"For car camping I like Coleman 6p tents. ... 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"
"We put two double mattresses in the 6p with a bit of room left for clothes."
"I own a 6-person tent for me and one kid. That fits two air mattresses and gives us space to stand, change clothes, keep our bags, etc."

"I find the screened roof area just lets the wind whistle through as the rain fly edge is so close. ... Great for ventilation when it’s warm, awful if it’s actually cold. ... I wouldn’t consider using it in winter at all, but we have very wet and snowy winters here."

"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."
Depends on if you’ll be clamping or camping. Backpacking? I’d go for a 3 person. Car camping and want a 9”-12” queen inflatable mattress with room for seating and heating? Go for one of those Coleman barn tents. I’ve still got 12’x12’ old style M.A.S.H tent that I winter glamp with. Had it over 40 years. Bulletproof, but heavy. Camp the way you wanna camp. If you or your significant other is a noob, go for comfort first. That’s the only way my wife will camp. I prefer everything I need in my 50L pack, but when the queen is with me, we glamp.
I have a similar model (without vestibule) Coleman tent to the one in your link, and camp in Newfoundland Canada. It’s pretty solid and holds up to heavy winds and ongoing days of rain. I find the screened roof area just lets the wind whistle through as the rain fly edge is so close. Great for ventilation when it’s warm, awful if it’s actually cold. I wouldn’t consider using it in winter at all, but we have very wet and snowy winters here.
These are backpacking tents made with material that is lighter and more expensive than typical tents. If you're car camping, a $200 Coleman 6p+ tent will be more than fine for a while. MyLifeOutdoors did a video on YT about a month ago talking about it a little.
6 is the right call. It's pretty luxurious by tenting standards. Our 6 person Coleman as enough space to have a queen sized mattress on one side, where we each get our own "end table" (aka plastic bucket that we store camping gear in) to put our glasses, books, phones, w/e on. In the middl, we lay out a couple of yoga mats to make the ground softer, and then on the side opposite of the mattress we have our luggage. Our tent isn't quiet tall enough for the rnus to stand fully up right, but it's close.
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.
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
I don't know about everyone else, but I've been camping like every year for the last 10 years at least, 3 seasons, through rains, winds, etc, and the first 8 of those years were done with my wife in a $50 4 person tent from Outbound/Coleman/Ozark etc, whatever the cheap stuff is at Walmart/Canadian Tire.. The last 2 years I switched to a 6 person Coleman I got for $60 on sale, because I had a baby and needed more room lol.. If it's your first time camping, I really don't see why anyone would recommend you spend hundreds of dollars when you can have a perfect experience with $50 lol (btw, never had a leak, any openings in the tent (like for running cables) you can just put a piece of tape over, and the only bugs you'll get are the ones you let in lol Tip: only go in and out of your tent without any lights on so as to not attract bugs
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.
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
My Coleman 6 person is still going strong after 30 years. I think they're about 200 now
My 6 person Coleman has served me well from coast to coast and Australia to Belize. Great tent for 25 years until someone rifled thru my storage shed and stole the poles. Then a couple years later I found a set at Goodwill. I got home to see if they truly were Coleman and they were my set!
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
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
