Coleman - Instant Up Gold 10 Person Tent

https://www.snowys.com.au/instant-up-gold-10p-tent Had this one for years with an Oztrail gazebo. Quick set up and great in all sorts of weather. Plenty of space with a divider that you can leave open all the time (which we did). Our family grew out of it and the boys want their own tent now, but the nearly 8 yr old tent is still going strong (handed down to my sister).

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.

Smaller then my 10 man Coleman.

I don’t have this specific tent but a similar 10 person Coleman and it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great. Our setup was done with 1 person and it went up in about 15 mins.

I've had a Coleman 10p tent for around 13 years now and it's still going strong!

I have a new 10p Coleman that I just got to replace our old, similar Coleman cabin tent and I love it. The old one held up for years of abuse and I kind of just wanted to treat us to a shiny new one, the older could still be used for years to come. 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. Otherwise, I'm sure this tent is awesome and the dark tech sounds fabulous too!

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.

If your taking tents 1. Black wolf turbo 240 tent is great for 4p plus storage also has a awning it’s up in 30 seconds lots of room to stand up in but by the time you put the fly on and guy everything out it’s a good 30 mins I personally have the turbo plus 300 I had young kids and mum and father in law used to come it’s a massive tent hence me recommending it but if I could do it again I’d get the 240 I’m bias to this tent had it for 12 years never missed a beat and I like the style This is glamping 2. Oztent rv5 a close 2nd for me 3. Coleman instant up These above tents are for car camping only some destinations and sites require you to walk in and you ain’t walking these guys in Swags Want an actual 5 min set up get a double swag ive just recently downsized to darche dusk to dawn double swag plenty of space inside I wasn’t worried about being claustrophobic but I did worry about the sag in the walls and the mattress as my wife has a bad back and she didn’t complain and the walls didn’t seem to sag in for me Really simple and easy to set up literally like a min I feel like you don’t need a bed frame just extra weight and space to carry If your worried at about sagging grab a pool noodle and wack it in the middle like a arch but we didn’t need it To change clothes either lay down in swag or change in car If you need shade or protection from rain either gotta get a awning or a couple hiking tarps tarps (Alton)and guy ropes and poles pegs (groundhogs) Some swags are out of control and they more like a tent and defeats the purpose of a swag which is simplicity so don’t get carried away simple is best Hiking tents Want versatility of both car camping and the ability to walk into a camp because of the destination like newnes plateau hiking tents is the way to go very light simple easy to use and probably for your purpose you would want a free standing tent I would recommend getting a 3p for 2 people for space as 2p is a snug sardine fit I really like the Mont Moondance tent it’s pretty bombproof there is ultralight non free standing which require hiking poles or zflick poles to set it up like the durston x-mid 2 Mont only have one sale a year Black Friday which just passed All of the tents except the swag require mats And sleeping bags or quilts The higher the r value of your mat the more warmer the insulated the mat is and this is the key to a warm nights sleep as the coldness comes from the ground up So get a really good quality mat 1st before the sleeping bag Lights are very important coz you can’t see by the moonlight Get a larger tent for 1p-2p up for the amount of people camping to store bags and stuff inside And an icebox not esky to keep things chilled 40-60l is a good size chill the box down 3-4 days prior to leaving with bags of ice (not meth) from the servo let that cool down and melt drain the water once in a while then chill all the products in fridge/freezer before wack in ice box and top up with ice right after 1-2 bags will do that will last like up to 7 days as long as you draining water out I’ve lasted 2 weeks with an icebox as long as top up the ice and drain water at blue waterholes campground These are things I wish I knew and learnt earlier on and over time Once you start down this path you will eventually own all 3 sets ups like me multiple tents, mats and bags and quilts Enjoy

Get one you can stand in or almost. Coleman ‘’instant tent’’ is not hard to set up. Best by tarp for rain fly so rain doesn’t go in windows

I second this, I've bought 2 Coleman instant up tents and they are perfect. I do have a more hardcore tent but that's for hikes.

Only used it once so far but we just got the Coleman Instant. Stayed dry in a huge rainstorm. Up in a minute and much roomier than our last REI tent.

Coleman Instant Tent. We love ours. Ton of space.

If casual and your car is nearby, the Coleman instant someone mentioned is awesome. My kid could assemble it in like 5 minutes by 6 years old and it’s tall enough for me (5’4”). Also that bad boy had been through nephews and nieces and drunk friends and is remarkably unscathed.  Bonus points: can fit an air mattress. Because sometimes I feel fancy. 

