Coleman - Montana 8-Person Tent

I have an 8 man Coleman Montana. I've used it several times with my 4 kids but without my wife, or with my wife but just 3 kids and we have plenty of room. We could still fit 6 of us in there, but at that point there wouldn't be as much room to spread out. In your situation I'd recommend starting with the 6 man and expanding as needed. Because a large tent is much harder to find a good flat spot clear of roots and rocks.

I have a Coleman 8 person Montana tent, it has room on one side for a queen size bed and the other end we put 2 chairs in comfortably. I'm on my 3rd year with it, haven't had any problems and not a bad price. You definitely want to spray/waterproof any tent you get.

Absolutely worth it. A two person tent is a one person tent. For car camping my recommendation is to get a $100 Coleman you can stand up in or nearly stand up in.

I think those are the best deal around, and if your dog bursts through the zipper at night and breaks it, you can just get another tent.

It's not that much more difficult. The length of the poles make it slightly harder but you can definitely do it yourself. A bigger tent takes up twice the space at most in the car depending on what you get.

We have a Coleman 8 person dome dent that my 2 nephews use when camping with us & it's the perfect size for 2 people + gear. A queen size mattress fills the 4 man tent almost completely.

I agree that the Coleman is a great value. I have a 8p one and use it for troop outings. When it’s just my son and I, I opt for my smaller 4p one as it is easier to set up and tear down.

We have a Coleman 8 person for the two of us and it’s awesome. It’s no more hassle and way more comfortable than our little one.

I found a Coleman 8 person tent for $100 new for car camping. It is huge. Queen sized air mattress fits with room to walk around. Of course I have to have two bags to haul it around but I’m just dropping it on the ground maybe 20’ from the car. The screened porch is nice but if you put your cooler out there some raccoons may want to have a look.

For car camping we use a Coleman 8 person tent. Being able to stand upright in the center is amazing, and having one side for chairs if it's raining is a bonus.
