4 Person Pop Up Tents for Camping - AYAMAYA Waterproof Instant Family Tents with Skylight & Removable Rainfly, Upgraded Large Size with 2 Doors -Automatic Easy Setup Beach Tent with Poles

I've had my Ayamaya tent set up UNDER a slightly larger hoop house for about the last 8 months (as of May 2024) and before that had used it on numerous occasions. I was looking for a spacious pop up tent, mesh window in the ceiling, LOTS of ventilation, windows accessible from inside and outside of the tent, and all waterproof. This Ayamaya tent fits all the categories and is very well constructed - everything functions beautifully! I think this is one of the best pop-up tents out there, BUT! I've protected it from northern Colorado wind, hail, and sun by keeping it set up continuously for several months at a time and pretty much protected 24/7 with heavy-duty tarps and shade cloths over a larger hoop house surrounding the tent. It's in excellent shape still. (Nylon or Polyester will deteriorate and tear easily, especially with prolonged sun exposure ) I love: the design lines of the curvy fiberglass poles; I have the green color - soothing; I can kneel inside and my head doesn't touch the ceiling (I'm 5'5" tall); when I do take the tent out of it's protective 'house' and sleep under the stars...the ceiling window (it does have a rain cover) is perfect for star gazing and hot nights. This tent has plenty of ventilation (all openings have a fine mesh layer as well as rain cover - 2 huge doors at either end, 2 large side windows...plenty of air! Zippers are smooth and excellent; doors have an awning arrangement (with poles supplied for one end,) nice for light rain entry or shade. I've used the tent in pretty bad storms and it worked very well - no leaks...however, mostly I set it up it on a wood platform which can collect water and get under the tent but so far, not an issue. The fiberglass poles are flexible (to a degree) and will bend astoundingly in strong wind but hold up very well IF guy lines are being used (providing more rigidity and support for the tent - a MUST step to take!...as well as securing the base of the tent with supplied stakes. I studied and studied and studied the videos on how to fold it back up so it's second nature and not a point of utter disappointment. ( I highly recommend this approach - it seems to be the downfall of most pop-up tents of similar design) . Overall, yes, I love this tent - it's wonderfully roomy for 2 people, and probably one or two other people as well (not tested by me yet). Treat the tent with care - Poles will probably break if thrown while coiled up in it's case, and it lands on its edges (like a wheel) - it will suddenly collapse the pole structure which may (and has) broken in 2 places! CAN BE REPAIRED with a sturdy metal sleeve to 'join' the two ends of the broken section of pole . (This happened with another similar tested tent - not the Ayamaya - but I mention it so you don't give up on the tent if this happens to you!)Beware - later additions (ie a clear rain cover for the ceiling mesh window) offered the next year after my tent purchase, was advertised to fit my tent....sadly, no, it did not. The tent design had changed enough in one year to NOT accommodate my earlier version of the tent. It was a great idea, but in this case, I wouldn't recommend anything sold to retrofit...it's not that fancy of a tent operation that steadily tracks its model changes/'improvements'. But for the price point it's an excellent choice - if you take the normal tent securing precautions using the guy lines and staking the tent down) and don't expect it to perform as a high-class mountaineering tent, it's a joy! It will hold up in high winds (fiberglass poles will bend to scary degrees but spring back to shape right away, or snap if the action is too quick as in high blustery winds...in which case you have the wrong tent for the situation. Pack out! ) It probably will not hold up well to 1" hail or raging extended and violent thunderstorms! It's a great tent though, and I find it a joy to use and be in.

I love this pop-up tent! It is amazingly compact, which is important for me because my car is a 2-seater mid-engine 85 Pontiac Fiero (which means a very small trunk). Probably more important is how easy it is to setup. It nearly assembles itself! A bit tricky the first time you repack into travel configuration. I recommend practicing a few re-folding attempts before doing it in front of your wife/girlfriend (or husband/boyfriend). Definitely not a “glamper” tent (luxury camper), but it is great for what it is designed for.

easy to put up

Very easy to set up, take it out the bag and it's set up! So easy!

Easy portable fun, yes please! We use this tent all the time. In the yard, at a beach, wherever. Easy open in a minute and once you learn it’s easy to close, and store away. Love this tent.

This tent is horrible! It sets up in seconds, but takes forever to figure out how to pack it back up. There are Ikea instructions on the bag, but they suck as bad as the tent. I want to throw it away every time I set it up. The doors are stupid as well. They have to be closed from the outside. Screen door zips, fabric door does not. Stupid design all around.

I gor this as my 1st tent about 2 years now andni absolutely love it. As a precaution is applied liquid repellant to better improve the waterproofing. 2 years, no damage, no leaks. I love that it has 2 doors and 2 windows. I like that I can transform 1 door to an awning; I had to youtube to find out how to use the poles included for that. And I had to visit youtube for a clearer guide on how to take it down. It felt like it was going to break, at first, but it didn't. The built in rods I guess are twisted now, so it doesn't pop up like it used to; instead I have to move the tent in place after it pops open.

Setting up -This thing was so easy to setup it did all the work for us on this aspect. I bought this for bonnaroo(a music festival) with my boyfriend. setting up the tent was his thing and he nailed it down as well which felt very secure but the both ends did pop up off the ground a little bit but that didn’t really make a difference or matter to usspace-We fit a blow up full size mattress in it and some clothes etc I would say we could have fit a queen size in it but we wouldn’t have had any extra space by doing so. This is definitely not a luxurious tent and would not try to squeeze more than two people.Wind resistance-Great! Maybe too great. Even with all of the windows and doors on both sides heat was TRAPPED it was so hot in there it felt like you were suffocating and sitting in an oven. Keep in mind though this was in Tennessee heat in June so it would get up to around 100F. And at night we would be freezing so take that as you willkeeping out bugsthe screens were great at this one no bugs would come in unless you open the screensWater resistanceyou know i am not entirely sure on what to say about this one. The rain wouldn’t get in and i wouldn’t say any of our stuff was drenched. but it rained when we used it a little bit(no downpour) and we would seam up our tent well but all of our stuff including the bed would be very damp and we definitely got a little bit sick from having to sleep in the damp cold tent at night.packing uppacking up was a little more difficult and we were afraid of breaking it when we had it to bend and fold it up. a few times we thought for sure we were going to break it. but we didn’t! its all about being gentle with it and finding the soft points in it. it maybe took 15 minutes?overall- I want to say better things about this. This would be good for a one night trip. maybe a weekend. I really wouldn’t use it for another week long trip like i took. maybe i would use it for an extended trip if it trapping humidity in it wasn't a problem. Maybe go for a tent slightly bigger so it has more ventilation. I really did enjoy how its a pop up though and I wish i could find some larger tents that were also pop ups!
