Hey guys :-) Where did you buy the tent? Any links? I cant seem to find it, would love to purchase

[@droux100]

So it's been many years since we camped but a few days ago I went and bought one of these tents which we'll be taking out for the first time in two weeks time. We did set it up in the garden yesterday to familiarise ourselves with the set up process and to ensure that all the poles, pegs, etc. were there. My 12 year old grandson assisted me to assemble the tent and we were done in about 20 minutes. This tent has space galore and is value for money! So far I am extremely happy with this purchase. Can't wait to spend a weekend away in it in 2 weeks time. I have a smaller Campmaster tent and have never had issues with leakage so hoping that the 820 will meet expectations.

[@deriusnorris4463]

think about utilising mayo lids or something similar under your table so it doesn't create holes in the groundsheet. keep on camping. thanks for the video.

[@SEDMvlogs]

OH MY! This tent is MASSIVE! I would totally love to get this. My kind of camping ;) so much room I wouldnt know what to do with all that room LOL. However I do LOVE the organizer in there. So cool it has two bedrooms but very cool what you guys made it into :) Love it guys!

Thank you for this review. Just bought this tent today. Can't wait to use it. We are also tall people and I want to stand up right

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Glad it was helpful! Let us know what you guys think when you have used it :) This tent was one of our absolute best purchases ever.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Thats a really nice setup. I remember the old old one. This one is as lots of nice features for sure. Love to see how this thing holds up on your adventures.

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Thank you, Chris :) So far, so good. We have only gotten to use it twice so far, once in higher winds, and we are thrilled to the gills. Will keep you posted though :)

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Thalia and John nice, thanks so much

It is so fantastic. The separate areas help with organisation, and the layout of the tent is fantastic.

Thanks Thalia and John, for this informative video. We just purchased one and was wondering if it was the right thing to do. Your video vindicates our decision.

Our pleasure! We could not recommend this tent more - everything about it is FANTASTIC! Let us know what you think when you have used it :)

Thank you :) Those pockets are amazing - we didn't know it had those pockets until we set it up for the first time, and I just about jumped out of my skin with excitement

[@RoughingItWithRuth]

Thanks for the review! I've been hearing really positive things about the Camp Master brand lately - I'll definitely need to check them out!

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Thanks for checking it out, Ruth :) We are LOVING our new camp master products - next week Sundays video (7 May) will have another Camp Master Product in the video. P.S. We are not sponsored by them in any way. Just loving their products, ha!

Cool video and tent! How long more or less is the setup time for this family cabin 820 tent?

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Hello :) Thank you for your comment :) It takes the two of us about 10 minutes to put up, and about 12 minutes to take down

[@hannerikruger7216]

Hi i have a question, how will this hold up in wind and rain do you reckon?

[@BarrysViews]

Now that a big tent, you could use it for a circus because it so big LOL

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Don't you know, Barry - we ARE the circus, hahahaha!

[@miasschikopah8451]

It's how much 820 tent

[@supersednus]

How's the tent holding up after 18 months? We're pretty keen on this one but I've heard a lot about Camp Master not surviving harsher conditions and having bad poles etc?

[@ThaliaShepherd]

This tent is still holding up - strongly built and great spaces. We could not recommend it more.

[@supersednus]

Thanks for the reply - we decided to get one and tested it out this weekend - really a great tent and super sturdy in heavy wind. Unfortunately our gazebo didn't survive, and put holes in our new tent when it collapsed :( Great review thanks guys you really helped us in deciding :D

[@ninageorgebenjamin3700]

I have a question, I hope you are able to provide some guidance. We recently purchased the campmaster family cabin 510. We found that it did not hold up well especially in windy weather, which actually resulted in breakage. The pole structure at the back of the above mentioned tent seems quite similar to that of the 820. How has your tent held up under harsh weather conditions? Also, what is your opinion on a 8 sleeper Dome tent also with two separate sleeping areas and a common area. I have read that dome tents are more reliable in harsh weather conditions, but it is a lot smaller than the 820, so we are torn.

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Hi Nina. Sorry to hear about your tent. So far, our 820 has held up very well in both windy and rainy conditions. I think the L shape gives it a lot of stability. Domes are known for being very stable, but you lose some space. The 820 offers both space and stability (perhaps not as much as a dome, but sufficient for our local conditions). If you are camping with your family, and want a common area that allows an indoor/outdoor setup, I would go for the 820. But if you plan on camping in harsh conditions regularly, definitely a dome. We typically try to pick decent weather days, but aren't always so lucky, but our tent has done well so far. Have absolutely loved it.

[@ren4x401]

How does it hold up in the rain? My 410 leaks through the Stitching.

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Have never had any issues in either the wind or rain

[@dewaldvisser2948]

How long wil a tent like this one last in hot sunlight? i am looking for a bigger and stronger tent then the one as to the (COLEMAN) tent i have, be-cause all my friends tel me a Coleman will only last one Month in South African weather any advice from anybody wil be appreciated.

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Hi Dewald. This tent is still holding up - strongly built and great spaces. We could not recommend it more.

[@Night0wll]

I only found this in a diff. Currency then dollars. Anyone know the price of this in dollars?

[@ThaliaShepherd]

[@LostOnLandAgain]

That's a fabulous tent, but don't you worry about animals getting into the kitchen area? Which leads me to my next question. Do you have animals like Raccoons there?

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Thank you :) We don't get raccoons or other foraging creatures here. Our biggest worry around this area is baboons but they won't break through the tent sides to get in, and we put a lock on the zipper so creatures can't luck their way in :)

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Wow, how cool! I would never keep food in my tent anywhere in the U.S. There is always some creature willing to break and enter and help themselves to lunch.

[@rogerlamb536]

Great tent, its huge! if you get time please check out some of our new video's,

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Thank you, Roger :) We checked out your new hike video - so glad you are feeling better!

[@Cre8tive81]

OMG, never ever keep, prep, store, or eat food in a tent. That is tenting basics 101 There's a reason why people use gazebos. Otherwise, nice.

[@ThaliaShepherd]

Hi. Thank you for your message. We have never heard this before. Please let us know why not to do this?

[@Cre8tive81]

There are many sources online that say the same thing. It comes down to personal property damage, safety and having food for yourself when getting back from a hike etc. rather than feeding the local wildlife. If you've never had a break in by any critter big or small, consider yourself lucky. Generic tips include, lock inside a car away from where you sleep.. hang in a tree.. or place into a bear bin (works for all animals). www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/food-handling-storage.html campingmastery.com/how-to-store-food-camping/

[@lwest3137]

100%. Small animals can eat through the tent walls just to gain entry. They will enter while you sleep just to gain access to your food. Also, keeping food or cooking tools (anything with a food scent) can attract larger animals that could turn a happy camping trip into a dangerous risk. Other than this, the set up looks absolutely lovely. Really the only change I would consider is a separate food prep/storage area. ☺

[@PagesAndPolish]

Great review. Looks like an awesome tent.
