Happy to spend the money for a great American made product. Excellent customer service. Promt.
READ!! Set the tent up in my backyard when I first received it. Everything looked and seemed fine. First trip out was a trout fishing in Missouri first of June. Down pours each night. Almost evacuated the first mornin was evacuated the second morning. Tent was easy enough to tear down in a timely manner to get out. As far as the tent in the rain, just a few drops in the tent “no tent treatment was applied before going out. Great tent! Easy to set up, tear down and room!
The only thing I would change is that the poles for the awnings to have a longer end for the loop connections and more holes in them for adjustment. Great tent! Best one I have ever owned!!
Bad ass . Great tent and stove easy set up. Stove and tent complete set up 45 minutes first time two guys. Had watched videos a few times .
We went out on a trial run with the Classic Jack 140 into the nearby mountains. 2 people and 2 hounds.
Setup was easy and straightforward and no flaws or defects were noted. Everything worked flawlessly!
Got the rest of camp set up and enjoyed the day, evening and turned in around 9. At midnight, the thunderstorm and wind hit! Wasn’t forecast more than a little “light” rain. Ended up with 2” in the rain gauge and 30mph winds.
That said, most restful night I’ve ever spent outside. Tent held up with no problems, not a single leak, and best of all, we didn’t wake up all clammy like when in a nylon tent, even with all the rain. So far, so good!
Definite improvement over a debris hut!!!
As a family of four (and counting), we love this tent. My wife and I decided to buy quality and we are so glad we did. The tent has tons of room for myself, wife, 1 young child and the pack n play for the baby, and there is more room to grow. The build quality is incredible. You can tell it's build for a life time.
We even had an issue with the tent where Springbar accidentally included the spring bars for the Skyliner. We were rather disappointed since we had planned a weekend trip to try out the new tent. We emailed customer service with pictures and they overnighted the correct bars to us so we could still go on our trip!
Excellent tent and excellent customer service. You will not be disappointed.
The Leisure Port is my first Springbar product and before buying it, I had never even seen a Springbar tent up close. After researching extensively, watching setup videos, and emailing Springbar’s customer service with questions, I decided to take the plunge. Based on everything I learned, I was expecting a high-quality product. The Leisure Port didn’t disappoint.
This is an exceptionally well-crafted piece of gear. The attention to detail is evident in everything from the stitching to the thoughtfully designed carry bags. It’s hard to imagine saying this about camping gear but it’s just a beautiful structure!
I’ve now used the Leisure Port on four trips, totaling seven nights. I use it as a shelter for my swag tent, allowing me to keep the swag tent open regardless of the weather.
Setup was fairly straightforward the first time, though there was a bit of a learning curve. I had to laugh when the instructions said, “Set it up as you would a Springbar tent!”—since I didn’t have a Springbar tent. I even tried to convince my wife that I needed to order a Springbar tent just to learn the setup. That didn’t fly. Yet! Still, by the second time, I had it up in half the time.
There are a few quirks, like the shape of the floor space. Plus I couldn’t understand why people talked about removing the floor—until my first night in heavy wind and rain. Now I check the forecast and remove the floor when rough weather is expected otherwise rain will blow in, get trapped on top of the very durable floor, and pool at the lowest point. On my last trip, I added a 15x15 tarp over the top, and that solved the rain issue completely. It’s now the perfect setup for my needs in any kind of weather.
To “fix” the quirks I mentioned, Springbar would have to turn this into a tent—which would defeat the purpose entirely. As it stands, the Leisure Port is a brilliant, adaptable shelter, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
If there’s one regret, it’s that I didn’t discover Springbar sooner. After years of buying big-box family tents that wore out after about a decade or sooner depending on usage, I now realize it would’ve been cheaper—and much more satisfying—to invest in a high-quality Springbar tent from the start. Based on the quality of the Leisure Port, I’m confident it would still be in use today
