This Bell tent is AMAZING and AFFORDABLE. At a fraction of the cost of other Canvas Yurt / Bell / Glamping Tents on the market, this Yurt, which is made of Polyester like a traditional camping tent is LIGHTER and easier to setup at any campsite. I was able to get it setup in the mountains within 20-30 minutes and was able to have it taken down in about 18 minutes and packed away in the car. It only weighs around 25lbs and comes with a heavy duty storage bag.
One of the neatest things about this Yurt is how you FEEL like you are inside of a bedroom in the woods. It's definitely all about the GLAMPING life when you are staying inside of the Timber Ridge Yurt Tent.

Thank you for sharing set up of this tent. I was intimidated because I never saw it being constructed by anyone before you.
Great video Sir...well done 👍💜😊
I just bought this tent for my monthly nerd camp trips and I cannot WAIT to test it. This review absolutely helped determining if this tent was for me!!
Thanks for watching. You’re awesome! Have fun on your nerd camp trips 😊 let us know how it goes.
Gotta love that crv table! Great video. I just purchased mine since it went on sale. I’m excited to use it. Thank you!
Hahaha. Never thought anybody would notice that small detail. Planning to turn my old CRV into a small Overlander at some point. Maybe the table will get put back in….. 🤔
Excellent review, thanks for sharing!
We love ours! Used it for two years and three trips and between heavy rains and 30-40mph winds it held up. We did spray and water treat with a silicone spray, but it may not have needed it. Condensation can be an issue because of the material when running a tent stove. Heated pretty quickly as long as heat is consistent. We still want a canvas because of the zip out floor option and for even colder temps. But for 34 degree temp and a good sleeping bag we did okay. Great details in your video description!
Thanks for the detailed video! Helps a lot, will try mine next week!
Awesome! Let us know how it goes.
My best friend, Enjoyed watching this video my friend Really awesome views Thank you Stay connected
Thanks for the video !
I've been considering one of these for a deer hunting tent. I need something with enough height and space to hang up wet clothing @ the end of the day. The ventilation seems mice, yet the whole ceiling isn't totally mesh !
Thanks for this video. Just bought one on clearance at Sam's for the incredibly low price of only $59.99 and seeking out as much info as I can about it! 😃👍
Awesome! Wow their price keeps falling 😮. Glad you enjoyed it. Seeing how to set it up and how it works always helps me with new things. Not really an instruction book guy 😉
Enjoy your new tent!
@@TheLynchBurgers Thanks, and will definitely review your video once I get it out n such. Oh, another question. I'm considering spraying some Nikwax tent "solarproof" waterproofing on the tent before I get it out there. Think that's a good idea?
@@anthonychihuahua I haven’t done this myself, but I have heard of others doing this in the product reviews. If you haven’t looked through the Sam’s reviews yet, there’s some info there.
I don’t think coating tents in extra protection is ever a bad thing, though it’s a pretty big tent and tall when you set it up.
@@TheLynchBurgers Thanks again! And happy camping 🏕️🌞
* Just read all 28 reviews/questions in the Sam's site and I think the "Starter glamping tent" review may have been aimed your way🎯! I see the last clearance price was for 79.99 and it makes me think I should've got the last one also for 59.99 at my local Sam's, darn! You can't find flimsy Coleman tents at that price!!
oops 😬 on a phone 😊😞😮o😊 of 😅😅
Got it at Costco for $60! Thanks for the review ❤
Thank you for this video about to by the tent
Awesome! Keep us updated how you like it.
Thank you I just purchased one from Walmart for 79 dollars online sale. I see it doesn't come with a stove jack. Happy camping god bless
THE CRV TABLE! 😅 I have a little CRV camping rig and I absolutely love having the table. Great review. I just picked this up for $79 😁
Nice! I’d love to see what you’ve done with your rig. I left my table outside in the sun for a few months 🤦♂️ and now it has a warp to it. Hopefully it goes back in when I’m done getting it back running. Planning to turn mine into an overland rig sometime in the future. (If I don’t upgrade first)
So I’ve been thinking about making this tent a hot tent. I just bought it to try it out
You been hitting my closet for all those shirts? I see you too are a man of impeccable taste.
I didn’t think anybody would notice that I changed my shirt 3x for this video! Haha
Right on... getting the kids out, and off the electronics is what it's all about. Quality time will be appreciated more so later for the kids. Nice tent, curious to know how much it costs, and what materials it's made out of. Thank you for sharing. Take care. 🇺🇲
Thanks. Agreed! The tent price has fluctuated. Originally when I first saw it on the Costco website it was in the mid 200s. When I saw it in the warehouse it was $119. Sam’s Club has a slightly alternate version (from what I’ve seen it’s the same but comes in a dark carrying bag) and had it for $130 and recently $99. So it just varies.
It’s made from traditional tent material but is thicker than a normal tent since it is its own rainfly. “• Constructed of durable 150D polyester with DrySeal+ 2,000mm PU coating and rugged PE floor”
Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to answer.
@@TheLynchBurgers just picked one up for $79 at Sam's. Can't get anything even remotely similar for the price!
