My coleman hampton 6 survived 50mph winds in the big bend area one year. I added extra guy lines to the posts and anchored them to big rocks which i built cairs over to hold everything down. It swayed a lot by survived My friends earth pimple had snapped poles by morning
Coleman cabin tents. Used for years until we finally upgraded to canvas. The thing ill miss the most from my colemans? The swinging door. Awesome for day time use for getting in and out of tent without zipping and unzipping all the time. Hampton is the model we've had for 8 years or so. If youre near Baltimore, id even let you borrow mine.

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.
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.
Had the Coleman Cabin tent for about 5 years and was solid. What finally did it in were 70mph gusts at Joshua Tree (still have wind PTSD from that lol). And the CORE tents from Costco are legit too.
The Coleman cabin is my go to for car camping. I've got over 100 days on mine.
I have the cabin tent as well - love the room/ability to stand up straight in it. I didn't initially love that the rainfly doesn't entirely cover the sides, but I had it set up during a crazy storm and had no water come in it. Really nicely designed
I’ve used the North Face Wawona 4 and 6, along with a 4 and 6 man Coleman. The Coleman’s held up surprisingly well. They don’t do as well in the wind or rain though. The NF tents are a much higher quality though. Thicker poles, stronger fabric, better in the rain, better features. Something to think about is size. The smaller tents are easier and faster to setup. Plus you need less soft. The Wawona 6 has a huge vestibule/ rain fly. It takes a lot longer to setup, and while I can do it all solo it takes much more time than the 4. My 2 and 3 man backpacking tents are even faster. If you are getting in late and go with a normal tent, smaller is probably better.
