4/6/8/10 Person Instant Camping Tent with 1-Minute Setup, Large Family Tent with Pre-Attached Poles, Air Vent, & Carry Bag, Sets Up in About 60 Seconds

WARRANTY UPDATE: I have to add to the observations below that Coleman's warranty department is amazing to work with. They took back the 6-person tent we found to be too small on our first trip, just because I felt that the 6-person description was misleading, no questions asked. NEXT, after the pin failed (see below) in wind, they're replacing it, no questions asked. The Amazon Prime window had closed by a month. The proper way to submit a warranty issue is on their website under WARRANTY. You simply save your receipt from here in PDF (or scan a print), write the date & "WEB" on the product, take a couple of pictures, and that's IT. They answered my inquiry in less than 24 hours. I'll stick with a company that stands behind their product - which in this case is a GREAT tent - this well. WIND UPDATE: ours collapsed but still 5-stars! It held out until we were taking it down. On our first Tiger Scout trip with this sustained winds were 10 to 14 mph but gusts might have hit 30 mph for two nights. Our packs' tents include various Colemans and direct "instant tent" competitors from Amazon and Walmart, but also some more expensive dome tents. Two or three failed equally, so no favor to the more expensive options. Although a pin failed when we were taking the tent down it held through two nights of winds from all directions off of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (at Florida Keys Camp Sawyer). If you look at the knuckle under the fabric on the frame you'll see they're plastic-reinforced tips through the metal rods, secured with a metal pin - the pin broke eventually, not the plastic or the rod, so I'd consider it pretty good construction for a "cheap" tent. At times the tent was pressed down on top of us, almost flattened. Although it rained HARD we were completely dry except for one side-seam that dripped only enough to soak up with a face wash cloth (not much!). The two doors were GREAT because we could use the "downwind" side rather than the "wet" side. I hope never to camp in another situation like this (probably motel camp), but learned a few things to pass on if wind is expected. (1) most important is to guy-line out farther than expected and will bring some glow sticks to help keep people away from them. Make them long - short guy-lines are not effective in wind. (2) forget the stakes that come with your tent - buy the strongest you can find (foot-long nail/spikes from Home Depot) and bring a hammer, not a rubber mallet. You may never need them but they're essential in the event of wind and will reach deeper in wet earth. I could have easily fixed the pin but before realizing how easy it would be we trashed the tent - the rods were bent a little and so I just hammered them down into one another. So, we'll be buying another of these. The only change I'm going to make is to buy more of the beefy spikes (they held very well), something to glow on the guy-lines, and a chord long enough to tie around the top of the rods to help keep them from flexing all around in high wind (thinking that maybe the chord will take some of the pressure off of the joints). Even though ours failed we were safe, dry and very comfortable until it was time to go. Love this tent! ORIGINAL REVIEW: My video is actually for the disc-o-cot but shows the tent wide open. Also, I say "eight people" can sleep on two side by side but obviously I mean four with more up front. Other reviews hit all the high points about 1 minute setip, quality and dryness. This is a great tent. The OPTIONAL fly is essential for ventilation if there's any chance of rain but the tent stays dry inside without it. It rained two days without any leaks at all even though one of the front doors was not completely zipped at the floor. I strongly recommend this rather than the 6 person version because the price, weight and ease of setup are comparable for the luxury of the extra room. We have been using the 6-person version for our family of three but even with a disd-o-bunk bed found it tight because we all like to sleep off the floor and cots take space. Don't even consider more than five in this tent even without cots, unless the kids are still very small, of course. By the way, the disc-o-cot hits a 9 foot wall because of the slope so the 6 person tent isn't optimal. Even though you're probably not using bunk beds now, the extra foot is nice. In addition to the giant 14 foot side walls this one has two 10 foot ends, each with a door. The extra door and one foot more than the 9 feet in the six person allows us to leave 2+ foot isle between cots, each of which is 30+ inches (we're car camping after all). There is a ton of extra space left over up font for a adult, two small kids chairs or all of your gear. Camping with cub scouts can be a real challenge especially when they're still bobcats, and a luxurious tent with a good night's sleep makes a huge difference! This is why I suggest this tent for even three.

