"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"I also loved how tall it was, you can probably stand up straight even as a tall person. ... Standing up straight in a tent is a game changer"
"I'm 6'3 and can stand up in it."

"never deflates"
"Also pitched it on bare rock using rocks to hold the stakes on a decently breezy night and it was pretty bombproof."

"It rained heavily overnight, and while the screen porch was damp, we and all our things inside the tent were completely dry."
"I've camped in this for a few summers and it's kept me nice and dry (which is amazing because summer 2023 we had almost 3 straight months of rain here)."
"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 love having that screened in foyer. ... Helps with keeping the main cabin clean and if the bugs are bad, I can sit in there and not get eaten alive."
"it had a built in screen porch side that gave you the choice to have a tent and screen porch all in one. A true glamping tent!"
"I also refuse to let bugs into the tent if possible and I had a [6 person Coleman] tent that had a “screened porch” feature ... There were two separate zipper doors, so we made sure one door was always closed (I.e. if you want to go into the main tent area, close the outer one)."

"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."

"only complaint would be a lack of air flow as all the windows were a few feet above the ground so it was tough to get air flowing through the tent."
"my only complaint would be the windows are high so there is not much air flow low down."

"We went from a Coleman 4 person tent to a Coleman 12 tent. We also have a queen blow up mattress & having the extra room is amazing."
"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."

"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"
KPR_2002 1.0I have a 6 person Coleman Evanston which is very similar to the skydome. I know Coleman isn’t then fanciest name or gets the best reputation, but it is honestly the best tent I have ever had. I love having that screened in foyer. Helps with keeping the main cabin clean and if the bugs are bad, I can sit in there and not get eaten alive.
LilySeekers 1.0The Coleman cabin camping tent with screen porch works well for me. I love that it has the screen porch for those rainy days, and it also keeps the bugs out since I can create an airlock lol. I've camped in this for a few summers and it's kept me nice and dry (which is amazing because summer 2023 we had almost 3 straight months of rain here). https://a.co/d/bUMx8hA
lithigin 1.0My Coleman Evanston 6-person is tall enough to just barely stand up in (I'm 6'+) and fits a cot, with a screened front porch.
LowAd2091 1.0Coleman 6-Person Dome Tent with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004E4AW1K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Plenty big, and has an excellent rain fly for when it rains. Most rain flys on tents like this go down just a little bit over the side of the tent.
melina_c_janeMN 1.0I also refuse to let bugs into the tent if possible and I had a [6 person Coleman](https://www.coleman.com/tents-canopies/tents-by-size/evanston-screened-6-person-tent/SAP_2206933.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Coleman_Outdoor_US_2024_DTC_NB_DSA_1861426&utm_term=&utm_content=Tents&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD0GYNpRAxJFLO41csGaoL_J0xMZy&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy46_BhDOARIsAIvmcwNAZQCYgTIW9YOJ5yGtIlhVWP7ae8S5opVIK92495MPci-nO6Eeu20aAsAGEALw_wcB&actionPoint=Show) tent that had a “screened porch” feature, which I believe you can get with other tent brands too. There were two separate zipper doors, so we made sure one door was always closed (I.e. if you want to go into the main tent area, close the outer one). I got mine on sale for $60 and it lasted me two years before I let it get too gross from all the rain/mud 😬
Witty-Temporary-1782 1.0I have the six person Coleman Evanston with the screen porch, and it fit my Webelos Cub Scout and me with our cots this summer camp, with plenty of room between for dressing while standing up. It rained heavily overnight, and while the screen porch was damp, we and all our things inside the tent were completely dry. It is definitely not a backpacking tent. I prefer putting it in a wagon to take to the campsite. I bought it used, and replaced a broken main pole from Tentpole Technologies.
DaveyoSlc 0.8I also am a huge Eureka fan. Out grew the pinnacle tent. I found the Coleman Evanston is pretty damn good and it has a screened in porch for extra room and it's been through a few rain storms no problem and it's got a nice fly. I found the porch to be awesome for weather because it gives you a buffer from a nice clean sleep area and a place to transition while still dry.
Adept_Exercise_6759 0.7https://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
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.
Amazon has it for $384 right now Search “Colemen Tents and scroll down
Gills_n_Thrills 0.3We 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.
Top_RAHmen 0.2I 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
