PEAK1™ 6-Person Dome Tent

Kelty Day Dreamer 6p - Simple, only two poles, blackout rainfly and large back vent Coleman Peak 1 6p - Cabin-esque tent with plenty of mesh and large front door that has a canopy mode in the fly Aurora Highrise 6p - Another canopy mode tent with windows on the inside for catching cross breezes even with the fly on and a back vestibule and door Snow Peak Alpha Breeze (bit heavier here) - Four doors/windows to catch all breezes, clean white rainfly helps deflect more heat, large doors and canopy mode in the fly REI Basecamp 6 - Extra poles for a more wind resistant tent, symmetrical design allows the rainfly to be pitched on either side, one side has an extended vestibule for more space and shade, canopy mode on both sides of the rainfly, and internal windows to let cool air in and plenty of vents. Lots of privacy even with the rainfly off and the choice to open panels for better ventilation. Honorable mention because it's a unique one: Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 4 - Its one tent, comprised of two smaller sleep sections (think of two roomy two person tents) conjoined by a sort of common space between them all under the roof of one large rainfly, each tent section has its own entry and the common space has two doors, and canopy mode feature.

I have the Coleman Dome 6 (two of them) and a Core 9P, both have been great. Just left Bennett Springs in Missouri in our Coleman 6P and stayed dry the whole weekend.

I love the Coleman 6 person dome tents. I use them for my Girl Scout troop. If you want to use them in colder temps, I recommend the Darkroom over the Sundome. The rainfly goes lower and provides more insulation.

i THINK it was a sundome - was purchased in 2021

I have a 6 person coleman dome tent for myself. It would absolutely work for 2 people. I like my space, and if it rains I can fit my xl zero gravity chair in it and not disrupt my set up. I, personally, wouldn't go smaller than a 6 person for 2 people.

We have a Coleman tent and love it! It’s not a cabin tent though, it’s the 6 person dome tent (I think). It’s spacious enough for the two of us and our belongings (we keep our kiddos bags with us too) and it keeps us dry. Our kiddos had a Kazoo tent and it leaked from the bottom. We didn’t have that issue with the Coleman so we bought another Coleman for the kids.

These are backpacking tents made with material that is lighter and more expensive than typical tents. If you're car camping, a $200 Coleman 6p+ tent will be more than fine for a while. MyLifeOutdoors did a video on YT about a month ago talking about it a little.

Is it a tent that can fit 3 people, or is it marketed as a 3-person tent. I find that you basically have to halve the number of people advertised to fit in a tent to get a comfortable experience with space for gear and to be sleeping without being up against the side walls (which can cause moisture to transfer inside of the tent). Hiking/backpacking tents are tiny to pack and are lightweight. You can get three of them and still have room to spare compared to my Coleman rent that is advertised as a 6 person tent but sleeps three plus gear better than it fits 6 sardines.

Everyone here is saying don't buy this tent - however, I owned this tent and loved it. I spent $80 on a six person and it went through multiple rainstorms a year. It started leaking after 6 years. Up until then, it kept us dry as a bone. Coleman is GREAT entry level and will keep you dry. If you camp a LOT though, I'd go a step up and buy a Kelty tent.   I'd get a warmer sleeping bag. For Joshua Tree in December get something rated for at least 30. It gets cold in the desert at night. If you use an air mattress, put a fleece blanket or yoga mat between yourself and your mattress. It will keep you soooo much warmer by keeping you off plastic filled with cold air. 

This is what I came here to say. Walmart Coleman tent for car camping, you could even do the 6 person and get plenty of room
