Customer Review: Love This Tent
I bought this tent last summer and have used it many times. I love this tent! Very roomy! I have to respond to another review about it taking two people to set up, I am a mother of two young girls that I take camping alot during the summer and I have no problem setting this tent up myself. The only negatives I found is the leaky cover which can be fixed and the bag that they think you can put the tent back into.
Customer Review: good buy
I bought them late in the year so I only had a chance to use it once but was pleased with my purchase. The quality was excellent and the it was easy to put it up.


The ultralight tent camper is not the traditional pop-up camper that usually first comes to mind. There are many people, who take sports very seriously and the desire to enjoy extreme outdoor sports in remote areas, makes this tent the best for protection and safety for the night. Today's versions are more durable than the average traditional tent, easy to carry a good distance away from your vehicle with out a problem. There is no need for a lot of room in your car, because of the compact style of these camper and a weight of less than 5 pounds perfect to go for camping in remote areas.

The biggest market for these tends to be those who like to kayak for a few days, mountain climb long distances, mountain biking, or any other type of sport that is further out in areas a vehicle can not quite get to. It is for those people who only need protection for their stay at night because the day is full of adventures for them.

This very light tent camper usually sleeps two comfortably and is very quick to set up and easy to take down. It will hold the few necessities needed protecting everything during weather changes, keeping you and your gear dry during the rain and safe from wind and cold.

Although these campers are geared toward those loving adventure in remote areas, it is great for those just wanting to get away for a night or two, in a quiet place without having to spend a lot of time or money on their isolated jaunt. Many of us do not want to invest money into a camper for occasional use or there too are those that really prefer to quickly pick up and go. This is easily done with the ultralight tent camper. There are no hassles of hooking up and pulling along a camping trailer, nor is it costly. The impulse of a quick cheap vacation is right there to be enjoyed.

The designs and quality are better than ever, for the campers of today. Made of a light weight, but yet rugged material, the ultralight tent is often chosen by those who love the outdoors but do not desire having to have a year a round parking spot that the average camper trailer would need. Instead, very little storage room is needed and the ultralight tent camper can be conveniently tucked away when not in use.

Customer Review: The most awesome tent ever!
We set this tent up for a practice run on a windy day in the park and it was surprisingly fast and easy. Out first time actually camping was fabulous. The tent is so roomy and the best part is my very tall husband can stand up and even walk around inside.
Customer Review: Copper Canyon 1512: spacious, dry (mostly)
We took this tent to a medieval reenactment event. Pros: Size. This tent was large enough and to spare for us. We take a queen size air mattress, which takes up a lot of floor space in most tents. We also made up a dog bed for our 50 lb dog next to ours. Still had plenty of space for gear, food, and clothes. The ceiling height of the tent was awesome as well. My hubby is very tall and he could walk around in the tent without stooping. This has the highest ceiling of any modern tent I could find. Setup was accomplished in short order by four men. It wouldn't have taken that many, but who can say no to offered help? Dry. We stayed dry when many of our neighbors did not. It rained lightly, but steadily for about 36 hours. There was some dampness from water seeping up from beneath the tent. The seepage occurred where we had been walking in the tent. I don't think any other tent would have performed better. Shape. The cabin style blended in a bit better with the period tents than a dome or other modern tent. Ventilation was good. No condensation to speak of. Cons: Guy lines. The orange guy lines tended to blend in with the brown earth, making them hard to see. At least one broke because someone walked through it. I will be replacing those with a brighter color. Awning. The awning seemed pointless to me. It may have helped shield the door from the rain. However, it was very good at catching/holding rain water, probably about 5 gallons worth. The poles held up just fine even under the strain of 40 extra pounds. Stakes. We didn't use the ones that came with the tent, so I can't comment on those. All in all a great tent for our needs. We still have plenty of room inside for our growing family (bun in the oven). I expect this tent to suit us for many years to come. There were a few minor nuisances, but I am extremely pleased with the performance of this tent. If it hadn't been for this tent, we would have left the event early as the conditions were miserable.


If you're concerned about camping in your tent during rainy weather, you do have some waterproofing options. Waterproofing your tent will allow you to get out into the great outdoors more often without having to worry about being wet and uncomfortable. Even if rain isn't in the forecast, there are methods for waterproofing canvas tents that can prevent early morning dew formation, regardless of the season.

The best tent waterproofing option is to purchase a new tent specially made to resist water. You may think your existing tent is waterproof, but it may not be worth the risk to find out. You will need a specialized tent from an outdoor equipment store which has been coated with a special water resistant material. Make sure to purchase one with features that prevent dew formation inside the tent as well.

If you want to waterproof your tent more inexpensively, you can purchase the water resistant material and apply it yourself. The best tent waterproofing substances come in sprays, gels, and waxes. You will want to lay your tent in the backyard and apply carefully to every surface. Turn the tent periodically to make sure every bit of exterior surface has been covered.

Another possibility for cloth tent waterproofing is to purchase a special waterproof shield for your tent. This shield goes over the tent like a large umbrella. Because it is waterproof, water beads up on it and flows outward, toward the ground. When set up correctly, the water flow should never get near your actual cloth tent.

If you're a dedicated open-air camper, you don't need to worry about tent waterproofing, but there are some things you can do to keep yourself dry. A large tarp can be set up above your head. If erected at a slight slant, it will conduct water away from you and toward the ground. This method won't get in the way of enjoying the open air, and the tarp is easier to set up than a tent.

The best tent waterproofing methods should be able to prevent wet feet, damp sleeping bags, and water dripping onto your head. Nobody likes being cold and wet when they're trying to enjoy the great outdoors, or having to huddle around the fire first thing in the morning to dry off. Fortunately, waterproofing your tent is simple and will make camping much more enjoyable.
