Originally produced in 1969, the Leisure Port was prized by boaters camping on the wind swept beaches of Lake Powell due to its resilience in high winds and its generous shade in hot weather. With a wide range of applications and set-up variations ranging from sun shade, to screen house, to storm shelter, the Leisure Port is ideal in the mountains, beach, or backyard.

I cannot believe how roomy this tent feels inside! I am a single lady and have no trouble setting this tent up by myself. It is truly the glamping tent of my dreams!
The leisure port tent is a perfect shelter to have my fish processing area during the salmon fishing season. I go camping for weeks and I used to have a canopy for my kitchen and fish processing but it was always a concern when hail or snow start falling during late fall season. The Leisure Port is solid and It will take the drastic weather changes in the Ontario lake area.
I've been using this tent for my kitchen/workspace/etc on a climbing trip in rural Wyoming for the past few weeks. It's been a fantastic shade and wind shelter, very sturdy, and easy to set up. I wish the accessory panels were still available in the gen 1 color way, (or that the tent just came with 4 of each instead of 2 and 2). Will probably end up picking a set of them up in the new color way anyhow.
i set it up in the yard when i got it and have been enjoying it ever since.
As a matter of fact I'm writing this in it now, and since the weather is so nice
i think I'll sleep in it again tonight. So yeah, five stars. Just like my campsite 3 tent.
I had this on my “wishlist”, half intending to order it next year, but with the sale on Gen 1’s, I couldn’t resist. As always, quality is top-notch. First use went through passing T-storms with winds that a cheap canopy wouldn’t handle. Used many configurations: Fully closed can be heated, one side canopied out makes a good lean-to wind-break, both sides canopied for tons of shaded open space. I even left the canvas panels zipped onto the canopy on one side and winged them down to unextended poles for extra rain protection. They handled rain and wind beautifully. When enclosed, the bottom doesn’t touch the ground enough to keep bugs out but if you guy it down by the guy points at the springbars it meets the ground well. It is a little difficult to stake it back into position when you want to go from canopied to closed. I recommend finding a way to mark the points on the ground before you pull the stakes to put up the canopy. I REALLY wish I could have purchased the matching panels but they were already permanently out of stock. I’ll have to settle for a mid-matched Dune set when they come back in stock so we can heat it in the cold months. I intend to use it as a heated camp kitchen that I can open up at night so if the bears get curious, they can walk through without tearing into an actual tent.
Once again, Springbar impresses with their quality and timeless design. (Also not as heavy as the CJ100)
