A self-erecting tent (10) having three closed loop frame members that criss-cross themselves along their respective left and right mid-points. The first closed loop frame member (12) is threaded through the front floor sleeve (60) and the rear arch sleeve (66) of the tent body (40). The second closed loop frame member (18) is threaded through the upper front arch sleeve (64) and the rear floor sleeve (68) of the tent body (40). The third closed loop frame member (28) is threaded through the lower front arch sleeve (62) and the rear floor sleeve (68). This produces a tent body (40) having a lower front panel (46), an upper front panel (48), a central panel (50) and a rear panel (52). A front door opening (54) is formed in the lower front panel (46). The entire structure can be folded, twisted and bound into a flat circular package for transportation and storage. When released, the collapsed structure instantaneously springs back into a complete and fully erected tent.