I read as many reviews as possible from different sites before ordering this tent. I camp at least 3 or 4 times a year and the worst part of it is setting up and breaking down the tent. I don't need to go into detail about how easy this tent is to set up. The videos speak for themselves. I will say that if you follow the instructions and watch the videos that you will have an easy time. Don't get in too much of a hurry though or you may damage something or pinch your fingers. I will concentrate on the tent itself. This tent looks like any standard cabin tent from the inside and the outside. It is roomy and has no sagging due to the well-fit pole frame. The windows all have sippers for screen ventilation. There are two ceiling vents. These are a great idea by Coleman. The nice thing about the vents is that they can be completely closed or opened. I did order the rain fly with mine so I can leave the ceiling vents open even when it is raining. Although this is billed as a 6 person tent I would rate it at a 3 person if you don't want it to be too crowded. There were 2 of us on our first outing in this tent. It was very roomy for 2 of us, our mattresses, a small table and then room for our packs. It is nice to stand up in a tent after years of having to crawl around in small dome tents when I was camping on my own. I will now also take this tent to camp when it's ONLY me since it is so easy to set up. Why should I put up with the cramped quarters of my backpack tent when I'm car camping and this tent is so convenient? I will advise that I did waterproof this tent with silicone before using it and I always use a ground tarp underneath. With the windows cracked and the vents open we had zero dew inside the tent. It didn't rain on this first outing so I can't speak to how it would perform but I carefully inspected the seams and saw none of the tell-tale pinholes that might mean a leak. This is a great tent for my purposes. 7-10-14 - I have now used this tent for 3 camp-outs and it continues to impress me. It withstood a 3 hour rainstorm in the Smoky Mountains and was completely bone-dry inside. Again, it should be noted that I took the time to waterproof the tent before ever using it but I am can't imagine that this tent would have leaked. Properly staked I can't see this tent even budging in the winds associated with a thunderstorm. One added benefit of the rainfly is that it also has guy ropes to help further anchor the tent. I always use a ground tarp under the tent, tucked under so water doesn't collect underneath the floor if it does rain. This is a great tent. P.S. My own touches - I use those interlocking multi color mats that you can by at Home Depot or Lowes inside the tent for padding and protection and I bought the longest nails, spikes really that I could find at the hardware store which I use for stakes. They are inexpensive, around a buck each and they do a better job than the cheap stakes the tent comes with. 3.23.15 - Have now used this tent several more times and I can't say enough good about it. Remember that I did take the trouble to waterproof the tent with Kiwi waterproofing aerosol and I also use the rain fly. It rained again on my most recent outing and we stayed completely dry while we heard those around us scrambling to avoid puddles or as in the case of one camper - just packed up and left. The ease of setting up and fast setup proved even more useful during the last day of my most recent trip. Not only could I pack up my tent quickly in the rain, but when I got home I could quickly set it back up to dry once the sun came out. Now that I've practiced a few times I can set up and take down my tent by myself. Bottom line- great tent that lets you enjoy camping instead of spending time matching poles or wrestling with inserting fiberglass poles into the sleeves of a dome tent. Heed my advice though and use a ground cloth, get better tent pegs, use the rain fly and waterproof everything just to be on the safe side. You can have your tiny 400 dollar one or two person tents for car camping but I will continue to enjoy my tent that is more like a house and lets me stand up and stretch out with all my gear. BTW I have an expensive Catoma one person tent that takes longer to set up than my Coleman Instant Tent.

