Night Cat Pop-up Camping Tent: 1 Person Tent Waterproof Instant Easy Setup Outdoor Tent

BUY THIS TENT. For the price you get an ultra-roomy 1-person tent that looks great from the outside and inside. Unpacks in moments, and folds up easily to pack away in an ultra-light bundle that'll fit anywhere. Could not believe when thr box came that there was a tent in that small flat package. Even when I unboxed the tent I still couldn't believe there was a tent big enough for an entire person in this lightweight carrying case. STILL could not believe my eyes when this tent assembled itself after taking it out of its storage bag! I'm 5'9" 200lbs and you could fit two of me in there, I plan on putting a cot and side table in mine, so much room. Then the ulitmate test, I folded it back into a figure 8 twice as the instructions said and had it back in its bag in seconds. Unreal for under $70, you can't go wrong!!

So far I'm very satisfied with my decision to purchase this tent. It's extremely easy to set up and to pack back up, especially compared to other brands of similar style tents. I'm also impressed with the attention to details of the features of this tent, especially for this price range. I'm still waiting to see how the tent will perform in rain. I will update the review with that information. *Rain Update* We had a slow moving front come through my area last night and I was able to see how this tent performed in the rain. While not a strong thunderstorm, it did rain pretty good and for a large portion of the night. Overall I was very happy with the result. PLEASE NOTE: I purchased this tent to have something quick, easy, and compact to setup and take down for an overnight sleep. As such, I don't bother to make use of the stakes. By not using the stakes the tent wasn't as taught as it should be, which caused some areas of the tent to sag and allowed some water to collect. When I awoke I noticed a couple of drops permeating through in these areas. I'm sure that if the tent were fully taught and staked this wouldn't have happened. I woke up to my self and belongings being dry and I'm still a happy camper. Please see my notes regarding rain and waterproofing below... Speaking of rain... I've seen some reviews criticizing leaks and wanted to share some information. The very first thing you should do with a brand new tent, regardless of brand, price, and claims of "waterproof" is apply a waterproofing product. These usually come in the form of sprays. From what I've read in the description is this tent's waterproofing is based on the fabric rating. You should always apply a water repelling product to a new tent - think of it as "rain-x" for your tent. Also, nothing should touch the sides of a tent as this will make water come through regardless of waterproofing. A tarp should be used for the bottom and should never stick out beyond the edge as it will give an avenue for moisture to collect between the tarp and floor of the tent. Tuck any excess tarp under the edge of the tent and under the tarp itself.

This tent is a good 1-man tent. Enough space for 1 person sleeping plus backpack/gear next to you in the tent, as long as you're not claustrophobic (I had a 70L frameless backpack with me in mine). This is basically a sleeping tent. Not a tent you can stand up in, or one you would want to spend a lot of time in otherwise. Crouching down or crawling around on hands and knees is all you get. Probably best suited for overnight thru-hiking on trail. Pros: 1. Small footprint, light-weight, with easy-carry handles, and backpack strap option. The shape of the tent makes for good wind resistance during high wind conditions (speaking from experience). 2. Set up is quick and easy. Less than 20 seconds (without setting the guy lines). The longest part is getting it out of the bag or staking, tying, and adjusting the guy lines, but even that doesn't take long. Tear down is quick and easy as well. I was able to tear down (guy lines included) and be ready to move in under 10 minutes without rushing. 3. Zip-cover for entrance doubles as a canopy for shade (in good weather) when used with hiking poles. 4. Waterproof tent, extreme weather circumstances excluded (see Cons for more info on this). Well-stitched seams, with durable material. Cons: 1. No Rainfly. This is a waterproof tent, as long as you aren't in heavy/sustained rains. During extreme conditions, moisture may soak through. Speaking from experience here (remnants of Hurricane Helene September 2024 in Northern KY/Southern OH, with 20+ hours of rain). If there were some type of rainfly over the tent, I think it would have held up just fine. It didn't leak, it just became overly saturated due to the amount of rainfall I experienced. 2. 3-way ventilation. There is the main entrance, and two small side zippered mesh windows only. No top mesh ventilation. If the "wall" opposite of the main entrance had an additional zippered mesh window or opening, it would maximize ventilation potential since there is no top mesh for "waterproof" purposes. However, I believe Night Cat offers 4-way ventilation in the 2-person version of this tent. Overall: I feel like this tent lives up to descriptions, again, extreme weather conditions excluded, but that probably goes for any tent. Ease of set up and tear down are a plus if you're thru-hiking and just need cover for a quick sleep, or just want something simple for overnighting somewhere on your own.

