"I had it set up during a crazy storm and had no water come in it. Really nicely designed"
"It is reliable and comfortable, we have slept in it in torrential rain, high heat, ~34 degree nights with frost developing on it; all of that has left it with no damage and solid water repelling still after all of that happening on multiple trips."
"Just left Bennett Springs in Missouri in our Coleman 6P and stayed dry the whole weekend."

"I have a Coleman 6P with a porch area and it’s nice for car camping but not something I would want to take to Scout weekends. ... It’s huge and heavy, and would take up more space than me and my son need, blocking others who have bigger families."

-Cots. *Disco Bed has bunkbeds for kids&adults -Cabin size tent. *Coleman has a few models/ 6’4 ceilings are 👌🏾 -Portable toilet (for overnight use) -Thick picnic table cloths *buy x3 -use one on each seat/tabletop. Gives you a wipeable surface in cases of spills/reusable -Bikes/Scooters/Kayaks -plastic grocery bags. *collect these -ask in your local groups/churches ect they make for great garbages that can be taken out after meals/day -YETI coolers. Prechill 24hrs before adding foods. We have needed to top up with ice on day 6 of a 10 day trip…and its just because I am particular about it needing to be kept cold enough.
r/camping • What gear purchase(s) changed your camping/hiking experience for the best? ->Thank you to everyone for their suggestions!!! Greatly appreciate everyone's input. Went with a coleman 6-person cabin camping tent with enclosed weatherproof screen room from Costco. With my $65 online voucher, got it for $152 taxes in!
r/camping • Tent suggestions on a budget - reviews are contradicting.. ->>UPDATE Thank you to everyone for their suggestions!!! Greatly appreciate everyone's input. Went with a coleman 6-person cabin camping tent with enclosed weatherproof screen room from Costco. With my $65 online voucher, got it for $152 taxes in Good choice, Coleman is always my go-to recommendation for a first timer. Decent priced and decent quality, will last you for plenty of trips.
r/camping • Tent suggestions on a budget - reviews are contradicting.. ->We have had the coleman cabin tent for ~5 years or so. It is reliable and comfortable, we have slept in it in torrential rain, high heat, ~34 degree nights with frost developing on it; all of that has left it with no damage and solid water repelling still after all of that happening on multiple trips. The front porch feature with the rain fly overhang has been rly cool when we wanna avoid rain/bugs but still wanna chill at the campsite. I will say that it goes on sale sometimes and I think Dunham’s has it for a bit cheaper sometimes. But it is honestly one of the best tents I’ve ever used. We let friends use it in trips now because we got a gazelle pop up tent after going camping consistently for a few years. But we still love that Coleman, you can’t miss with it really.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I have the Coleman cabin tent, we’ve had it for at least 5 years now. We camp a lot, and bought rec land where we left the tent up all summer. It’s still in fantastic condition! I don’t think I’ll ever need to get another tent.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->We got a Coleman Cabin for our family of 6. The screened in porch with a floor is probably the best thing ever.
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->We camp a lot and I still get a Coleman or similar. For car camping. My kid or dogs ends up doing something stupid so I don’t want an expensive one. A $100 tent lasts us years. I suggest a cabin style tho.
r/CampingGear • Kelty, Coleman or Big Agnes Tent? ->Had the Coleman Cabin tent for about 5 years and was solid. What finally did it in were 70mph gusts at Joshua Tree (still have wind PTSD from that lol). And the CORE tents from Costco are legit too.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I have the cabin tent as well - love the room/ability to stand up straight in it. I didn't initially love that the rainfly doesn't entirely cover the sides, but I had it set up during a crazy storm and had no water come in it. Really nicely designed
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I have the coleman cabin exact model. I love the room and screened in porch. Position it right and the breeze flows really nicely. Does take 2 to setup but it's sturdy if you pin the corners down first. I used it camping first time off lake Michigan and I didn't set up up right. Wind broke a pole and coleman wasn't able to send replacement poles so they sent an entire tent free. Great customer service there! I bought this tent from a store called Dunham sports in Michigan on sale for $100. Ive since been able to setup quickly and it's very sturdy. No complaints.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->We just camped in a Coleman with a "porch" and that is a real game-changer! 4-6 person was pretty big for 2 gals, but it was easy and comfy.
