Instant Up Darkroom

I have a Coleman instant up dark room tent. Its the 10 person but it comes in a 4 person too. It is hands down the best tent I've ever had. Buy myself I have setup down to 10mins and pack up like 5mins. Ive had it in hurricane force winds only to find the camp-site totally destroyed in the morning. Except my trusty Coleman! It acted like a bombshelter because I slept through all of it. If you are car camping dont stress on the weight too much.

I've got one of those - after a year the "dark" coating became so sticky and gross that I've stopped using it. Not covered under warranty they claim we did something wrong but I can't think of what and others have had the same issue. We've tossed the fly in the bin and use it as a second tent / put it under a tarp if we're worried about rain.

Try the Coleman instant up darkroom tent if you can. It's a winner for our family!

Ok so I got the Coleman 4p instant up dark room tent and mate it’s a ripper it’s pretty easy to put up quite heavy but that might not be a problem for you? It’s very tall I think 190cm so can stand up in it this is the tent https://www.snowys.com.au/instant-up-4p-lighted-northstar-darkroom-tent I love it and you can fit a double and a single bed in it with a gap in the middle about 20cm so plenty wide and the foot room is amazing like 30-40cm  So I would recommend this one and I have heard that they are stronger than the oztrail ones 🤷. I

if you are getting older (or just want to have an easy setup) go a Coleman instant up tent

The one touch pop-up then twist to close types can be deceptively difficult to close unless you're used to that twist and turn type. I'm shit at it and broke one so I got an "instant up" type that you can push down to open up squeeze to close. You can see an example if you Google: インスタントアップサンシェード 

I got mine at Kohnan like 4 years ago for 6000yen I think? It's still going strong with 2 kids and multiple outings over the years. 

We have a Coleman dark room instant-up. We’ve got the 10 man, so it’s pretty bulky, but it comes in smaller sizes. I particularly love the dark room feature - awesome for day time naps for the little ones.

Dark room tents were just appearing right after I got my instant tent so I missed the boat, but instant tents are a heck yeah from me. I call them relationship savers. No hunting for tent poles, trying to fit this to there, having to roll the tent tight to get it bagged up. Yes, they're heavy and not meant for backpacking or lugging any distance. They're bigger packed than regular tents, but I can put it up and take it down on my own and don't need to crawl around on the ground for anything.