@@JoshWitte Sweeeeeet! Yep you can’t beat that!
Is the 13.5 foot dimension across the points or flats ?
Thank for the video, does it have No-See-Um mesh? There's a lot of midges around here so that's essential when I consider what tent to get.
Thanks for watching. As far as I understand it it does not have no-see-um mesh. Know exactly what you are talking about, but they sure are not advertising it that way.
Maybe somebody in the comments can chime in with experience. Here in California we don’t have an issue with the midges.
How many seasons is this tent rated for?
Hi! Ty for this video, couple questions...can I fit this unassembled in back of my Suv? Can I connect electricity through ports or windows? And finally does the bed come with?
Hi thanks for asking the questions and watching the review. To answer them, unassembled it fits easily in any vehicle. I would say, without measuring it it’s about 1ft wide by 1ft tall and about 3.5-4ft length in its bag. Not much bigger than any other standard camping tent.
It’s been a year since I’ve had it set up, I do believe there is an electrical port to run a cable through. If there isn’t you actually can open one of the windows slightly enough to put a cable through and do it that way. I have thought about setting up my solar panels and running a cable to the power station inside for charging.
No unfortunately the bed doesn’t come with lol. That is available at Costco and is about $150 sometimes $99 on sale. It’s very nice and has held up great.
Thanks for the review! Can you give information on your chargers (the Duracell, and another which I think you said was solar)? Thanks!
You’re welcome! Yes of course that is the Duracell Powerblock 500 and the EcoFlow River Pro they are both Solar Generators. Here is a video I did comparing both. ua-cam.com/video/BBjbSSQuDJE/v-deo.html
Just ordered this on sale, so ur review is very helpful. Some reviews mentioned room for two Queen sized mattresses, which seems feasible from ur video. Please let me know ur thoughts, as that is my intention. Great vid. Thanks for ur time.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes by my measurements 2 queen beds should fit good with room to spare. I’ve even thought about doing 2 queen beds one on each side in the configuration I show with that upside down V shape so there would be plenty of room in the front part of the tent and some empty space (hamper etc) in between the beds in back. I’d have to try that one though. They will definitely fit side by side with the pole in middle though.
@@TheLynchBurgers Thanks. That’s the exact info I needed, and I really appreciate u for taking the time to reply!
what size tarp did you use at the base? thank you for the informational video!
I can’t remember exactly. I think I used a 12 or 13ft one. I know it didn’t cover all of it, but it did help to protect. Since it’s an odd shape have to go way bigger or cut a bit and since the tent has to be spiked down unless you are going to go through the tarp it is going to get in the way.
How much space does it take when packed? Can you put a wood stove in one for winter use?
As far as space maybe 3.5ft long by 1ft around not bad at all about the size of a typical tent. This tent is made for 2-3 seasons unfortunately it’s not for winter and doesn’t have any stove jack. You could try and add one, but I think buying one made for the purpose would be better.
Saw the fan insude the tent. Did you have power at your camp site?
For that trip no we didn’t. I had a couple of portable power stations with me. On another trip we were at an RV Resort and had power but still used the power stations but kept them charged.

Not a bad review 👍 I am comparing it to the Ozark Trail Yurt tent which has way bigger windows but window covers don't zip across at top. Also that main pole in the center seems like it gets in way. I just wish they made these with more ventilation.
Let us know how that works out. If it’s the one I’m thinking of it has tent poles for the bottom part of the window frame but still has the center pole. It also looks like it takes a little longer to set up because of the extra poles.
I thought similarly, but after using it I’d say 99% of the time the center pole is just there and doesn’t really get in the way since you could fit a queen bed long ways and touch the end of the pole. It’s convenient for hanging lighting on etc too.
@@TheLynchBurgers I went with this one and absolutely love it. 👍I paid $165 camping world
But how is it in sustained rain ?
Did you not use the ground cloth with this tent?
Thanks for the watch. It does not come with a Ground Cloth or Tarp. I did use a rectangular tarp that I had bought for my other tent (which has a 9x10 footprint) which you can see laid down in the set-up portion where I'm rolling the tent. Since you must stake down all 8 angle points I had to fold a small part of 1 corner of the tarp to not get staked through.
Is this good for winter camping? I was thinking of installing a stove jack for a wood stove but not sure if the material is durable enough ?
This particular tent is made of thicker than normal nylon like a traditional tent material. You could get away with a portable heater in it, but the lack of a stove jack and it being nylon I don’t think will be great for really cold weather. I’d look at a thicker canvas one if that were the case and most of those have stove jacks already.
I would probably be ok taking this tent down to 30°F / -1°C overnight into early morning dip with a portable heater and a zero degree bag etc. but I have not tried it in that yet.
@@TheLynchBurgers thanks for your response! I was wondering because a lot of the onetigris hot tents that come with stove jacks are 70d polyester whereas this tent is 150d polyester and treated so I think it's stronger than one tigris you might have to cut a hole and put the stove jack patch on the tent if you're interested in that. If you do end up doing that for cold weather I would love to see or read about your experience! I would love a cotton canvas but it's expensive for me right now and people keep snatching them up on offer up 😭
@@remitheoccultist8091 hmm. That’s a good point! For the price of this tent if you can get it for the sale prices it would be worth a shot to try.
