Yes , I recommend this product
I couldn’t be happier with this 3-person tent! From the very first setup, it was easy to assemble. Plenty of headroom and did not feel cramped inside. The standout feature is the large vestibule. It easily held all of our backpacks, boots, and left extra space for our pup to move around!