I got this for my 1 and 4 year old grandaughters for Christmas. I made them wait till the end to open it and it's a good thing, because they were in it for the rest of the day. They were in the house and played in it with their other Grandma. So it's plenty big enough for 1 person to sleep in. The girls will also use it for a playhouse and nap tent when they go camping. It took their abuse just fine, so far in one day anyway. It isn't the easiest to put away, but it is doable.

only one door not two doors, but feels ok not too much ventilated.

I bought this for the odd 1 night stay on campsites, to save the faff of putting up my other more traditional style tents that have seperate poles. It is very easy to deploy and would be great if it was raining, when you needed to pitch your tent knowing it will stay dry inside inside will while you peg it out. Just big enough for 1 person plus a small 30 litre rucksak I would say, but a fair bit of head room to enable clothing change and sorting out your gear. There are 4 pegging out points on the base and 4 extra guy lines to attach higher up on the tent to give some extra stability in stronger winds. Having said that, this is not a tent you want to take out in extreme conditions and is only ok for light winds and in a sheltered position. The 3000 hh is quite impressive for this type of tent and should keep most British rain falls from leaking into the tent, helped by the heat taped seems at the joints of the materials. Another unique feature is the provision of two unzippable windows one at either side of the tent with built in bug mesh, this should also help with giving some airflow through the tent to reduce the inevitable condensation problems that you will encounter with this single skinned tent. The one access opening at the end of the tent also has a zipped bug net and an outer waterproof zipped cover for when you want to completely shut yourself inside away from the elements. This outer cover has an eyelet in two corners that can be used with a couple of trecking poles or suitable sticks to create a mini portch cover to give a degree of protection from either the sun or rain enabling a bit of a view from your spot inside the tent. There is very little room once all your kit is inside, so if you want to prepare food during inclement weather then consider nutritious snacks or pre cooked foods that can be heated with a chemical heater or eaten cold......definately no cooking stoves!!. The tent pegs that come with it are the cheepy thin steel ones that are only suitable for pitching on golfing greens!, so I suggest you at least invest in better quality ones, preferably shephard hook style ones as the loops on the tent favour this style of peg. Final thoughts: I think this is well made made using good quality materials (apart from the pegs!), It is easy to pitch and (once you practice) fairly easy to pack away. If you can accept its limitations in internal size, limited weather conditions, and prone to internal condensation problems, then this is a great little tent for easy speedy pitching and a lot less faff than a normal tent. On that basis I can recommend this as a good purchase.

Simple to open that’s for sure. I used it to put over a cat shelter for the winter. So far it is exactly what I wanted. Price was right. Quality is exceptional. I just placed the cat shelter I purchased here on Amazon inside the tent. Placed a heater and heated dishes inside. Hopefully I am helping the few stray cats which I am also trying to catch to bring inside and then find homes.

Perfect tent. Quick setup and take down. Takes a few trys to get used to taking it down but very happy.

Great tent for 1 person, pops up instantly and requires 4 stakes at the bare minimum (all included). Took less than 30 seconds to fold up with the photo instructions, very compact and lightweight. Only issue is that it condensates overnight, leading to a Dewey morning inside the tent, manageable if you’re only using it to sleep. Can’t wait to use it again!
