It's a nice tent! I'm very satisfied. Goes up easy once it's staked into the ground wind has little effect.

This tent is incredibly easy to set up. It comes with the fly and footprint. I've added the PawPrint for not just the dog but easy cleaning. It snaps right in. I love the openness and didn't realize, until the first time I used it, all the little pockets and tabs to hang my lantern, etc. I opted for the three person for the versatility of taking the dog and there is PLENTY of room. It's only a bummer when I need to use the rainfly--the light, airy mesh makes it feel like you're not in a tent but gives you enough privacy, when you need/want it. Packs up super easy, too. Yes, my only complaint is the same as others: one-way single zipper. There are two doors, tho. I would 100% recommend this tent.

I bought this tent about a year ago. Mostly bought it because it's cute, bit quickly realized there's a lot of things I don't like about this tent, however, I will continue to use it! When initially setting this tent up, I noticed how flimsy the poles were, even with the fly tie offs. If you got caught in a windstorm, this thing would fall apart. Then trying to get into the tent is difficult. This is my first tent in this style, but I found myself having to get on hands and knees just to reach the single zippered door. Not fun, especially if you dont have a mat to keep mud off of you. Give me a double zipper next time or a bigger vestibule I can fit under! Next, connecting the floor print to the inside of the tent is impossible! There's no snaps, cinches, nothing! I had to haphazardly tie the floorprint to the small loops in the corners and hope it stays put. Finally, during my first trip with it there was an unexpected rain shower that ended up soaking the bottom of our tent, even with a tarp underneath. Will likely use this tent for dryer areas, that aren't very windy. Or use it as extra storage for food and camp gear I want semi-protected depending on the weather.

I bought this the end of last season and have since used it for some yard camping prior to field testing away from home. I had hesitations over durability being a one-pole model and holding up to rambunctious mid-sized dog, but with the high ceiling and nearly vertical walls, there is plenty of space for everyone to stay happy. The paw-print keeps the floor safe from nail tears. Tent holds up well to strong sustained winds hour after hour, but have not yet rain tested it. Looking forward to extended use this summer!

My first Nemo purchase and it rocks. Quality through out, great design and a fair price for what you get. Also purchased the pawprint for camping with my puppy.

I bought this tent a year ago for me, one other person and my 75lb dog. The three of us fit in it with all our stuff and room to spare. It's SO easy to assemble and then pack up. I love the big open doors and having the ability to either leave the fly off to take in the sights or put the fly on for added privacy. I'm super happy with this purchase. It's a quality tent and my little home away from home.

My partner and I recently sized up to a 3 person tent, and the Aurora crushes it. It has the perfect amount of space even for 3 people, and all the nick nacks that come standard with NEMO products make the Aurora a comfortable convenient experience. I stick by brands when they make great products and stand by them. NEMO does that and more. In the end, the Aurora is perfect for my adventures.

Used once so far and love it. Super easy to setup, plenty of room for two people and gear, and light considering size.

Just finished a camping trip up in Colorado, and this tent did the trick! Simple and intuitive setup. I like how everything has it's own storage bag- the stakes, poles, and tent/rainfly/footprint. One person can do it solo. Once setup, the tent was very sturdy, and held up to some strong winds. Rainfly did great in a brief rainstorm our last night- no issues with leaking. Inside, I had more than enough room for all of my supplies. The cross pole makes it super spacious inside. The mesh pockets are useful, and I like the little stints on the side that you can prop up to increase air circulation. The color and design of the tent is aesthetically pleasing, and I got several compliments on it. Didn't go backpacking with it, so I can't comment on that, but it does feel nice and light and packs down fairly compactly, especially considering it's a 3P tent. I couldn't give it 5 stars is because there are only one-way zippers on the entrances. I'm used to having two-way zippers, so this will take some getting used to. It's somewhat inconvenient to only have one direction to open/close the entrances. Overall though, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

This is an absolute car camping must. My wife and I absolutely love having this tent as part of our kit, it has plenty of room in it for her and I as well as much gear as we can bring. Also its enought that if you didnt have a backpacking specific tent you could manage with this. I love it for when I'm looking for an easy weekend car camping trip that's comfortable.

We just took our new tent on a camping trip this weekend, and it rained almost constantly for 2 days. Despite having gear against four walls, not a drop of water made its way in. There are also many well thought-out pockets and features throughout the tent
