Suisse Sport Yosemite Tent

This was our first tent purchase, and we’ve found it to be a very good entry level tent. I like the inside height that allows me at 5′8″ to stand upright, and the room divider allows for a little privacy, but since it’s just a curtain, it’s also easy to remove and open up the whole tent. With the double doors and three windows, as well as the mesh top under the rain fly, it’s got pretty decent ventilation. I wouldn’t say this is a four season tent, as the nylon taffeta is a little thin for cool weather camping, but it handles rain well. I did seam seal and waterproof the rain fly and tent before we camped the first time, as I was told by experienced campers that’s the best way to ensure dry camping, and I’ve no complaints. It’s not too difficult for me to put up by myself in 20-30 minutes, but with help, we can get it up in 10 minutes easy. I didn’t give it a 5 star rating because it has pole sleeves to thread the poles through (clips are better), the stakes it comes with are pathetic, it has little in the way of gear pouches and no power access. You can fit two queen air mattresses in the tent with a little space at the feet for gear, but it’s a tight fit, and heavy rain may condense on the inside of the tent from the pressure against the walls. One queen and a twin air mattress work better, reducing sleeping capacity to three adults, but decreasing tension against the walls and increasing storage and standing space in the tent. Finally, the bag it comes in holds all the parts of the tent plus has room for my mallet and extra stakes, and has a carry handle to make transporting it more easily. I highly recommend this tent for a beginner or occasional camper.

The size is 8′ X 10′ Yosemite Tent from Suisse Sport.

In the picture it looks smaller than it is. In my house it looks super big!

I always do a dry run and set up any camping item before the big trip.

Usually this is done outside, the kids wanted to help me do it inside and not only is this a great tent it is the worlds largest slumber party, dog and doll house. Check out the pictures.

The tent is a two room tent, my first reaction was this tent is not big enough for two room and I still think that it is more of a divider or curtain than actual 2 rooms.

We set up this tent in about 5 minutes and did not even look at the directions, two poles fold out with shock cord and you put them through the sleeves and plug in the pins and the tent is built.

After that they have a peaked fly (which is actually coated very well more like a rain jacket than a cheap fly) On the box it says 600 mm coating, I hope to never need to use any tent in the rain but being from Oregon that is a dream!

Positives:

Lots of very large window with nice zippers, it took us longer to unzip all the windows than to set up the tent. This is nice because camping venting is so important.

Split front window gives lots of lighting and privacy options.

Quality poles and floor is tub style for protection from the elements.

Cool electrical cord access port, most campsites have some power options and this will work great.

Improvements:

The divider should be called a curtain, it is a weak divider but an excellent curtain… to be a divider it would need to zip in and shut off the rooms in a bigger tent this would be a issue.

Steel pegs are adequate but you would be happier with some aftermarket stakes.

Carry case is just average, I bet a small duffle bag would hold this and a couple of air mats.

Overall:

Great tent, easy set up, if we can get it out of the house a camping trip is in our future….

5 Stars.