If you end up doing it come back and let me know how it goes!
@@TheLynchBurgers thanks! will definitely do!
This response is way late but we installed a stove jack. We couldn’t resist the option. It did keep the tent warm enough to wear shorts and a tank top while the temps where we camped were in the low 40s. The stoves are hard to manage throughout the night so a heater would be a secondary option. We just loved the ambiance the stove gave. 😁
Is your blow up bed an American queen size? We've just ordered this tent along with a uk king-size bed and we are hoping it fits! Tha ks for a great video, it helped us make our decision!
Hi there. Yes our airbed is an American queen size at 152cm x 203cm but it has an extra headboard on it which makes it even longer at 224cm. UK King = 152cm x 198cm. You should be good to go! Let us know how it goes
Do you happen to know the measurements of the windows?
Hi Joey I’m sorry not off the top of my head. I would say that they are around 2ft / 24in. Next time I have it out I’ll do a full measurement and report back.
No worries, thank you for the detailed video. Much appreciated!
Is this tent waterproof? We just purchased it over here in England, and we get rain often.
We tested ours during a two day rainstorm and it worked fine. To be on the safe side we still went over the taped seems with a sealant before our trip. If it’s windy, you may get a little in around the windows if you don’t zip them up. May get slightly humid during work rainy seasons. 😊
Have you used it in the rain yet? I'm in England also and just spotted this tent at Costco...
Any updates of this tent’s performance in rain?
Thanks for asking these questions, good stuff! Since we live in Southern California where we maybe get 36 days of rain per year, I haven't. Next time I have the tent set-up in the yard maybe I can run a rain test with the hose and update. From some reviews I had found before some people had it in the rain and in HEAVY rain it did have a little leakage, in light to moderate rain not an issue. They also said it does FANTASTIC is strong winds, which I think is the nature of the tent design and all the guy lines.
The marketing material says. " • Constructed of durable 150D polyester with DrySeal+ 2,000mm PU coating and rugged PE floor. "
The material is a little thicker than your average tent. I know some people do treat their tents with the Tent Water Sealer products, but I have no experience in that.
@@TheLynchBurgers The vents up top you showed at 2:50, are they rain proof?
@@sriontube hi there. Yes if you look at one of the outside shots you can see them. The way they are designed is with extra material to create an arch out over the vent. I have yet to have experience in the rain to really try that, but from the looks of the design it should be fine. Think of it like the mesh top of a summer tent covered by a rainfly, same thing.
Okay so this one is not a canvas tent, right? So how much does it weight when packed up then? Where did you get it from and how much does it cost? And looking forward to the rain update.
@@kristenburkett4274 Correct. This is made from your typical tent material “Constructed of durable 150D polyester with DrySeal+ 2,000mm PU coating and rugged PE floor “
It’s thicker than your typical tent.
It weighs 28lbs. I got mine at Costco while they had it, but Sam’s has the same model the only difference is it comes with a black bag instead of a tan bag. (IMO the tan bag got really dirty fast)
The price was fluctuating so I do not like to talk pricing. Costcos original price was $250 I got mine for $119 and Sam’s is now at $99 or less.
Hope it helps.
So does this tent really fits six person or is it really a four people?
I would say it can really fit 6 people it’s not like the cabin tents that claim 6 people and barely have enough for 3. I could put 3 queen beds in there It’s very spacious.
@@TheLynchBurgers Thank you
Can you add a propane heater in there ?
Thanks for the question. So if you are using something like a Mr. Buddy Heater those have a safety shutoff for carbon monoxide if they malfunction. I have no experience, but our friends we go camping with use one all the time.
If you’re referring to more of the wooden stove style then no these do not have a chimney port on the roof or side like some tents. Those are more expensive canvas tents though.
@@TheLynchBurgers Yes plan to use a Mr Buddy Heater type stove. Not planning the wooden one on that. I plan to buy a canvas tent for that..
@@jb7502 awesome. Yeah I need to get a Mr. Buddy still too. This past camping trip wasn’t bad but the one in May was down in the low 30s at night…. We are going back out end of August but think we may have opposite problem and be overheated. 🥵
@@TheLynchBurgers I have now used this in my backyard for the last 3-4 days.. I left the lower windows open and a storm came.. The water did come in through the windows.. The tent was pretty much sturdy so i am guessing it worked.. I closed the windows and am going to check again in the morning if there is any more leakage..
@@jitubats thanks for the update and for unexpectedly testing that. Maybe you can leave a comment on the rain update comments with your findings. How bad was the water leakage on the lower windows? I can imagine if the rain is being blown sideways you’d definitely have some issue, but falling straight down probably not.
Have you had any experiences in the rain with this tent?
I have yet to use the tent in the rain, however a few people have commented in the comments here have used it in the rain with mostly success.
