Naturehike Cloud River Backpacking Tent, Brown, 3 Person — Lightweight 2-Layer, Waterproof 2000mm

The Naturehike Cloud River is a lightweight, double-layer backpacking tent that comfortably shelters two to three people while offering reliable waterproofing, wide ventilation, and easy setup.

This tent balances low weight and compact packing with livable interior space and durable materials, making it a practical choice for multi-day backpacking, bikepacking, or car-to-trail camping. With an X-cross pole structure, 7001 aluminum alloy poles, and a 210T polyester fly with silver coating, the Cloud River is built for fast assembly, sun protection, and wet-weather resistance without adding unnecessary bulk to your pack.

How quickly can I pitch the Cloud River on the trail?

Designed for simple, fast assembly, the tent uses two pre-bent 7001 aluminum poles in an X-cross arrangement so one person can have it freestanding within minutes. The inner tent and fly can be used separately for flexible shelter options.

• Typical setup time: about 5 minutes for an experienced camper
• Two poles with color-coded sleeves and clips for straightforward alignment
• Freestanding design lets you stake later or adjust position easily

Will this tent stand up to rain and sun exposure?

The fly is made from 210T polyester with a silver coating that provides UPF50+ sun protection and water resistance rated around 2000mm. Combined with a durable floor and sealed seams, the tent provides practical shelter from typical campsite showers and strong sunlight.

• 210T polyester fly with silver coating for UV reflection
• Water resistance approximately 2000mm to shed moderate rain
• Double-layer option: use inner tent alone in dry weather or fly on for full protection

How roomy and ventilated is the interior for two or three people?

The Cloud River’s inner dimensions are extended compared with many ultralight models—about 86.6 by 70.9 inches with a peak height near 49.2 inches—so occupants get more headroom and sleeping space. An all-mesh inner body plus dual doors and two vent windows let air circulate to reduce condensation while maintaining 360° sightlines.

• Interior length and width suitable for two sleepers with gear or three people in tighter arrangement
• Peak height increases sitting-up comfort and mobility inside
• Mesh inner body and vents support airflow and visibility

What do I get in the tent package and how portable is it?

The package includes the tent fly, inner tent, two 7001 aluminum poles, 13 pegs, one storage bag, straps, and four guylines. Weighing roughly 3.1 kg (about 6.8 lbs) and packing down to about 52 × 16 × 16 cm, it’s compact enough for backpacking or bike tours where moderate weight and durability are priorities.

• Total packed size: 52 x 16 x 16 cm for easy stowage in panniers or larger packs
• Included accessories: pegs, windropes, straps and storage bag
• Aluminum poles trade a bit more stiffness and durability for lower weight versus fiberglass

Who is this tent best for? The Naturehike Cloud River suits hikers, bikepackers, and campers who want a balance of livable interior space, reliable waterproofing, and a compact packed profile. It’s ideal for two people traveling with gear who value quick setup and ventilation, and it can also accommodate three people on shorter trips or in lower-gear configurations.
