Spacious and sturdy, the Mineral King 3 Tent enhances every camping adventure
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve used the Mineral King 3 Tent on multiple trips, from breezy beach campsites to alpine conditions, and it never disappoints. The setup is surprisingly easy for its size, and the two large doors make access a breeze. I love the fly's halfway roll-back feature for stargazing. Plus, the pre-bend poles really maximize interior space. It’s tough, weather-resistant, and feels roomy for two people—even with some gear inside. Definitely a reliable shelter for multi-day trips."
When we’re out exploring the backcountry, the Mineral King 3 Tent becomes our comfortable home away from home. Mountain Hardwear designed it with adventure in mind—featuring a spacious interior, two large doors for easy access, and full mesh panels that provide ventilation while showcasing the night sky. Whether we’re at a high-altitude basecamp or nestled in a forest clearing, we can rely on its stability thanks to the DAC Pressfit™ poles and proprietary HangTight™ stabilizing system.
The Mineral King 3 Tent stands up to changing weather with its durable rainfly, which can be rolled halfway back for nighttime stargazing or shade during the day. Inside, the symmetrical layout and pre-bend poles maximize livable space, and the ample pockets keep our essentials close at hand. With a lightweight, bathtub-style floor and included footprint, it’s crafted to handle damp conditions without sacrificing comfort. Whether we’re trekking to alpine lakes or setting up at the campsite, this tent keeps us comfortable, protected, and ready for the next adventure.

Good tent, well designed
The tent is well designed, well made and easy to set up. However, there are incomplete instructions, consisting of a few vague illustrations. There were no specific instructions for setting up extra guylines or venting the fly. It would be helpful to include lines to stake out the fly sides using the sewn-in loops, and include enough stakes. The vertical walls are roomy and there are good interior pockets. The 3-person tent is a bit heavy but good for canoe camping or short backpacking trips. Overall, we are pleased with the tent and plan to use it for years.

Great 3-person Tent
WE LOVE THIS TENT! It is so easy to set up, I did it in 10 minutes. It perfectly fits our double sleeping pad, and we still have space in our tent. Super great update from our 2-person tent. The size is perfect for packing and lightweight, and we're super stoked to take it on some longer backpacking trips.

Favorite Tent
Favorite MHW Tent! I have this tent and it is the perfect size for two people and there is still a ton of space for my gear to be placed in that remaining space. Three people can fit very comfortable. Easy tent to set up as well!

Sturdy, Roomy, and Easy Setup
I've used this tent in various conditions this year, including heavy wind and rain. It has held up spectacularly. I stayed warm in dry during a heavy early fall downpour. It's an easy one person pitch and I love that you can easily put the fly down from inside if needed. Very spacious inside and I love that the doors tuck away inside into their own pockets when open.

A roomy two-person tent, but three's a crowd
Well made tent with numerous well-thought-out features. Very comfortable for two adults, but I think it would be crowded for three.

Amazing tent
Easy set up, kept warm in PNW windy conditions along the beach, and zero leaks through the rain.

It's Big
I bought this to replace a 2 person tent and it's big. Appears to be well made and the added bonus is the footprint is included. I have not used it yet, but look forward to putting it into play.

Great Tent
Great Tent. Easy to put together. probably could fit more like 3.5 or 4 in a pinch. Quality seems high. Love the door on both sides. Rain cover kept the rain out over a couple days of use in the rain. Like the tarp that comes with it to put down on the ground first to protect the tent.
