You could easily spend over $500 on a high-end tent for camping, but if you’re just starting out on your outdoor adventures, it makes sense to try something a little cheaper before risking everything. That’s why this Marnur tent is a great buy. Not only is it a small investment, but it’s also easy to set up and take down. There are no poles or rain covers to mess with, just unfasten the buckle on the strap and throw it on the ground — it’ll automatically assemble itself. The tent uses telescoping poles to hold it up, and is made of a tough polyester shell with a polyethylene-lined tub base with welded corners and taped seams to help keep water out. Two doors and side windows provide good ventilation, and a closable port on the side lets you easily bring an extension cord into the tent to power fans, power a display, or charge devices.
Satisfied shoppers loved how easy the tent was to set up. “Putting up a tent has never been easier,” one person said, while another said, “It only took us a few minutes to figure out how to put the tent back together and put it in the bag.”

Others loved the tent’s size and features. “It’s nice and spacious—perfect for my needs,” one shopper said. “It even has a cot that I put in it.” Another shopper commented, “It has all the amenities we wanted and we’re happy with it.”
It also seems to perform well in rainstorms, with happy campers saying it's “durable, high-quality and performed very well in torrential rain. Definitely waterproof.”
If you’re planning a camping adventure and don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a top-notch shelter, this pop-up tent is a great choice. For just $70, you get plenty of space for a few campers without any setup or packing headaches. This deal won’t last forever, so make sure to grab yours soon.
