Texsport Kingwood 3-Room Family Tent

We were looking for a larger tent that wasn't going to cost us too much money as we only camp 2 or 3 times a year. The Texsport, though rated as a 3 room tent, really only comfortably sleeps 4 people with two queen air mattresses inside. This setup also gives you room to keep your gear. The zippered room dividers were worthless and ended up in the trash. Its a nice high tent, easy to setup, and has a screened in top from end to end. This is great for star gazing. The rainfly goes on quickly, and also closes up the top so you keep a little warmth inside. We looked all over for a reasonably priced tent, and this fit the bill perfectly. You are not going to find another quality tent like this for this price - believe me, we looked for months!

The Pros: Very large tent (18' x 10'), easy to setup/teardown, included rainfly, meshed top on 3/4 of the entire tent, good zippers, 3 points of entry.

The Cons: Stakes need to be swapped out with better, heavier duty ones, 3 Room description is misleading

The first tent we ordered had a rainfly that did not fit. A new rainfly solved the problem, but in less than 2 days of using the tent for camping, the zipper split on the door. We received a replacement tent, and when we set it up to make sure every part was present and functional, found a large defect in the mesh ceiling window - just like a run in pantyhose - that would let bugs in. Amazon.com and the company who manufactures this tent were both very satisfactory in customer service and resolving this process, but we are now tentless and recovering from all the frustration this particular purchase caused us before looking into getting another tent (of a different brand). Maybe other purchasers of this tent did not have the same problems as we did, and we were just unfortunate to receive several defective tents, but I cannot recommend this tent to others based on our experience.

This was a gift to our children (5 & 3) for Christmas. We have used it only twice (it is winter & we live in NC). We enjoyed our nights out, except it was a little cold, again it is winter. The only down side was the instructions. If you aren't familiar with putting up a tent, it could have been a real chore. Otherwise a great tent.
