Way overkill for size but my wife and I got the 6 person tent from Costco and that size is honestly great! We also take the dog and have space for what we want in the tent.
They're basically the same. If you're getting into camping and want an easy to setup good all around tent to test the waters before dropping a lot more money, both are great choices. I personally had the Core for three years before wanting to upgrade to something a little higher end and that could be brought on an airplane, and I went with the North Face Wawona 6.
The cabin tent i have is a bit pricey like over 200$ but Its huge and I was able to set up it myself. Im five foot nothing so it was difficult but if I was a bit taller it wouldve been easy. So far it holds up in high winds and is spacious. Its Core 6 person instant cabin tent. Its basically a pop up tent. I can fit a buccees foldable table, a chair, 2 laundry baskets, and a cot in here.
It’s for camping with children in nice weather . It’s a spacious 6 person tent for ~ $200 that folds up and one person can set it up in 60 seconds.
I’ve never taken mine in the rain, but it has held up to 30-something mile an hour winds on a couple occasions.
I bought the Core Instant Cabin Tent 6 person, honestly, good quality, very comfortable. If you are camping in UAE, I would recommend Outdoorlife UAE, they offer frequent discounts on their website.
Everything on the planet has its good and bad. What my personal experience is, I am a UAE-based camping enthusiast. I chose the Core Lighted Instant Cabin Tent from OutdoorLife UAE. The tent was really worthy and very premium compared to the other brands in the UAE. Setup is really quick, thanks to the pre-attached poles, and it holds up well in rain with solid ventilation, so it doesn’t feel stuffy inside.
Yeah, I’ve got a couple Core ones that have done me good for a few years now. If I’m spending that on a tent that size it better be instant up. I set mine up in under 5 min, both my 6 person and 9 person.
Idk about these other people experience, but I have two core tents and have had them both in serious rain and wind conditions and neither of them leaked. Obviously don’t set them up in a depression and use a tarp underneath. I have the 6 man and although yeah you could probably jam 2 queen size air mattresses in there don’t expect to be walking anywhere in it. 2 cots with a small table in between gives plenty of room to stand and get changed. I’ve also got a 9 person that fits one queen air mattress and and two cots pretty comfortably. They go up quick and have been pretty durable, I’ve had them multiple years at this point and go camping multiple times a year.
