MARMOT Crane Creek 2P/3P Tents & Footprints

Just purchased and used for two nights in Everglades National Park. Pretty hot and humid fall weather with milder evenings. I did experience some condensation trapped in the outer lining at dawn. Overall, it is a really good tent. Lightweight and easy to pack with fast setup. I plan to use it when I eventually kayak camp out in the back country remote sites. You do need a footprint with this tent. The bottom is really thin and will probably tear/puncture if pitched unprotected on anything other than clean sand.

This is the best tent I’ve ever owned. Bought it about 6 months ago, and I use it at least once a month for at least 2-3 nights each time. In heavy rains, absolutely nothing makes it in. It stays incredibly warm in the winter as well. It’s small and compact, but large enough to fit everything in. It easily fits into my backpack or camping tote and weighs almost nothing. Everything is well-stitched and I anticipate it will last many years.

La compré de oferta y recomiendo esperarla siguiente oferta, la veo seguido rebajada.
Por el precio es muy buena tienda, se siente de calidad, la usé en la Joya en el Iztaccihuatl a temperatura baja (alrededor de 2°C) y no se sintió nada de frío adentro, aparte nos cayó una granizada y el viento soplaba un poco fuerte, la tienda se mantuvo firme y seca por dentro, sin ningún problema.
Cabe destacar que el suelo es algo delgado por lo que recomiendo usar una lona o alguna protección extra debajo y las estacas que trae son de calidad algo baja, y sólo trae 6, las cuales no alcanzan si quieres estacar las cuerdas para añadir estabilidad para el viento, fuera de eso la tienda es muy buena, un poco pesada pero aceptable.

I’ve used this tent for dozens of 2-4 day backpacking trips for almost a decade. The 3p tent fits 2 adults very comfortably with space for gear. This is not an ultralight product but the comfort is worth the weight, bulk and price. The zippers still work like new. Setup is easy with hooks instead of sleeves. I’ve had no problems with condensation. No parts are broken or torn. Inside it has 5 pouches including 1 on the ceiling. There are felt hooks and a plastic hook to hang things from the ceiling.

I’ve always carried this tent on the outisde of an external frame pack. It is large for a 60L pack. I’ve never split the load between 2 people but that would probably work.

Like all 3p tents on the market, 3 adults will not fit comfortably in this tent. I like to sleep and camp comfortably in all weather conditions so this is perfect for me.

I’ve never had water in the tent. If the tent is going to be in steady rain for 12+ hours, use an additional tarp over the tent as you should for all tents. But it is still waterproof under normal conditions.

I plan on using this tent forever. Excellent product! Buy it!

I bought this tent for kayak camping because I wanted a larger footprint tent. This tent is a little heavy for backpacking, but carrying it in the kayak is just fine. It’s larger than most other two person tents. Others might find the lime green mesh distracting, but I like it. It’s my favorite color. Tent is well made and very easy to set up.

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.
