This is a well constructed tent that provides privacy and shade. Easy to setup and break down.

If you've ever used any pop-up screens either for photography or in your car as a sun shade you'll know the struggle of how to fold these back up are. It is well ventilated and the material of a decent quality, but you should know you're never getting it back in that box or getting it to stand up right on the first try. This can lead to frustrating setup and take down.

This privacy tent works really well for camping showers or camping toilets. It also works for changing at the beach or when camping. It folds down flat so it's easy to store or pack and pops up in a second.

As soon as I got it out of the carrying case, I noticed an issue. There's no instructions. There was a hard to follow set of instructions for how to fold it up (we'll get to that later), but no instructions on setup or use. I mean, it's just a shower tent, right? How hard can it be? So I forged ahead. Setup of the tent was easy, as all of the popup stuff is. Just a few minutes and I had it ready for use. First problem was a tear in the wall. I didn't use a knife to open it up so I know it was there when I got it.I was able to easily figure out how to attach the floor to the tent. One aspect that I liked was the use of toggles to hold parts together rather than snaps or velcro that always seems to tear out. There are some velcro strips on the sides of the floor panel to hold it to the sides of the tent, and those are holding up just fine.This has excellent ventilation with two good sized windows and a mesh top. The windows have mesh as well as the outer material so you can keep the air moving without the bugs getting in. Both the mesh window and the outer window covering have separate zippers so you can decide on airflow and privacy. Both sets of zippers can be opened either from the inside or the outside.It was also easy to figure out how to attach the top rainfly. You just have to be a little taller than 5'6" to attach it easily. The rainfly attaches with two zippers on opposite sides of the tent. I've taken the fly off and put it back on a few times and those zippers are holding well. Not tearing out or breaking teeth off.The door is large enough to make it easy to get in and out. The bottom of the door is only about 4" from the ground so I wasn't catching my foot as I went in and out. Again, the zipper is holding up fine.They also included some tent stakes and cordage in order to secure it in the wind. My first suggestion would be to get your own tent pegs. These were merely bent pieces of metal about 5" long. They come out of the ground as easily as they go in. The cordage isn't the best, but they do include the sliders so you can easily tighten it. There are a total of 8 points to connect it to the ground. Four are on the bottom corners, and 4 are a little over 4' above the corners where you would connect the cordage. I never used this tent in heavy winds, but this isn't really made for heavy winds in my opinion. But at least with all those connection points you don't have to worry about it falling over while you're inside if it is breezy. So far none of the straps are tearing out of the tent.There's plenty of room inside. I've used smaller showers in campgrounds where you feel cramped but not with the tent. I could easily take a shower without touching the sides. There is a zippered opening at the top of the tent to allow a shower head and hose to come through. There are velcro straps to hold the shower head at the right level, unless you're taller than 5'6". Then it might be a bit too low. There is definitely no way you could hang one of those shower bags inside the tent. The weight would be too much and there's no way to hang it.The floor is heavy tarp type material and I'm sure using it in rocky areas would eventually poke a hole in it, but so far so good. You just need to clean the area well before setup, removing rocks and twigs. The mesh around the edge of the floor will allow the shower water to drain out easily and will keep your soap from skittering outside the tent if you dropped it. With that said, I only used it as a toilet/changing room and not as a shower so there's some speculation on my part.Theres a piece of velcro sewn into the interior wall about 12" from the floor. Without instructions, I really don't know what it's for. I haven't found a use for it yet.The tent comes with a removeable bag (held on with toggles) where you can put your toiletries, reading material, etc. The bag is about 20" wide and 10" tall with 4 pockets, two larger pockets in the back with 2 smaller pockets on the front. There's also a 9" x 8" bag sewn into the tent about 18" from the floor. This little bag is see-thru vinyl with a fold over top. A good place to store the toilet paper so it doesn't get wet from either showering or if you're in high humidity.There is a 28" piece of webbing material that goes across one wall on both the inside and the outside. The inside could be used to hold clothing for changing, maybe wet swimsuits to allow them to dry, or even a towel after showering. The outer webbing is where I would put my towel so it would stay dry while I shower, or again, drying swimsuits. If you used the outer webbing to hold your towel, dry clothes, etc. for after a shower, you can access them by opening the windows and just reaching outside. Being a woman, I would be comfortable opening the windows after a shower to get to the towel as the windows are high enough to give you privacy, as long as you aren't too tall. Like I mentioned a few times, I'm only 5'6". From the floor to the top it is about 6'6".They also included 4 drawstring bags made out the same material as the tent. I'm assuming those are for keeping things dry while you shower as they are waterproof. They fit perfectly in the 20" x 10" bag that you attach to the inside of the tent. Little touches like that kinda make up for the lack of instructions.Now for the fun part. I had this set up for about 2 weeks. Had no issues with it. Then it was time to fold it up. And just like every other popup tent I have ever tried, I cannot get it to fold up and go back into the bag. The closest I was able to get was using twist ties to hold the handles together. There's no way I can get the zipper to close on the bag. 45 minutes of my life was wasted trying to get it to fold up correctly. The instructions for folding were absolutely worthless. "Put force to bend it inward as shown", and the picture shows you nothing. You could be folding it from the top to the bottom, from the sides, wherever. The picture was worthless. "Push the bottom of the tent inward." Well, the picture doesn't show the bottom from the top from the sides. "The tent will naturally twist and flatten into a circle." No, no it won't. You'll get a big oval, but never a circle. And that oval will never fit into the bag. I will be giving this away. Maybe someone else would like to fight it. I'm done. That's why it only gets one star. Something this hard to take down is totally worthless.