r/camping • Parents who camp, need a tent rec! ->https://preview.redd.it/b2op1xy5i0se1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8afba26a4e6abf760c10dce97e7ab0e45105bbf7 This is my tent, has a screened in area to sit outside if the mosquitos are bad. Hinged door, the flooring comes up 4 inches to keep rain water out. Best tent I have ever had
r/camping • Is this a good tent? ->Sorry, it’s $379. Scroll until you see the one with the screen porch on one end. The one I sent you before this did not have the screen look closely at the pictures. It shows 379 for the one with the screen on Amazon.
r/camping • Is this a good tent? ->Amazon has it for $384 right now Search “Colemen Tents and scroll down
r/camping • Is this a good tent? ->I actually have the 6 person with a patio. We camped in the poconos last August in like a hurricane and everyone else was screwed and we just sat there like well… glad this works lol
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->I’m in the U.S. and Coleman is a solid go to for a first tent. I have a couple of their six person tents and they’ve served me well.
r/camping • Tent recommendation for family of 3 ->I have the Coleman Dome 6 (two of them) and a Core 9P, both have been great. Just left Bennett Springs in Missouri in our Coleman 6P and stayed dry the whole weekend.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->Used to be an avid backpacker before having my son. I use a Marmot Limelight 2P for our scouting trips. It’s been all over and continues to hold strong, great water resistance. Surprisingly after 15+ years of use it’s still going strong and has survived a few years of Cub Scout camping weekends. All my Marmot gear has really held up through the years and adventures. I have a Coleman 6P with a porch area and it’s nice for car camping but not something I would want to take to Scout weekends. It’s huge and heavy, and would take up more space than me and my son need, blocking others who have bigger families.
r/camping • Looking for a 2P tent less than $250 that'll mostly be used for car camping ->Wow, lots of comments for you to sort through, OP! We have a 2p trekking tent and a 6p Coleman that we got on mega sale the morning we woke up to a collapsed, flooded, tarped (under and over) and waterproofed 4p Walmart tent. When my oldest was younger, we went camping with extended family. The cousins wanted their own tent so we packed them up (4 boys and 2 girls 6 to 10yo) in the 6p Coleman, and we squeezed the toddler between us in the trekking tent. Well, we ended up moving to the Coleman with all of them in the middle of the night because they got scared of the wind, the voices, and the coyotes. I'd venture out to say that 6-10yos should probably not camp in their own tent. He's 12 now, and gets the (very expensive) trekking tent to himself. He does just fine, too. We happen to have it so we use it, but if we didn't, we'd buy something that won't collapse or flood, probably between 50-100$ new, absolutely on sale. We've had both tents for over 10 years, use them every summer multiple times, and treat them every summer as well, well worth the investment. Our kid doesn't mind the hand me down, loves to have his own space, and is grateful.
r/camping • Your child is getting bigger, and wants their own tent. What kind do you get them, and how old are they when you first let them use it? ->For car camping I like Coleman 6p tents. They’re heavy but durable. I use mine for 2 adults on a queen sized deep air mattress. Have two dogs, a Shepard and a beagle each with their own beds. Plenty of room for us
r/camping • What should I look for when purchasing a tent for 2-3 people? What should I avoid ? ->I’d go with the Coleman 6p because you can extend the awning. But whatever you buy, make sure you get some waterproofing or a very large heavy duty waterproof tarp.