We just got back from our first ever camping trip. I bought this tent a couple of months ago and we "practiced" in the backyard a couple of times. Set it up, sprayed it with a hose, took it down, etc. I had read many reviews and quite a few said the tent leaks, so before we went I did spray it with waterproofer and sealed the seams just in case. It rained on and off for the 3 days we were camping with a very windy and powerful Florida thunderstorm thrown in for good measure. It didn't leak a bit. I made sure the top vents were closed good as I saw where rain could probably blow in there, but it didn't at all...maybe we were just facing the right way. We also had a fan going and I noticed that the 3 sides of the tent where the fan blew against stayed bone dry, while the side at the back of the fan that got no air did feel damp (although no water dripped through). So I'm wondering if the leaks people are getting are really from condensation. We used a queen and a twin air mattress and had room for a small walking space and 3 large plastic bins of stuff. There is a good amount of room for 2 adults and a child but I wouldn't want anymore than that in there. There's a loop to hang a lantern in the ceiling which we used, and 2 pockets. We only used the pocket that is right by the door, it was very handy for the flashlights, keys, and other stuff you might want to grab on your way in and out. The windows are nice and big and roll down into themselves. They stayed put even with a good wind. They are at a height where you can leave them open, yet still have some privacy while you are sleeping. Setup and take down is a breeze. They aren't kidding when they say it only takes a minute. Be careful you watch where you put your fingers so they don't get pinched! The bag it comes with is nice too, as it all fits back in there easily. I thought it was very sturdy, the poles were definately more substantial than our camping partners regular tent. The only thing I don't like about the tent is the door. It is shaped like a "D" and the zipper doesn't go around the top right curve easily...and I'm afraid if anything is going to break it will be this zipper. You need to use both hands to zip it, one to pull the fabric together and one to zip. You also have to be careful when opening the door when the outside of the tent is wet because the water will run inside if you don't hold it just right. We kept a small towel by the door to clean up when that happened. We will be buying another (probably the next size up) so we can bring more people next time.

First let me say I live full time in my tent. I have tested a few tents of different sizes. This tent is pretty roomy at 10ft x 14ft with a nice center height. The ceiling height drops off to like 5ft at the exits. Double doors on the screen room side and a single on the other end so each "room" has its own door. This tent does not require the use of a rain fly though I got one anyway with the logic that it would create additional shade for the tent allowing for cooler interior Temps. I currently do not have it installed because I had a 10x12 tarp prehung for campfires during colder weather. I will likely keep the tarp but move it so that it creates a lean-to roof to give me a dry space before entering my tent. The pros: It is very roomy for one person and 80lb dog. I easily set it up in a couple of minutes solo - not counting the time to stake the tent and run the guy lines The tent sets up nice and tight so the tent doesnt move around in the wind. In 25mph winds, the 2 ends moved in and out with the wind, but no whipping. The poles and guy lines make this a pretty sturdy tent. The 2 sides and the ceiling had no movement. The screen room is awesome, however, I wish the zip down windows went closer to the floor. The screen room windows zip down to about 2ft from the floor. The tent does get a lot of air flow anyways. I have it in the shade and at 80°F the tent stayed around 70 and with the breeze it was almost long sleeve weather. On cooler nights down to 35, the tent stayed about 10°F warmer than outside. The cons: There are no lantern hooks or an e-port This tent sets up best on flat ground, and I mean FLAT. The way the poles attach at the top of the tent do not allow the tent to sag in the middle to accommodate uneven terrain. If you attempt to pull the middle poles to the ground, you will flex the corner poles and the tent will not open properly. I staked a piece of paracord to the ground right below and in front of the pole and then tied off to the pole to keep it from moving inward or upward. The door to the screen room does not close completely, there is a 1 inch wide by ¼ inch gap where the 3 zippers come together. This is only an issue where pests can get in, but if the doors are completely zipped, mosquitoes and such won't see and be attracted to the light thru the gap. The center area of the floor is bigger than the foot print but it worked out for me because the center of my tent is lower than the ends causing a 2 inch gap between pole and ground. The excess in the floor kept it from being too taught and putting strain on the seams. I'm not sure if this was genius forethought or a happy accident. There is no ceiling net option. There is only one pocket for "8" people to use. With 8 people you'd have to stack any gear and be on top of each other. For a camping trip I'd say it would accommodate 4-5 people with gear comfortably. You could a twin air mattress in each of the 4 corners and have walking room but very little room for gear. I seen a review complaining about the width x length being shorter at the top, and it is, but it's only a foot on each of the 2 sides and two feet loss on each end. By the time it's an issue, you are bending down to exit the door. The seams are quite tight where the poles are attached. This will help rain roll off and lessen the chance of a leak but makes me wonder how long they will hold up to the amount of tension placed on them. I've been using it for a week now with no complaints except the lack of an e-port and lantern hooks. I've been using the the roll up strap for the smaller door to hang my lantern. Overall, I'd recommend this tent at the $200 price I bought it for.

