"The best part is the huge vestibule. ... On super rainy days we can set up our camp chairs in there and cook with the stove no problem, the dogs sleep out there and it's a great place to dry stuff."
"I’m 6’4” and I have plenty of room ... I sleep on the diagonal just for extra head room but I can fit straight across ... I can sit straight up in the tent and move around ... there’s still room in the tent for most of the extra gear in my pack"
"Can fit 2 cots, 2 camp chairs, and the dog bed no problem."

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"Shit man, I still got them and they still work great. Oldest one close to 15 years."
"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"
"I spent $80 on a six person and it went through multiple rainstorms a year. It started leaking after 6 years. Up until then, it kept us dry as a bone."

"Im camping now in a Coleman 4 person tent. 1 is comfy, 2 is cramped. 4 if we were midgets."
"I find that you basically have to halve the number of people advertised to fit in a tent to get a comfortable experience with space for gear and to be sleeping without being up against the side walls (which can cause moisture to transfer inside of the tent). ... my Coleman rent that is advertised as a 6 person tent but sleeps three plus gear better than it fits 6 sardines."
"Door is only on one side, which makes it hard to use 2 cots (6 person)."

"Nah, too heavy. ... It’s heavy af though, my wife could barely lift and fold it. ... We had a vista v2 and it was way too heavy"
"I wish I’d have known that mine wasn’t Disney compatible! ... I have the uppababy vista 2 and it’s not easy to just collapse and put back up when we got on buses. ... It’s not hard but you have to take the seat out and all that. So we were holding the stroller part, the seat and her. HARD!"
"The Vista is great--I definitely wouldn't travel with it, though. ... I simply would not have taken all the trips I took, especially alone, if I'd had to deal with more complicated gear. ... anytime you want to actually travel anywhere with it you've got to get the carseat out, get all the crap out of the storage basket, fold the stupid stroller, install the stupid carseat, get yourself into the car, then do it all again in reverse when you get out--and that's not adequately describing the emotional stress you feel as a new mom leaving your baby in the backseat of a taxi while you go put the stroller in the trunk."

"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 always thought Coleman made a decent tent until this past weekend when I found out the hardway with water seeping through every seem of the tent"

If you love the Naturehike Dune Hot Tent for the tall porch but want a smaller footprint, you can consider the Coleman WeatherMaster or Coleman Skydome with Screen Porch. Both have covered, waterproof porch areas where you can stand and take off your wet gear, and they fit 2-3 people comfortably with room for an air mattress. These are budget-friendly car camping options with easy setup and good weather protection. Check out [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeepThisInMind/comments/1mdmrgb/reddit_2_person_best_camping_tents_recommendations/) for more detailed reviews and tips. I hope it 'll help you find the perfect tent for your needs!
r/CampingGear • 2-3 person tent with tall waterproof porch recommendations? ->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 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? ->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? ->I rock a Coleman WeatherMaster tent. Lists as a 6-person but also has a screened in porch (lol). It’s huge, can easily stand up inside. Comfortably fits a large inflatable queen air mattress for the wife & I, pack’n’play for our 1 1/2 year old daughter and our 4 year old son sleeps on a backpacking air pad. We stagger our bedtimes to put the youngest down first, keeping my 4 year old up a little later and then he’ll go to bed once she’s passed out. We’ll usually stay up for another hour or two before going to bed ourselves. I used to turn my nose up at Coleman tents but this one was $300 a few years ago and it’s been great for our family.
r/CampingGear • Need a 6 person tent. Down to 2 options. ->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 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? ->As a single adult scout leader I run a 4 person instant Coleman tent. I sleep on my own 95% of the time. In a pinch I could provide room for another leader. I have a 6-person but it’s way too big for me by myself. Before the Coleman I had a 4 person malamoo mega that I really liked.
r/camping • Tent Recommendations for Simple Scout Camp ->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 ->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
