Skydome 4-Person Tent

4 person with a 6' height so you can stand. you want extra room for gear and if it rains... maybe a chair or 2. I used an 8 person for just me and a dog. that way i had a table and chair in there plus room for the dog and her steel cage (yes i had to bring a steel cage for her - she was not a "people person" After the dog died, I got a coleman 4 person (10'x10')

Coleman makes decent lower cost tents. I had an 8 person that withstood several crazy winter storm fronts in florida while island camping (60-70 mph)...I did use all the guy lines and they were secured to trees or tree roots. I have also had a 4 person 10x10 dome tent from coleman that worked great https://preview.redd.it/f61egic2lptf1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7894d5619f7bcf8c2db3f933bfa9419af460dc4

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.

I bought a 4p sky dome from Walmart and the pole broke after the third time I set it up. I still had the receipt and I contacted Coleman and they gave me an entire new tent for free and let me keep the old one. I replaced the other pole so now I got two tents. Anyway, I think it’s a decent tent for the price and have no other complaints about it.

I had considered mentioning the 4p skydome. It’s held up for me 50mph gusts, 20-40 sustained.

For car camping, I’d get a Coleman 4p. I’ve had one for 5 years. Use it 3-4 times a year when I’m not backpacking. Then you can afford to get yourself a nicer backpacking tent. 3p Tarptent. Or 3p Marmot. I wouldn’t go down to 2, if you’re taking the pup.

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.

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.
