Skydome 4-Person Tent

I have the non lighted version I got on sale from Walmart for $70 four years ago and never had an issue. But I set the tent up under a 10x10 pop up canopy so really the tent has never seen rain.

I'd get a Coleman Skydome for $100. I go camping all the time and that's what I use

All I know is I've had the same Coleman for 4 years and has never leaked nor collapsed. If something happened to it I wouldn't feel bad and get another. If something happened to a $200-$300 tent I would feel bad.

Coleman makes an affordable black tent. After 25 years of avid camping, we are really enjoying the first season with ours! We never wanted or needed one, but I feel like I'm alot less exposed? The dark tent makes us feel cozier, and it's great in the bright mornings. There's less light/shadow figures at night, (think Austin Powers scene) but the main reason we liked this tent is that it has a full fly and covered vestibule. We live in a rainy climate, so this was important And was in our budget. Here's the Canadian Tire link, but we bought ours on sale from a sporting goods store.

We’ve car camped with a Coleman instant up (I think a Skydome 4) for 11 years. It survived a derecho at high elevation in 2020, and it has seen lots of rain and hail. We still use it for car camping a few times a year. There’s one pole on it that’s taped, couple patched up holes, and when it quits we’ll buy another one. For the price I don’t think we could ask much more out of it. Not saying you can’t do better, but they’re definitely not junk.

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.

I love my Coleman 4 person. Skydome? I think. Two adults, 45 pound dog. The first one had stitches pull at the zipper. They sent a new one for free, and I think it was made better. We might eventually get a 6 person something, but for $60 on clearance, I couldn't be happier. Never got wet inside, even in more serious thunderstorms. I even winter camped with it.

I am ready for a new 4p tent and am trying to choose between the Nemo Aurora highrise and the North Face Wawona. Input on which one would be an easier setup for a middle aged vertically challenged woman is appreciated! Currently using a skydome 4p which is a pretty easy set up for me. Thanks

That's why I got a 4 person Coleman Skydome though I camp solo. I’m 5’4” and can stand almost straight. Got a beach chair and bucket toilet in there too. Couldn't stand up in my 3 person. Mine has a substantial covered foyer. Not all models have it.

I camp alot, using an economical 4 person Coleman.
