If you’re new to hiking, then you’re probably a little hesitant to drop a whole paycheck on the speckiest tent on the market, then the Spartan 3P from Explore Planet Earth is the perfect option.
When you’ve got three people sleeping in a tent, it’s an absolute pain trying to go to the loo in the middle of the night. Lucky EPE have added two doors to either side of this tent to make navigation so much easier. And with a vestibule on each side, you can keep your pack, dirty boots or wet gear outside of your tent and away from your clean sleeping quarters. The colour coded frame means set up is going to be easy as, and the UV 50+ fire retardant fly will protect you from the elements. With a 4000mm rating, this tent has some serious water protection for a tent of its category. The Doors have No-see-um mesh, so you will also get plenty of ventilation inside your space.
The last thing you need is to roll over in the middle of the night and crush your glasses, have your PLB stick into your side, or lose track of your keys inside your tent. This tent comes with a gear loft you can keep all your essential off your sleeping area and safely above your head. An excellent choice for outdoorsy newbies, the Spartan 3P is an easy to pitch well priced option.

Spartan tent
Here at Tom Quilty in SA. Veryvery cold and wet. Tent is holding up beautifully. Thoroughly recommend this tent for serious winter campers! Or crazy horse strappers...
Great tent for amateur or pro campers
I had been planning a beach camp on top of a sand dune. Usually i go rough and use a hammock and fly, but since there were no trees i needed a compact tent for myself, my mate and our gear. I stubbled across this tent in Aussie Disposals and decide to look for it cheaper online (How i found it on snowy's). Very easy to use on the sand. Nice and roomy for our gear. Held up will with the rain and the animals. We set it up in no time. Very easy to set up in the dark even. And its very light which saves your back in the end. Also, its great if you want to steath camp. From a distance you couldn't tell the difference between a shrub and the EPE Spartan 3. 100% would recommend
great tent for beginners to get into camping!
I have been shopping around for tents for a month (both offline and online). it was a toss up between several tents, but I finally decided on the Explore Planet Earth Spartan 3. admittedly, cost did play a big factor in the decision process, as this would be an introductory hiking tent for my wife and I. while I would have loved to splurge on a more expensive tent, but this tent ticks all the boxes for now. it was simple enough to set up (so much so that my first set up was done in the morning, before I had any coffee in my system!). it's very spacious and roomy. it was a hot day when I started setting up the tent, yet the ability to open both doors, plus the ventilation peaks at the top of the tent aided in ventilation. at night, however, the weather decided to do a 180 degree change and started pouring heavily, while the winds were strong enough to blow the cover off my outdoor furniture set. yet, this tent stood the test, and it was a comfortable sleep inside the tent that night. I did ensure that the guy ropes were taut, which was made easy with the reflective material the guy lines had woven into them. my wife and I are definitely looking forward to using this tent more often!