The main reason I bought this tent is because of its size and ease of setup. I am 6'6" tall, so smaller tent shared with anyone else makes for an uncomfortable night. The length and width are long enough to accommodate me, even when sleeping at the edges. It is tall enough that i can at least stand up while leaning over just a bit. I cant fullt stand up in it, but i dont have to crouch down on my knees to move around in it. I decided to try the tent out for the first time this weekend while taking my son on a boy scout campout, without having ever taken it out of the bag, and without previously watching any videos or reading instructions on set up. It still was a very quick setup. It took about 2 minutes to set up and get the 6 stakes down, and that was with a lot of wind (this did not include the 4 support stakes for the cords. It took me another couple of minutes to get the knots undone and stake those down). Takedown the next morning was just as easy. There was a bit of struggle getting it rolled back up to fit in the bag easily but that is the case with any tent ive had. The main reason i am giving it 5 stars though is because it actually made it through the night. We stayed at the very tip of Dauphin Island in Alabama. Inside Ft Gaines to be exact. On a weekend with a pretty big storm rolling in. Although it did not rain while i was there, the wind was blowing at 35+ mph for the entire night. I set it up around 6pm, and took it down the next morning around 7am and it stayed standing the entire time. This was not just an occasional gust of wind coming in. It was a steady 35mph, nonstop, the entire night. Occasionally there were some gusts that reached 50+ mpg. Every now and then, the top of the tent would shift and i thought the arms were going to give out, but they never did. I left all of the windows open throughout the night to keep some of the pressure of the wind off, but i think it would have stayed up even if they were closed. I did not have any leaks on mine, but it did not rain on us while the tent was up. There was a little spray from the ocean, but the wind was so strong it did not have time to sit on the tent and get in. Because of the design, its not a light or compact tent, but i would not expect one like this to be, so that's not a problem or negative to me. It will still fit in the trunk of a small car, so its not terribly long. I intend on using this on typical campouts with the family and do not intend on hiking long distances with it. There is only one negative thing about it to me, and that is the stakes that are included. They are the typical L shaped cheap tent stakes that come with every tent. I forgot to bring my good stakes with me, so i had to use these. Several were bent or pulled half up the next morning, so i will be buying another set of good ones to keep in the bag. I am not removing any stars from my rating just because it did hold up after all, even in the very sandy terrain i had it in. But it is worth noting that you should purchase a decent set, and that goes for any tent you buy. While you are at it, go ahead and buy a small cheap mallet to keep in the tent bag too. Then you never have to remember to pack one, or have to hunt for something hard enough to drive them down.

