ACACIA Space Tent, 2 to 3 Person Pop Up Camping Tent with 8 Windows and Footprint, Waterproof Windproof Easy Setup Hub Tent for Family Camping, Hiking and Glamping, Moonstone

The media could not be loaded. First of all, let me start out by saying I'm so happy and impressed that this tent has come to my attention!!Since the pandemic started and we couldn't travel anywhere, my friends and I all bought SUV's and started Overlanding a whole ton!! From then up until now, I have always had my sleeping set up in my Toyota Sequoia. Looked into a roof top tent but they were so expensive and also my black lab Coco can't quite climb a ladder. LOL.So coming across this ground tent setup intrigued me. I started to do some research and compare some other tents that were similar but after a few days of looking, I don't think there is anything on the market that even comes close.Here are my thoughts on my experience with this amazing tent setup. There were 4 items that I purchased separately on Amazon as you can decide on which additional items you want to get other than just the tent. First was obviously the tent itself, then I got the XL air base, I added the canopy also as it acts as a shade in the summer and a barrier in the winter, and then finally, the air compressor as it has all the connections you will ever need for anything inflatable. Everything was packaged very well and all the items come with its own carrying bag. The bags are big enough so that you are not struggling to unpack it or pack it. (you will appreciate this if you have ever tried to put a tent back in the bag it came in)Not going to lie but the whole setup with all four items was quite a bit of money but compared to a roof top tent, its about half the price.I also want to mention that I did get the XL version which is made for 4-6 people. They do have a smaller 2 person version that is identical in every aspect other than being smaller and lower in cost.So here is my first impressions with this tent for the first time.Setup is manageable with one person but two people would obviously be easier. The air base is massive so it takes almost 15 minutes to inflate. I just did mine to 5 psi but you can go a lot higher if needed. The air base is made out of a rubber material that is much like the extreme white water rafts so it is super strong and durable. Once inflated, it was firm but had a little give, I still brought my sleeping pad as it is much softer and more comfortable to sleep on. After the base is completely inflated, I placed the tent on top of the base to set up. The tent was super easy to put up as it was just four pull out walls with handles and a pop up top. Did it by myself fairly easily. The tent does come with a smaller rainfly that only covers the roof footprint, the additional canopy I purchased is big enough to offer shade for both doors and comes with its own canopy poles. All in all, took about 30 minutes to set everything up with the bulk of that time inflating the base.I must say that the construction and materials that went into this entire set up is top notch. The seams in the tent are tight and straight, the zippers are YKK branded and zip very smooth. There are 8 windows and two doors so when you have them all unzipped, its very open and air flows very well through the tent. At night, I closed up all the windows and doors and it was quite cozy inside. Also, there are two pouches to hold your wallet and cell phone, there's a hook in the center ceiling to hold a light, and there are little velcro loops to hold the wires.Overall, I would say that this is the most impressive tent that I have ever used and I love that fact that I get to use this all the time going forward with all of my future camping adventures.I will say, there is only one negative thing that I can think of and that is the air base is quite heavy at about 70lbs. The good thing is that you don't have to bring/use the base every time. The tent is great by itself and that only weighs about 45lbs.I would definitely recommend this tent system if you do a ton of camping all year round, or if you're the type of person that likes a nicer experience out in the wilderness, or if you have a significant other that will only come camping if she can stay in a nice yurt style tent. LOL.I hope this helps in your decision on which tent to get. Let me know if you have any questions.

After setting up my Space Acacia XL tent by myself I must admit that I am quite frustrated by some of the reviews stating the level of time and difficulty needed to set up.My first time set up took less than 5 minutes to pop out all of the sides, attach the 4 large doorway poles, secure the rainfly to the metal loops, and add the 4 small rainfly poles, including the time it took to unbuckle, unzip, and remove everything from the bag, without reading the instructions.I am by no means bragging but I could now do it in under 3 minutes which is exactly why I am frustrated. This tent sounded difficult to set up so I almost went with another great companies T-Hex hub tent, which is more expensive, but states from bag to base camp in under 90 seconds. I agree less than 90 seconds to pop out, but some of their models still require poles assembled for the roof while this one simply pops up. The other brand may be slightly faster in total, by about a minute simply because the XL door poles are placed on the inside of the tent. To me this extra 1 minute of time is well worth it since Space Acacia has two full sized doorways for the entrance and exit measuring about 68” tall from the ground and 32” wide. This other brands hub tent has a triangular doorway on the side which is easiest to enter and exit with your body completely sideways. Not to mention good luck getting your air mattress inside if it is already blown up unless you get their more expensive T-Hex or Plus hub tent version which does offer a larger entrance but still smaller triangular exits. I keep bringing up this other brand only because it is the only other tent out there that is even remotely comparable with pop out sides and it is still a top quality over-landing tent.For me the biggest reason to purchase this tent over the competition is because it is 4 season tent instead of 3. You will never camp in cold weather? No problem, how about wanting it to last for many years to come. The Weatherproof Oxford 300D material which is also flame-resistant is going to last much longer than every other tent out there offering 210 denier Oxford weave. I could not be more satisfied with this tent, the level of detail and comfort features added is unlike anything else on the Market. I cannot wait for the next-gen inflatable air floor to become available again for the Space Acacia XL. I honestly was not planning on purchasing the air floor since tent lifespans can vary so much, but I am confident that this tent will outlast anything I have owned prior.Gear Patrol Dot Com, I am particularly upset and disappointed by your testers review and I will never be relying on your website again for any future gear reviews.Your tester stated “I set up the Space Acacia by myself, but strongly suggest setting up with at least two people if you want it to take less than half an hour.”Gear Patrol Dot Com, I am not sure if it took your tester over 20 minutes just to read instructions or the tester has simply never been camping prior, but as someone who spends a lot of time camping, the entire set up of the Space Acacia XL took less than 5 minutes solo. I can only hope that it took your tester 30 minutes to set up because of the time needed to inflate the air floor. If this is the case then that should clearly be stated in the article. The time needed to inflate multiple air mattress’s or in this case an air floor is not the same as time spent setting up a tent. I almost purchased another companies tent based solely on your review, which would have cost Space Acacia a new loyal costumer and profit.
