Gazelle 90-second base camp bathroom hub tent

It’s one thing having a large, complex base tent to set up. I mean, we don’t really like that either, but sometimes you have to deal with it. But the last thing you want to do after setting up your primary tent is spend another small lifetime setting up a bathroom tent. Gazelle provides the latest solution, slimming its tried-and-true hub-frame formula into a tall, sturdy Privacy Tent that sets up in a minute and a half, letting you get to what really counts: collapsing into a camp chair and enjoying the view.

Gazelle has been busy of late expanding out its core lineup of 90-second hub tents and shelters, branching out into full-blown winter hot tents and fortified all-weather units. Adapting its hub-based integrated frame system to a bathroom tent seems like such a logical expansion, we thought for sure such a product already existed on the market.

But when we looked back for an older Privacy Tent, we found that while there was an older (flimsy looking) bathroom tent with the Gazelle badge, it really wasn’t the typical Gazelle hub tent built for bathroom use but more of a generic wire-framed instant tent light enough to blow clean away in anything stronger than a campfire bellows misfire.

So that makes the new Privacy Tent announced this month a rather attractive launch, designed for the same simple, intuitive 90-second setup as Gazelle’s camping tents, only in narrower, shower-compatible form. As with its tent lineup, Gazelle installs a hub frame directly into the fabric. This one is shaped more like Gazelle’s gazebos, which have a single front wall free from the X-shaped frame members that erect the other walls. This leaves the front compatible with a large door, eliminating the awkward, triangular “between-frame” doors prominent on Gazelle tents with four X-framed walls.
