"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."
"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’ve had this tent since 2018 and used it probably 70-90 times. It’s been great."

"It has poles always attached and sets up like an easy up. ... Realistically I have it up in less than 5 minutes even with the kids helping and then we can play. ... I learned the most important factor to look at is easy. Not what's the best or the most sturdy. Nope what's quick and easy that way you actually use it."
"Our setup was done with 1 person and it went up in about 15 mins."

"The one feature that I LOVE and this one doesn't have is the hinged swinging door. It's a huge game changer for kids going in and out of the tent non stop."

"The Coleman "instant cabin" would probably be an easier setup, but not much easier, and at cost of some sturdiness."
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 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? ->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 ->We camp a lot and I still get a Coleman or similar. For car camping. My kid or dogs ends up doing something stupid so I don’t want an expensive one. A $100 tent lasts us years. I suggest a cabin style tho.
r/CampingGear • Kelty, Coleman or Big Agnes 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.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->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
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->If weight and bulk isn’t an issue - which I guess carrying two cots prolly isn’t… Coleman’s pop up cabin tent is 👌
r/camping • Recommendations for a tent for two cots ->I have the coleman version of the first tent, not blackout. I have used it to take little kids camping and it works well. Just mind the fact the footprint of such a large tent may be hard to fit into sites.
r/camping • Please help me pick a tent, I've gone down too long of a rabbit hole ->I have a Coleman instant up cabin tent and it’s completely waterproof. I suspect your tent is flawed and should be returned
r/CampingGear • Looking for suggestions on 6-8 person tent with screen vestibule ->I got this for my winter tent. And at this point it’s my everything tent except for the middle of ca summer
r/camping • Tent suggestions on a budget - reviews are contradicting.. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