r/OutdoorAus • New to camping, need help picking up a 6P tent ->Wouldn’t go to big. Honestly 6p is a great mid range the Coleman is wicked. I just upgraded to a 10p Blackwolf 450 and honestly I prefer the 6p and I have a family of 4. We put two double mattresses in the 6p with a bit of room left for clothes. The Coleman also has a small vestibule we had a mat and shelves for medicine books sunblock etc. Takes me about 45mins to setup the 10p with a bit of mucking around the 6p about 20minutes.
r/camping • Any reason not to get a bigger tent. ->This is the way, I did the same thing and regretted it. I guess you really have to experience it before you know. We have family of 4 and 6p was great.
r/camping • Any reason not to get a bigger tent. ->6person Coleman tent. They are inexpensive, and they will last long enough to get your money’s worth while you get the experience to know what you really need.
r/camping • Please help me pick a tent, I've gone down too long of a rabbit hole ->I have the Coleman 6 and it's great. You had the 4 so you know it goes up in about 90 seconds, not counting staking. It's hard to beat for the money.
r/camping • Tent recommendations for a couple of senior gentleman? ->6 person tent will be too small for 2 adults and 2 kids. Get an 8 I use a 30 year old Coleman 6 person. I probably average 20 nights a year with it.
r/camping • Looking for a solid 6-person tent — any recommendations? ->I've had a Coleman 6 for years. I'm 73. I have no issues setting up or taking down. So far it seems boat proof
r/camping • Tent recommendations for a couple of senior gentleman? ->My Coleman 6 person is still going strong after 30 years. I think they're about 200 now
r/camping • Affordable 6 person tent ->I have a Coleman 6 person tent for family trips. Absolutely fantastic, especially given the price! It has a main room, small “entry”, and then another covered smaller area outside. Makes for taking shoes off real easy and contains the mess to one area.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->That tent is a coleman montana 8 person. I have had 2 of them,.they are very sturdy when all the guy lines are used. It does well in the rain... the fly covers the 2 side windows very well. my only complaint would be the windows are high so there is not much air flow low down. I always bring a small fan so not an issue. The coleman 6 person is what I used last. It was fine after I my dog passed and it was just me. I like to have enough room to stand, and bring a chair and small table inside incase it rains. This one is 10x10' and 6' tall. https://preview.redd.it/vna1vl7a5krf1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c7cb984cda2696f6a6e11b307ce64be9bd89425
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Returns ->we are about to replace our coleman 6 person because we've used it SO much. had it since 2016. we bought it for a festival, and it's become our car camping tent ever since. we have kelty, alps mountaineering, and rei smaller tents, and love this coleman for everything, not back country.
r/camping • Good tents that fit at least 6 people that are available in Canada? ->It's not a two person but we have a 6 person Coleman tent my 6 ft husband can stand up in. Let me know if you want me to post the link
r/camping • Tent you can stand in comfortably ->After finishing up a trip this past weekend up in Maine I found out that my new 6 person Coleman tent is not water resistant to rain. I’m now looking for a tent that has a separate screened in room to utilize it as a mud room as well as a lounge room when the bugs are unbearable. Looking for quality suggestions preferably under $500. I found these tents below to be a desirable design but am not familiar with the quality or reputation of these tents. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-8-person-hybrid-tunnel-tent-with-screen-porch https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/wenzel-klondike-8-person-tent https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-8-person-hub-tent
r/CampingGear • Looking for suggestions on 6-8 person tent with screen vestibule ->Sometimes you can find 2 good flat spots at a campsite easier than one very large one. For certain ages you would want the kids with you. We have a 6 person Coleman that is comfortable for 4. If you use cots, you can store bags under the cots so that helps with space. Bigger tents tend to be taller too which allows you to stand.
r/camping • Tent for a family of 6 ->Mine had her uncle's ancient 1 person tent when she was like 6. She's a giant so when she got too tall for it a couple years later, we got her a 6 person Coleman tent (free from a work rewards thing, she'd have a smaller cheaper one otherwise) so she can stand up to change in it, and so her bestie who comes with us a lot doesn't have to sleep in a tent with adults