Setting up this tent is very easy - it's much easier than packing it back up! I ordered this tent for showering and changing while "rough" camping without my travel trailer. If I had a composting toilet, this is where it would be. This is great extra private space for van-lifers and car-campers, in a small, lightweight package. It's too cold to use it outside right now in Wisconsin, but as suggested, I set it up in my living room to practice packing it up. It was a little frustrating for the first 30 minutes, but after the first time getting it collapsed correctly, the next attempts went MUCH smoother. Everyone should definitely practice at home before taking it camping.It comes with a rain fly for the ventilated top. It also has a removeable floor and several pockets and pouches. (one of them fits a roll of TP)This will be the perfect compliment to my battery powered shower setup.

The pros are that this pop-up is well made and has better than average ventilation. The thought that went into this design shows. I did have a bit of trouble folding it down at first but once I figured it out it did exactly as designed. I bought this to be used mainly as a changing tent while camping. The downside I see is that it is a bit too translucent. I was expecting a bit more "silver coating" on the inside for privacy. I wouldn't want to set it up in the sun. I see it is now offered with the darker color on the main portion. Perhaps that will help with the issue It wasn't an option for me at the time of ordering. The floor mat is nicer than others I've seen. It is larger and thick enough for the job. Now to address the bag. Yes, it will fit into the bag but it certainly takes some effort. I could understand the bag needing to be snug to help keep it all together but this is an extremely tight fit with questionable thickness to the bag and a light zipper. I expect the bag to fail long before the tent does. A little more room would would be an improvement. So this is a very well designed shelter which would earn five stars all the way with a little less transparency and a better bag to hold it.

I don’t have any confidence that any of these type of pop open tents are strong enough to hang anything on, definitely not water, and probably not even a towel. But we use bicycle bottles for our camp showers and this will work fine for that. I plan to put a small chair or still inside to hold my stuff. I figured if I wanted a sturdier tent it was going to have poles, be harder to set up, and take up more space. I like this one because it packs up small and pops right open. It will need to be staked (provided). It has a lot of features- windows, a fly, a separate plastic tarp for the floor (which attaches if preferred but that seems too fussy, to be honest). I will say that it is NOT easy to get it back in the bag! It took two of us and a lot of wrestling. I will update this post after I have actually used it, but it seems like it will be useful and it takes up so little space it can be tucked away ‘just in case’.
