If the budget can afford it, stepping up from the Coleman Silver to the Gold/Northstar range is a significant increase in quality and experience. Treat it well and it will last for years.

I can't speak to durability, but my Coleman EZ has lived a long life through a lot. But tent sizes seem to be incredibly deceiving. There's two of us and a 6-person tent is tight. I may be a snob?, but if the tent fits in roughly the same-sized bag, go for a larger tent.

I've used 4,6,8 man Coleman Instant Tents for years. Goes up in about 3 minutes, comes down in about 8 minutes (you have to roll it and smash it back in the carrying bag.

I have a 4,6 and 8 person Coleman Insta-tent. I take the 8 person when my wife goes with me. Plenty of room, actually has a divider to section it off into two rooms. Get the biggest tent you can afford. You'll never regret extra space,

I'm looking at both. Have the Coleman instant up Silver but looking at the North Star because it's got built in lights and a vestibule which is very handy. Will probably just get a cheap king's swag for myself. Currently only have the tent for the family but I snore and keep my wife up so I'm looking at buying a swag so I can sleep next to the car or something.

Yup. As long as weight doesn’t matter, just get a brand like Coleman’s quick set up tents and be done with it.

If you frequently hop between places and are ok with packing up your camp each day. Get a hardshell RTT. If you base camp, or want a better compromise. Get a Quick setup ground tent, one of the Coleman instant tents to start.

Why floorless? Coleman’s instant tents have 4p and 6p variants with 6ft+ of head room
