After a week of camping in a small REI Trail Hut 2 tent (which is a wonderful tent) and enduring some heavy downpour, we decided to upsize to get a bit more space and comfort. I spent hours reading every review available and watching every video found on Acacia and other comparable tents, including Gazelle. In the end, we went for Acacia. Honestly, we were a bit skeptical about it getting such rave reviews but are now believers.
The tent is such a top quality, it makes it worth every penny spent. We purchased the core 2-person tent and the canopy. The tent is really a 2-person tent with some extra space on both sides. However, it oozes with quality and features. It is so easy to set up; the fabric is thick and every little detail seems to be thought out (even down to providing clear instruction booklets and color-coding all components and storage bags). There are so many configurations one can make from the tent and the canopy. You can have it open for clear and warm summers; you can use the rainfly for not-so-rainy days or nights; you can install the canopy for superior rain protection yet super ventilation; and you can close the canopy tightly around the tent for cold nights and warmth preservation.
Often, little details are what matters. Most of the camping gear we owned has storage bags that are so tight, that you really must pack the gear very tight to fit. One thing we love about Acacia is that they made all storage bags extra large, so that you don’t have to pack everything so tight to fit.
The tent is heavy, sure. But it’s not designed for backpacking. It’s OK to carry a short distance from your vehicle.
We can easily stand up inside it, with me being 6’ 1”. That’s very nice for dressing and undressing.
Roof windows for the night sky…wall windows which can be opened or shut…screen door for ventilation and panel door for privacy and weather protection…even stakes that are thick and sturdy…love it all!
Lastly about Acacia support…we are equally pleased here. They are extremely helpful and super-fast responding. I’d give them 5 out of 5.
