## Description

The Crane Creek 2 Person Tent offers 42 square feet of comfortable, reliable shelter that’s ideal for camping and backpacking. When its durable, seam taped polyester fly is equipped, this lightweight tent becomes fully waterproof without sacrificing air circulation. Additionally, the tent's vents can be propped open for ventilation if heat builds up inside the tent. The Crane Creek is equipped with two large, D shaped doors for easy access, and two spacious overhead vestibules that provide plenty of space for storing gear. Inside, you’ll find a seam taped floor to prevent leaks when conditions get stormy.

Review: Not Ultralight, but great Backpacking Tent! - Took this for a 3 week, 150 mile backpacking trip. Still feels brand new. Used it every night. If you're more concerned with a reliable, comfortable tent - this is a great backpacking tent. By breaking up the items into their own stuff bags, I was able to easily fit the tent, footprint and stakes inside my backpack. Only the poles had to be stashed on the side of my bag. It's not ultra light - but it withstood wind of up to 60mph (with the guy lines staked out and all stakes having rocks on top of them) on the top of a mountain. Also held up well in snow, light hail, and lots of thunderstorms. Never got wet inside, even with sideways rain. The 2p comfortably fit myself and my gear completely inside. The two doors and vestibules were nice - would keep my pack in one vestibule in good weather, and use the other as my door. Enough room to stretch, change clothes, roll out muscles, and generally be dry, warm and comfy. Private and not transparent. No condensation. Leave the rain fly off on warm, dry nights for a great breeze. Best part is by the end of the trip I could set up and break down the tent in about 2 minutes by myself. In bad weather or emergencies, this is a great feature. Tent stakes did bend fairly easily in rocky ground like most aluminum hook stakes, but still work. That's the only damage I managed to inflict on this tent.
Review: Built to last. - I ordered this tent as a replacement for the Marmot limelight 2P that I have been using now for over a decade. While my old tent is still worthy and in service, I felt it was time for a new one. This version is a welcome upgrade of my original. The quality is exceptional, tape job on the seams are spot on, the zippers are solid and open / close effortlessly. The best improvement is a second door and a second vestibule ( slightly smaller than the main one). Everything about this tent is solid and well worth the carrying weight. If it is anything like my current model (and I suspect it is) it will hold up to strong winds using the provided guylines and will stay high and dry in the heaviest rain. The only complaint I have ( if I can have one) is it only comes with 4 guylines and 6 tent stakes. I like to personally use more, but it is sufficient for most situations. I recommend this item without reservation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be pitched with only the foot-print, poles and rain fly?**
A: If I understand your question correctly I’d say yes it could be done. There is nothing to connect the rain fly to the poles but the footprint has it’s own connectors to snap in with the rain fly and poles then the poles would just free stand with the rain fly over them. Also the poles are one piece connecting at the top so I’d think even in a strong wind this set up would work.

**Q: What is the packed size of the tent? ( in the stuff sack ) !**
A: Very easily packed in my 45 L bag however I bungied it on the outside of my backpack! Very lightweight for the size tent it is.

**Q: I want to purchase 12 for our Boy Scout troop, can it be done?**
A: I love this tent. It can accommodate 2 people comfortably. If you have the money, go for it

**Q: ¿Es posible que el vendedor abra y vea el producto antes de enviarlo? De ese modo, estaría seguro que el producto viene en buenas condiciones.**
A: Si, ayuda

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grommet grenade
*by E***N on May 1, 2025*

Amazing tent, kept me dry and had enough room for myself and all my gear. Was easy to set up but i had a lot of issues with the zippers snagging everything. Unfortunately on my first go with it i was setting it up and one of the grommets for the poles blew and the tent fell over. Was able to finish the weekend without it but i feel its necessary to have.
