Evanston Screened

We have both a Coleman Evanston and a North Face Wawona (both 6 person) and they are similarly sized and yes, we have had trouble fitting them in some tent pads. There are definitely sites in most of the campgrounds we visit where only a 4 person max tent w/o vestibule would fit.

I 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.

The 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

My 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.

I 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.

I 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.

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.

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

Is it a tent that can fit 3 people, or is it marketed as a 3-person tent. 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). Hiking/backpacking tents are tiny to pack and are lightweight. You can get three of them and still have room to spare compared to my Coleman rent that is advertised as a 6 person tent but sleeps three plus gear better than it fits 6 sardines.

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.