...you ONLY camp in DRY weather!!! So this experience began as I purchased this 4 person tent a year ago so my wife and I could go camping for our anniversary. It seemed like a good deal and I have had other pieces of Coleman gear...sleeping bags, stoves etc since the 1970's and I was satisfied with the quality. First off...It took 3 times to get what one would consider a "new" tent. In all fairness, this could be due to the amazon/coleman returns process. The first had sand all in it and the second had a hole in the rear of the built in "rainfly". We did receive the 3rd tent with only a day or two to spare before going camping. Last year, we arrived in severe weather so we were stuck in the car until it passed and set camp late that night having thankfully nice weather until we left. Fast forward to this year, same campsite same tent. The first night to midday of the next day dry but breezy. Light rain started around 4pm as expected. Only 2 and a half hours of light to moderate rainfall into a 6.5 hour rain event, the roof started leaking at the seams and from inside the loop where you hang a light or something. Not long after that, say another 10 or so minutes, every seam under every window and even the back wall seam midway up the wall began to leak. As we started to see how much water was coming in, I noticed that ALL roof and wall panels are now saturated and water weeps inside directly where it lands on the outside! At about 9PM I knew there was a final line of heavy rain still to come before it all moved away so, I cut open a zip lock bag and used an entire roll of 1 inch gorilla tape to slow the ingress of water as it was ice cold and dripping on our bedding. we were committed since we couldn't get to our vehicle without becoming soaked. I should note that even when the heavy line came through, it was NOT severe. In total, we received about 1.5 maybe 2 inches of rain over the entire event. I know because I've been a trained NWS weather spotter for 2 decades and had my eyes on the radar. #weathernerd I will admit I became suspicious about the marketing of this model over the last year as I did see an additional rainfly available for this tent here on amazon. I thought why does it need another if they claim it has one built in and the whole thing has this weather tech coating complete with symbols of blowing wind? Back to the incoming weather. We DID have a wind advisory but being in a forest with 120ft+ tall trees, we never had anything on the ground level gusts higher than 10-20mph. I did have a tarp setup over the entrance that was facing the direction the rain was coming from (SW) so the doors did not leak as bad as every other surface did. I will say this, the "bathtub" design of this tent was SOLID and waterproof!! That is the ONLY reason for that extra star. We set the tent on top of a ground tarp but the bottom did not leak and thankfully so. While this was a challenge and we obviously didn't sleep well and had a fair amount of gear get wet, it did not completely ruin the trip. Keep in mind it was only used ONE other time a year apart and it stayed in it's case in storage. This is only a fair weather tent or for use in your back yard at home where if the weather turns wet, you can run into the house! Do not plan to use this for any camping where you have to drive any distance and/or to an event or occasion that is meaningful as it will let you down. The setup is pretty quick too, once you are used to it, you'll think of it as an inverted umbrella. In summary, do NOT take gear to the field without testing it first! I knew this and I just didn't because I ran out of time due to being sent used or defective merchandise. I mistakenly trusted a brand name and their marketing gimmicks. I will NOT be buying ANY other Coleman tents! Are they right for you? You, be the judge. Austin <><

