I bought this tent in December of '2018, and then COVID hit. So, it sat unused for four years. I plan on camping this winter, so I decided to do a dry-run setting it up. In truth, at 68 years old, I was a little worried I wasn't going to be able to do it by myself. But, as advertised, it's easy to set up. And, like everybody says, the 17 tent pegs placement was the toughest part (it wasn't really). I wet the tent down and let it dry. Then folded it up. It was a little bit of a workout carrying the tent and the poles, but nothing I couldn't handle. I love my tent! It was completed in Oct '2018 and is grey in color. I was told at the time it was a 'Christmas Special' and the grey canvas was a little thicker. IDK? All I know, is it's well-made and solid when erected.

Thanks,

I’d like to thank John and Moni for their prompt attention during a warranty repair due to Nor’easter. The storm was just too much for the tent to be setup. This is the BEST TENT MADE as far as I’m concerned. And they honor their WARRANTY and the SERVICE is second to none. It is a pleasure to own this tent. I hope they never change.

Easy to set up and enough room for my cot a chair, my clothes bins a little end table and clothes rack. I did get the mist effect when it rained. I woud recomend buying the rain fly. Im going to get one now. I did have a very small amount of water get in the tent floor. One hand towel cleaned it up. When i took the tent down there was water under it so the small amount that got in was alot less than what could have.overall i love the tent. The door was a little difficult to get in and out of.

We just took this tent on our first outing and had a wonderful experience. Not only is every component beautiful, they are also clearly of high-quality, and the whole system together is extremely simple to put together. We were very comfortable during our stay and received many compliments and inquiries of where to get a tent like ours!

My girl and I went camping at lookout mountain while hang gliding. The tent felt like a home away from home. We put 2 cots in there and had room for our duffle bags, small table and battery station, with a nice area in
between. She especially enjoyed the extra storage hangers. I bought a thin carpet to make it more cozy. The heavy duty zippers are solid. Really enjoyed the screened windows. I got a few comments from people saying how they liked my tent. This isn’t some throw away tent. It’s an investment that will last a lifetime.

I just bought my 8 th Springbar Tent !
And I want to buy my 9 th. !!!!
Please bring back the original Big Door with Horizontal Zippers!
I Have Been Patiently Waiting For A Long Time!

I purchased my 10 by 10 tent in 2008 for about $700. Have made great camping memories. The tent has held up well. However the aquilles heel has been the floor with two seams. I've tried the liquid water sealants to no avail. Nothing is more frustrating than to wake up with water on the floor after a storm. I'm glad Springbar made the change to a seamless floor. I don't know if all tents at that time were made with the two floor seams or mine was a fluke. That was definitely a bad idea. Springbar should also consider a "D" door option. The inverted "T" was ok when I was younger but now that I'm in my 70 s, it's a pain to open and close.

Me and my girl have gone to multiple camping music festivals and each one has had a 60 to 80 mph wind thunderstorm. You can always build a trench to redirect the water. You can always stick pool noodles in the corner of your canopy, but if the wind takes your tent, you just lost all your clothing for the weekend and after setting this tent up three times so far I can say it’s not going anywhere fast solid structure quality build what market I ask for. Honestly, the fact that they have it in a 10 x 10 makes it perfect for any campsite or camping festival. good stuff spring bar.

First of all, zero regrets with getting this model. I watched videos of the setup and it’s really simple. I set it up pretty much in the dark with zero issues. Maybe 20 minutes setup.The entry door is angled like the side walls so they get wet, when you enter and exit you are bound to get a little wet. The rainfly option on the traveller changes this. The actual color Bison is almost a shade of forest army green. It’s more closer to army green than a dark brown, (it looks like dark brown in photos). It is also much darker color than some green canvas tarps I had around.

This tent did not leak when set up for the first time, it rained overnight. At night the walls appear black but the light color of the ceiling lets in plenty of light. One of the reasons I went with such a dark color is because of in certain areas you can catch a stray headlight late at night. But most importantly the dark canvas makes it so you are not backlit when inside the tent.

