6-Person Dome Tent

I used a Coleman tent for six years when I was broke, the Willow Pass model from Academy. It went through snowstorms, 50mph wind, heavy rain….stayed bone dry every time. I upgraded to a Mountain Hardwear tent last spring and the rainfly failed on the first trip out lol.

I like the Coleman 6 man dome tents. I use them for my Girl Scout troop. They have a 10x10 foot print which works with just about every campground. They pitch easily (I have children pitching them). They fit two queen air mattresses if that’s how you want to go. You can also fit four cots or (my favorite, you can arrange 3 cots in a U and have plenty of room in the middle to stand and get dressed. Tall enough to stand in. They pack down into something reasonably sized. They’re cost effective. I buy them second hand from people who went camping once and decided they didn’t like it and I end up paying about $50 each. I have 9 of them now.

I love the Coleman 6 person dome tents. I use them for my Girl Scout troop. If you want to use them in colder temps, I recommend the Darkroom over the Sundome. The rainfly goes lower and provides more insulation.

6 person tent is nice and roomie but you only need a two 4 person tents. I'd go Coleman as a basic tent it comes with everything but a tarp to lay under it. Scouting they usually tent two to a tent with smaller kids having an extra person in their tent.

Lost my Coleman darkroom 6 person tent a few years ago to a heavy snow storm, replaced with their regular 6 person dome from Costco on sale and I miss the darkroom tent so much. Best car camping tent I’ve ever used.

You predicted it, but here I am to say a 6 person Coleman dome. If you don't want the dog sleeping _on_ you the answer is cots and not mats unfortunately. 

If you are car camping then honestly Coleman is my favorite. Tarpaulin bottom, sturdy, long lasting, and inexpensive. The downside is they are heavy, which doesn't matter when car or canoe camping.  The instant cabin tents go up very easily as one person. But if you are in a really windy area then a dome would be better.
