Has anyone used the Coleman "Instant Up Tent " ?
It is a new product in their lineup.
Six months ago a small vendor was displaying a fairly durable and expensive line of tents at Costco that look similar in design to the new Coleman Instant Up Tent. I have been trying to find them on the internet, but to no avail.
The Coleman product is cheaper but clearly is not made of the same materials.
My camping tents have been the 3 season quictent 2 man 1 room tent. I gave it to my son and now I wish I had it back.
My last boating/tent trip we got caught in fowl weather the last 2 days. I set up my Quick Shade canopy over my tent and we stayed dry but it took two structures to do that.
Hoping for experiences with an instant up tent.

Answer
My friend is using peaktop family tent, a valuable tent,easy to set up and portable.
We used an "instant up" tent for a few years and enjoyed it. The rain fly was not great but we live in the desert so didn't much care. I could never get the hang of twisting it "just so" to get it back into its bag but my wife as adept at it. The biggest gripe I had was that when it was stowed it was still bigger than I liked; not convenient for stowing in a car's trunk but ok for a pickup bed. When our last one got worn we just bought a regular rectangular tent.

custer state park camping SD.??

at custer it says you pay a fee per camping unit.. it says a camping unit is vehicle, motor home, camper, tent. etc.. So IF we bring a camper and our car. will they charge us two fees. does that sound right. that doesnt sound right because that way everyone has to pay 2 fees who the heck sleeps in their car almost everyone will have a tent or pop up of some sort. also do you think if i have 3 tents that connect to each other thru little tunnels is that considered 3 tents or 1. im so confused? its sounds crazy to me.
Answer
My family and I have camped in CSP many times as well as other SD State Parks. It's my understanding you wonder if you'll have to pay for more than one vehicle and/or more than one sleeping unit. Your car or truck you arrive in is not included as a camper unit unless it's an obvious area to sleep. If you are able to park your vehicle on the parking pad, not on the grass, and pitch your tent or assemble your camper on the site you'll be fine. A tent that connects to another tent should still be defined as a "tent" not "tents". We have a pop-up and our girls enjoy the 12'x12' tent we pitch for them on the same site with no extra charges. I can't see any problems with your situation. You'll be fine. Oh. Don't worry about Rattlesnakes but keep a safe distance from the buffalo, they really are "wild". The Park will be one you'll never forget, I promise.
