really against a ground tent.Pros:* Gets you and the tent off the ground. There are a lot of advantages to the tent being off the ground:- Doesn’t saturate the bottom of the tent when it rains- Makes it easier to find a place to set it up because you don’t have to worry about prickly plants or rocks- Because the bottom of the tent is off the ground, this is also good for the air mattress because you don’t have to worry about something poking a small hole in it- I enjoy being off the ground when I take my shoes on/off, with this you are in a sitting position when doing that- Also being from an elevated position, is more comfortable getting in/out of the tent* I was surprised at how quick and easy it is to set it up. There isn’t as much bending over as a ground tent and it’s even easier to set up in wind than a ground tent* Doesn’t require a ground footprint tarp* Disassembly was also about the same in effort an time, and the storage bag is a nice size so it actually fits back into it* Screen windows on all four sides of the tent is great for ventilation and even views* There’s a door on each side* At 6’4”, there was enough room for me to lay flat length wise, which isn’t often the case with ground tents* I was worried about trying to find a place to set it up because it seemed like the surface would need to be very consistent to prevent it from rocking if some of the legs were uneven. But I didn’t have any problem and if anything, it was easier to find a spot for this than a ground tent, again not having to worry about the surface the tent is being placed. That said, I’ve certainly setup a ground tent in places this would not have worked* Lots of pockets inside* It also has a towel drying hanger strap inside which is a little strange, no way I’d want to dry anything inside a tent. Granted sometimes it’s necessary to do so if it’s rainy days-on-end. But I did find the strap to be handy to hang other things to make them easier to find* Because it’s heavy, I didn’t worry about it blowing around in light winds. It does come with some steaks and guy-lines, but I just put some heavy rocks on the cot ground supportsCons:* Heavy and Bulky. Obviously the size and weight is pretty unavoidable, bulky and at over 45 lbs, this is a beast to get in and out of my SUV and took up a lot of room* Despite the “thin” fabric floor, I did need to use an air mattress. I’m a side sleeper, so no way I can sleep comfortable on the floor alone. Plus in some positions, you can feel the support structure under the floor, the air mattress took care of that problem* The fabric floor is noise when moving around on it. It’s not unusual for an air mattress to be noisy too, so I had two sources of noise instead of just one* The main doors are kind of small. Despite how small they are, they did in fact work but it would have been nice if they were taller* The rain fly could have been implemented better. It has only one door, so despite the tent having two doors, with the fly on you can get in/out on only one side. The rain fly sits pretty tight against the main tent which blocks a lot of the airflow when the rainfly is closed up for weather. It came with two poles to support the rain fly door open, but those poles just rest on the ground, which is pretty useless, especially if it’s even a little breezy out. It also doesn’t attach very well to the tent. It fits like a fitted sheet around the entire tent, and then has some ties to tie it to the cot frame, and those ties are kind of small. I worry that won’t stay on in heavy winds, it really should have a more positive attachment.* Although I mentioned in the Pros that the towel hanger is handy, it’s also very much in the way of getting in/out of the tent. Hardly a show stopper but an annoyance. I may just cut it offIt’s hard to draw a bottom-line conclusion on this tent. I like it as a tent solution, but transport is a real pain. Given the choice though, I will use it over my ground tents, when I have the room in my car to take it.