4 man (or up) Coleman. I do not recommend the Instant Up as mine leaks, and there’s an aftermarket rainfly so it’s a known issue. If you have an Ollie’s, check there first

The Coleman Instant Tent has a known issue with leaks so they sell an additional aftermarket rainfly. But the other tents don’t have that problem.

These replies are spot on. My wife and I have a couple options depending on what type of camping we're getting into. Our favorite by far is our canvas bell tent. It's a Biggins and is incredibly comfortable for a long weekend regardless of the weather. In the summer they stay cool, and in the winter a little buddy heater can keep it near 70*f even if it's below freezing outside. If the trip is shorter and weather fairer we'll set up a Coleman instant tent (id love a gazelle though) but what we've been doing more often than not is just sleeping in the bed of our truck under a softopper? with a nice air mattress and a tarp setup in case of weather. It's quick to set up, minimal staking guys if any, it's the way to go if your trip has you moving day to day.

How much boot space do you have, the Coleman Instant Up is excellent, BUT takes a lot of room. Quality... a mixed bag, I had a mate who developed a hole in the tent within the first year, and managed to get to replaced. I had an issue with one the the buttons on the instant up pole just giving falling apart. That might just be 2 people, and everyone else is fine!

Don't waste your money on Coleman tents. Im so very disappointed in both of mine. Im super careful, always use a thick tarp, and mostly camp in established campsites. Both of my Coleman Instant tents have holes in the floor after just 2 uses. Both of them leaked water in a moderate storm. Just get a Gazelle or Core Tent. I have a Core Awning that is 7 years old and still works great. Im just now needing to replace the canopy cover after a stick poked a hole in it.

I started with a simple dome tent. Easy to put up, but terrible in bad weather. Upgraded to a Coleman instant up. Much better than the dome tent, but much more difficult to pack down. The pole design means they are under twist pressure, and after I'd replaced the third set of poles I decided to go inflatable. Bought a Zempire Evo. Only slightly bigger than the instant up, but the tent design means it stands much taller. The inflatable ribs are super sturdy, can't imagine how you would puncture them. Easy to put up and also pack down. Really happy with my choice.

The Coleman and the Zempire are both 3 room tents (10 person, but of course not really10 ). The Zempire is slightly bigger when packed but weighs 6Kg less than the Coleman. We do car camping in winter, so size not so much of a factor. Both of them I can put up on my own, but the inflatable is much quicker. When it is up it's taller and wider than the Coleman. We found that in bad weather the Coleman was too cramped whilst we crowded in and kept out of the rain. Double the price of course, but worth it in our situation. Coleman was a real pain packing down - aligning the tent poles so it it could fold over was tricky, and the poles kept breaking. No worry now with the Zempire.

The removable bottom does not seal the tent. More bugs get in than normal. I will say that I had a Coleman instant tent for 13 years with no issues.

I had a Coleman instant tent for 13 years with no leaks. One trip to the same campground with the T4, leak, and bugs. It made me sad.

I am glad you have had a better experience. It leaked. It was too small for me. The door was a total pain. I would never remove the floor either, but that was one of the reasons I purchased it, only to find out that it allowed bugs in the tent. I didn't even use those pockets. It was easy to put up and take down. However, the Coleman instant tent I had for 13 years prior was just as easy and a fraction of the price :)

I'm glad you have had a better experience. In 20 years of camping at that same campground, I have never had bugs inside my tent. Other than flies. I never said I refuse to use Amazon because I can't return. I do not and will not use Amazon. It has nothing to do with their return policy. The cost of shipping it back was the issue because the manufacturer does not cover the cost of a return. That is why I mentioned buying locally.

I had a Coleman tent that I used for the past 13 years with no issues until the zipper broke. It was an instant tent, tall, no bugs, no leaks, and plenty of room. I suppose my expectations were high considering my experience with my Coleman and the price of this tent. I am used to the outdoors, but I still don't want bugs or water in my bed. I'm not sure why people are getting so heated. I posted my experience so others will be more prepared. If I had known all that I do now, I would not have purchased it. Someone else mentioned other brands, so im going to do more research and wait to buy until after the season. It will be locally purchased, and it won't be this brand.

Maybe I did. I used a Coleman for 13 years with no issues, and it was only 129 bucks. I think that is why I was so shocked and disappointed after paying 420 for this one. I'm glad others have had good experiences. I have not and am searching for a different tent now.

Coleman instant up is the one I have and I love it

We bought Coleman instant tent last year on sale, super fast setup and take down.

I like my coleman instant tent. I use an 8 person for 1-2 people just cuz its so easy to put up and take down Its withstood 20mph constant winds with gusts higher for 2 weeks straight for me as well as other windy dusty rainy situations I use 16 inch tent spikes for the tent and rain cover