I opted for this tent because the overall consensus was how very easy it is to put up. Yes, it really is very, VERY easy to erect. We are a family of scientific/engineering types, so not the very least likely to succeed with putting up a tent, but we are also not very advanced campers. With some experience (less than one camping trip per year) but not a lot, we found this tent to be super easy to put up, even with 5 and 8 year old children distracting us in the process. We used it a couple of times in the backyard first. No real problems there (except a nervous preschooler who decided to "go back home"/inside before 9pm.) When we were planning a class camping trip with other families, I warned my husband, "the reviews say this tent is great, EXCEPT IN THE RAIN" so we planned to just pack up early and leave if the weather turned bad. Well, living in New England... we got a pretty intense thunderstorm during our three night camping trip! The shelter over the picnic tables was leaking. One (out of five) families just packed it in and left at dusk when their tent started to flood. The weather reports the next day actually stated flash floods occurred in the area where we camped... but we slept pretty darn dry in the Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent! I would say there were two very tiny spots of water infiltration from above. We definitely had one child who rolled to the side and got a damp sleeping bag due to sleeping in contact with the side of the tent. HOWEVER, even without the rainfly and with no tarp covering us, all in all, we had a dry tent. This far exceeded my expectation for how well this inexpensive, easy-up tent would handle serious rainfall. (It POURED in the evening, then rained softly to moderately throughout most of the night.) We did luck out, by arriving last in our group, in having the highest placed campsite at our New Hampshire state park. The coziest seeming sites were definitely downhill from ours when the weather turned bad. The site did seem pretty flat upon initial visual inspection, though. The soil was sandy, so the rain water was able to sink it fairly quickly, thank goodness. Aside from weather resistance, our family of four found the interior space of this tent comfortable. We use the self-inflating (backpacker style) camping pads by Therm-A-Rest ( Thermarest Luxury Map Air Mattress, Blue in the 30-inch wide XL size for the adults and much smaller 3/4 length pads for the kids), so we aren't crowding the tent as much as household sized thick air mattresses would. It was snug but comfortable with our beds deployed and a few duffle bags with clothing. We had room to move between our beds, but we only use the tent to sleep and get dressed. Having read all the reviews, I brought a few wooden clothes pins to use to keep the window flaps from flapping, and I had zero issue with any noise or inconvenience with the windows. I am very easily disturbed by things like fluttering flaps. As others have written, it sure would be nice to have extra loops or pockets in the tent for storage, but, again, I knew what to expect and just kept a little tote next to my bed with my LED lamp, eyeglasses, etc. At this price point, I found the tent completely satisfactory as far as features were concerned. I wish there were a footprint sized precisely for this tent. I worried about water infiltration all night during our heavy rains. I was able to fold a standard tarp to fit neatly underneath the Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent, but I would have paid a few extra dollars to have a tarp that fit perfectly like a proper footprint does. I am pretty likely to buy the new rainfly accessory for this tent now that it is available. As I said, our experience was very positive in a pretty significant rainfall, but I did sleep poorly worrying that water was going to come in during the night. I have also strongly considered some kind of easy up shelter just tossed up over the entire tent to stop the worst of a deluge getting to us... In a nutshell, I am very satisfied with the Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent. It met my highest priority, which was a set-up so easy that tent-anxiety wouldn't keep us from heading out for a camping trip. The five-star review is because FOR THE PRICE, this tent wildly exceeded my expectations. I would be using much more stringent requirements (pockets, conveniences) if the price point were more than just barely into the three digit range, like the Paha Que, Mountain Hardware, etc. tents that I covet but could not justify for our infrequent current usage. This is a great place to start if you are a family considering camping but not ready for big cash commitments. In that scenario, IMHO, spend less on your first tent and a little more to ensure you have good sleeping pads (cushioning) to avoid physical pain/misery, warm enough sleeping bags, and good basic cooking equipment so everyone can enjoy themselves.

I love this tent! It is quick and easy to set up! I always put a large folded tarp on the ground under the tent to help protect the floor! I also sprayed Flex Seal in areas on the tent wear rain can usually seep in. I highly recommend the 8 person tent to be able to comfortably sleep 2 adults and still have room for supplies! I also recommend the rainfly for this tent for added protection.

Zelt ist super einfach auf-und abzubauen, was ich nicht verstehe ist, was sich die Entwickler dabei gedacht haben, die Fliegengitter allesamt außerhalb zu "montieren". Wie soll man da die Vogelsch..... sauber wegbekommen ohne das ein Rest sich irgendwo noch hält. Da wo die 3 Reißverschlüsse bei der doppelten Türe zusammen kommen, können die sich auch noch was überlegen, da bei Regen eine große Pfütze im Innenraum war

Excelente producto, mejor de lo que esperaba, pero viene sucia por dentro y y en la bolsa donde se guarda como si ya la hubieran ocupado. Como si no fuera nueva.

Me pareció justo el tamaño para estar 4 personas cómodamente, caben 4 colchones individuales y queda como 1 metro de pasillo, se arma muy fácil de hecho lo hice yo solo, y al desarmar si necesite poca ayuda sobre todo para volverla a meter a la bolsa, pero nada imposible, lo único que no encontré fue alguna entrada para el cable de luz pero bueno lo pasamos por la puerta principal, compre el RainFly para mayor protección aunque no nos llovió si sirve para que no entre tanta luz. La calidad me parece buena y es totalmente hermética si la cierras toda, no tiene alguna salida de aire por el piso como otras casas; que para noches frías esta bien pero si note que condensa algo y se sienten húmedas las paredes por adentro en la madrugada, pero bueno no es algo que nos molesto.

Coleman 4 person tent easy to setup . Product received in good condition . It’s recommended to buy as it has quite good room space for 4 person & good more windows for air flow inside the tent . Would definitely recommend Others to buy for worth the money .

fantastic product.....all that i needed
