5 Top Pop Up Changing Tents for Shelter, Privacy, and Convenience

Sometimes you find yourself awkwardly changing into a bathing suit in the car or hiding off behind a bush or building to get a second of privacy. Often even your tent doesn’t feel private enough and you don’t know if someone is looking in the window or about to burst in the door. It can be tough when you are away from home, but a solution to that problem is a good pop up changing tent.

Best Pop Up Changing Tents

A pop up changing tent is a quick and simple solution for anyone needing privacy while out and about. They are commonly used for changing rooms, portable toilet housings, portable showers, photo shoots, etc. There are no tools needed to open pop up changing tents, and once you’re finished, with a bit of practice you can pack the tent away in a matter of seconds. Some of the best pop up changing tents that we’ve encountered are the privacy tents from Your Choice. These are waterproof, fairly roomy, have ventilation and UV protection. Most importantly they are easy to use.

Essentially tied with the Your Choice Portable Pop Up Dressing/Changing Tent is the Wolfwise Upgrade 6.25 FT Instant Pop-Up Privacy Tent. The specs on these tents are extremely similar to the other line, and the overall quality is excellent. The Wolfwise has windows for ventilation, a removable floor, and is super easy to assemble and pack away. All in all, it too would make an excellent pop up changing tent for just about anyone.

Whichever of the two tents is cheaper is the one we would recommend. For more information see our Product Reviews section below.

If you’re looking for an option that works well but will save you a few dollars, the GigaTent Pop Up Changing Room is definitely worth considering.

The GigaTent is a great budget choice. For a complete review, see below.

Opening and Closing a Pop Up Privacy Tent

Opening a pop up changing tent is super simple. Generally, you just pull it out of the bag and it pops up on its own. Closing the tent is another story, and will likely take a little practice. It can be quite amusing to watch people try to close up the tent for the first time! Stay patient and practice before you need to use it. Here’s a video showing how it’s done, in this case with the GigaTent Pop Up Pod. https://youtu.be/2JboKAnFedY

Dimensions

Are you in need of somewhere portable yet secure enough to get changed on the go? If so, the GigaTent Pop Up Pod Changing Room could be the answer to all your problems. Available in 3 bright, vibrant colors, this pop-up tent is ideal for use at the beach, on photo shoots, with spray tanning machines, camping, and more. There are no concerns over privacy with this tent, as it’s fully enclosed at the top. It also comes with metal stakes in which to tie down the tent, which can be very useful in windy weather. As it is made from polyester, it’s both durable and really easy to clean. It is quite water-tight as well, though with no floor water may enter on the bottom, and may pool at the top over time. To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth as needed. The material is pretty thin, and it is possible to see the shadow of the person inside if the light is just right (or wrong). So users should at least consider that. Assembly is simple. Just pull it out of the bag and watch it unfold like magic. To pack it back up again, simply fold in half and twist then pop it in the neat little carry bag. You’ll probably need to practice the fold-up process a few times before you get it down, but once you have it mastered, you can fold it up in a moment. It doesn’t have any hooks for hanging toilet paper and the like on, so this may not be a good choice for outdoor toilet use.

PARTYSAVING 6 FT Portable Privacy Outdoor Pop-up Room Tent Camping Shower Toilet Beach Park

For an easy to set and put away pop up changing tent option, be sure to check out this PARTYSAVING 6ft Portable Privacy Outdoor Pop Up Room. This funky changing tent is a must have for anyone needing a little privacy while on the move. It is a bit different than the other tents on our list, as it has an open ceiling and non-square base shape. Generally, we feel that the open ceiling is a negative, though depending on your environment, it could be an advantage.

Key Points at a Glance

• Available in black or camo
• Weather resistant
• Has weighted pocket flaps
• Has inside zipper
• More privacy protection than other models
• Open ceiling

Dimensions

Popped Up76” x 30” x 40”

Folded22.5” x 22” x 30”

The PARTYSAVING 6’ portable privacy tent is an interesting choice, and in certain cases, could be the perfect privacy tent. One thing that makes this tent a little different from many other pop-up changing tents available on the market is that it has an open ceiling. This makes it ideal for those that are tall, or for those who want to use it for an outdoor shower. However, the shower nozzle can’t be supported by the tent itself, so you’ll need to rig up a different method to hold the shower nozzle. Inside the tent is a sewn-in elastic strap which is great for hanging washcloths and other small items. Assembly can be done in a matter of seconds, and once finished using, the tent folds down into a neat little storage case which makes for easy transportation. The black color of this tent makes it a bit harder to see shadows through the fabric than some of the other tents on our list today. If shadows are a concern for you, then the PARTYSAVING tent is a good option.
