Skydome 4-Person Camping Tent with LED Lighting

for that price, it's decent. Use it till it breaks and then find something better.

I've had my skydome easy up car camping on secluded state land half a dozen times. Handled moderate rain well. I've been happy with it. I use a cot inside of it and there's a loop to hang my battery powered fan/light.

They're not bad or good. They just do the job. There is better stuff and if you wear out the Coleman you should definitely upgrade and you'll know you camp often enough to need to upgrade. Or if you don't go very often the Coleman will work twice a year for a decade or so. Either way it's great for you to be getting back into camping.

Bummer. They arent very good in driving rain I'd fly a tarp over it . Set a tarp up about 3 feet above it . Buy a proper sized ground cloth .. Dig trenches when you set up . Don't wait until it rains . Have fun camping .

Our Troop has been using 4-person and 6-person Coleman Skydome tents for the last several years. The boys are rough on tents, so priorities are cost and ease of repair. Positives: - The tents themselves are quick to set up and pack away. - They are well ventilated. - Inexpensive and reasonably durable. Negatives: - They are not especially light, weighting between 8 and 13 lbs. - Poles are attached to the tent, which makes them easy to pack but could be a problem if a pole needs to be replaced. - Can handle rain when set up correctly, but may allow in water in a severe storm. On that last point, it's hard for me to provide a completely objective assessment because we have had Skydome tents become soggy in very bad weather, but this may be because of boys leaving the vent on the door open rather than issues with the tent itself.
