Coleman Skydome Tent with 5 Minute Setup, 2/4/6/8-Person Weatherproof Tent with Rainfly & Carry Bag, 20% More Headroom Than Traditional Canopies

My husband and I set this up in our dining room today - just to get a feel for its size, check for any tears, broken zippers, or issues with poles. First of all, it’s huge! As a family of 5, we wanted something large enough for a comfortable camping weekend. My husband and daughter backpack and have tiny, lightweight tents for that purpose - this is NOT that!It took just under 20 minutes for my husband to open it and set it up for the first time; it was pretty simple and I imagine would go much quicker when the two of us set it up together.The quality seems nice and my kids are excited to use it.

We love camping as a family. We needed a new tent and didn’t want to spend a fortune. This tent was exactly what we needed. It’s spacious and airy. Works great in the rain. It’s easy to set up and take down. We’ve used it frequently in the past six months and find new things to like each time.

A quality tent at a good price. Easy to set up after you’ve done it once. My only issue was that it’s almost impossible to get it back in the bag. Couldn’t you make the bag a little bigger? No one is taking this backpacking. Anyway, if you want an affordable tent for car camping, this is a good one.

Easy set-up and breakdown. I can do it solo with no issues.Designed well. I was camping and caught in heavy rains. I was the only one with no water inside. I was not in a high spot and had some puddling around and under the tent, so I was very pleased with is performance.Only con is that it does get pretty stuffy inside without fans running and screen covering down. But given I'm in FL, that wasn't a big surprise and I was prepared for that issue.

We bought this Coleman tent to prepare for an upcoming camping trip in a few weeks, and as first-time tent owners, we weren’t sure what to expect. Let me just say, we’re so impressed! We did a trial run in our bedroom to make sure we could set it up, and it was super easy. The instructions were clear, and it took us less than 10 minutes to get it fully pitched.The tent feels sturdy and well-made, with plenty of space inside. The ventilation is great, and it even looks nice! We feel so much more confident heading into our trip knowing we have a reliable, easy-to-use tent. If you’re new to camping like us, this is a perfect choice to start with.

Last year I decided I wanted to start camping. I had not been camping since I was a teen w/my parents decades ago. I wanted to get into the hobby cheap, but not so cheap as to ruin the experience. Just to see if I really would enjoy it or if the nostalgia would wear off fast.I used this tent several times this year and don't regret it one bit.In the pros column:* Plenty of space for a single person. I was able to fit a camping cot, my camping chair, and a 25 gallon bin (as a nightstand) in the tent with enough room to move around. It was snug, but comfortable.* The tent held up to moderate rain on two of my trips - no water got inside. Though there was little wind to drive the rain.* The mostly netting body with the rain fly providing privacy meant that the tent remained relatively cool. But it was still comfortable down into the mid-30s F.And the cons:* The provided stakes were not of the best quality and were a challenge to use in the very rocky sites I went to in the West.* While the tent could remain cool, in direct sunlight on a desert day, it would not. The lone window on the front door meant there was little chance of a cross breeze helping matters much.* Setting up as a solo camper did take some time - definitely not the 5 minutes as advertised. Closer to 15 minutes.* The domed walls do cut down on the usable floor space inside the tent when not sleeping/resting directly on the ground.* Trying to get the tent to fit into the original, machine packed bag, is an exercise in futility. I simply bought a 25 gal. tote to carry the tent, rain fly and ground tarp in.Honestly, for a year's worth of usage to see if I really was going to keep camping, this was the ideal tent. A lot of the negatives on the list are more due to the style of camping I intended to use vs. the style of camping the tent targets. This is more of a heavier, multi-person, backpacking tent whereas I set out to car-camp as a solo person.I have since replaced this tent with a far more expensive, far heavier, and roomier tent for my 2nd season. But this tent fulfilled it's purpose. It let me know camping is something I am enjoying for the hobby it is, and not the nostalgia of years past.