This is a lifetime purchase, and a quality product. I bought this for mainly car camping, and festivals it’s perfect for that.

First trip in the Traveler was wonderful, the tent is indeed very high quality canvas and surprisingly soft to the touch. The fabric does block wind well, but It's hot in Texas so I'll have to remember to face the screens into the wind next trip. I'm never satisfied with low-quality things, and really hated sleeping in a plastic nylon tent that sounded like a garbage bag in the wind. Did my research and Springbar seemed like the logical choice for a long lasting investment. Given that Springbar has a lifetime warranty, and a repair program for hopefully most damages, I feel safe spending the money.

Finally got to use my new Traveler. Spacious. Bomb proof. First night in it and the mountain winds didn't move it an inch. Quality throughout. A breeze to set up solo and pack away. Very pleased. Bags for the tent and poles could use a better mechanism for carrying. Note to future furst time tent setter uppers. Position the door of the tent towards the direction you would like to enter the tent from prior to staking it all down. I was racing sunset and set my door directly in front of a bush. 🤣

I've only been on one trip so far but it held up to 30mph gusts like a champ on that trip. It was pretty easy to put up by myself and I love all the room I have now.

I set up my new Traveler for the first time. This is a well made tent. I love the Bison color.

I’ve been camping for over 65 years, starting with a canvas cabin tent, then an umbrella canvas, onto a synthetic umbrella and now this Springbar Traveler. So glad to be back to a natural material and a tent with real quality. My only suggestion would be to build a storm fly that would work in conjunction with the awning and portico panels. I’ve been able to jury rig it and intend to eventually modify the fly so it fits the tent with the awning up and the panels in place. It should be made clear in the literature that the Stormfly is not intended to be used with the awing and side panels. Otherwise, this is a great tent and we look forward to to many happy adventures no matter the weather.

Been using the Traveler since I bought it and it’s very easy to setup and a nice tent over all.

Had for 29 years used over 200 times by family and scouts a lot of times a week at a time still like new it’s worth over 900$ now I’m keeping it. Best damn tent made!

We just received our tent a week ago set it up immediately! It’s really lovely. The stitching is perfect. The tempt went together exactly as the video described. The floor to ceiling windows caught the breeze perfectly and the vinyl floor is very smooth and soft. Taking down the tent was just as easy. We love that. We don’t have a plastic tent with fiberglass poles that are going to break imminently. We love that it’s breathable canvas and also made in the USA!

I'm a lifelong tent camper and was looking for a single person setup tent now that the kids are on their own. The Traveler is extremely well made, easy setup, and as wind and resistant as advertised. I see a family camper or skyliner next.

I bought this tent probably 20 years ago. It has taken me from the desert to the mountains, now to the beach. I take good care of it and it still looks like new. We sleep three guys on fishing trips with a portable AC inside and still have room to get dressed. I was reading some reviews on folks who just got one or had one for a few trips and figured I would throw this in. Rain, snow, heat, no better tent out there.

I got this tent in 2016 and camped in all seasons. Wins, rain, Wyoming snow. During the summer of 2020 my husband and I had to move in with my MIL and it was cramped quarters so we pitched the spring bar in the back yard. We brought a mattress , a dresser, a rug, and an extension cable and lived in that sucker for three months in the Nevada sun. A godsend. I love this freaking tent

Displeased

I went camping with a friend. I had a Cabela’s tent. He had a Springbar tent, big micro storm come up. Mine started leaking the Springbar tent never leaked to drop so I bought me a new one Springbar traveler so I haven’t used it yet. Set it up really nice tent looking forward to using it. I may have should’ve got the 10 x 14 the travelers a 10 x 10 I probably should’ve gotten one little bit bigger, but that’ll work.

I saved up forever for this tent. It was worth every cent. Despite crazy winter weather patterns here in Bend (Oregon), I set the Traveler up in the yard the day after it arrived. I am a long-time, nylon tent, camper. I will never go back to nylon! Love my Springbar!
