I love my Coleman Skydome Camping Tent with Screened Porch & 5-Minute Setup, Weatherproof. I have been using my tent now since the release. Love the size of the 6 person tent which gives us plenty of space for my girlfriend and I sleeping on cots with a small table and chairs inside and a center height of 6 feet which is awesome because i don’t want to be leaning over trying to put my clothes on. Plus there is a screen porch added to the tent for more storage space. This is where my Labrador sleeps. The rain fly if full and covers the entire tent. I have been a 6 day camping trip with 3 days of heavy rain and winds and the tent never failed. Right now the tent is on sale through Amazon.

Hands down the Coleman Skydome Camping Tent with Screened Porch & 5-Minute Setup, Weatherproof. I purchased mine when it was first released and I chose the 6 person tent because I wanted lots of room. I’m 6’4” tall so having a tent to stand up in is a huge bonus for me. My Girlfriend and I sleep on Cots so what we do is put a couple chairs and a small table inside the tent which allows us to sit and play games or read at night or during bad weather. This tent has a full rain fly that goes all the way to the ground on all sides. Plus you get a screen porch attached to the tent which is great place to store your gear. Dimensions 10’5” L x 12’5” W x 6’ H. Right now it’s on sale at Amazon. Definitely keep you under $500 cap. I’ve used my tent 18 times in the past year and a half. Many times in bad weather conditions. We stayed dry and comfortable at one location for 5 days 3 of those days were heavy rain and winds. I recommend you get some screw in tent stakes for bad weather they really help hold the tent down all allow for full ventilation as well.

I haven’t found the instant tents to hold up well in bad weather conditions. This is my current tent for the past 2 years. I’ve used it 26 times already and absolutely loved it. The rain fly is all the way down for full waterproof coverage. [Coleman 6 person Skydome](https://a.co/d/7irT4lW)

Big Agnes would be my first choice if I had to choose between the two that you are suggesting. Another choice is what I’ve been using for about 2 years and that is the Coleman 6 person Skydome. I’ve been very impressed with the design and space provided. Unlike many tent this is a tent that offers a full waterproof rain fly and a screen room that is attached to the tent which allows a option for gear storage or extra sleeping space. Plus being around $255 is even better for your budget. [Coleman Skydome 6 person](https://a.co/d/3N7mzxx)

Yes, and it has a full rain fly for the screen room as well. Click on the link there is a video as well. I’ve been in some heavy rain storms and stayed bone dry.

I have been extremely impressed and happy with my Coleman Skydome 6person tent. It’s not the best for backpacking but great for car camping. I use mine in the PNW and Olympic Peninsula. https://preview.redd.it/79gwcgjd3h0g1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dc6b72e953dc22e25ee21a39d1fd59e0cfec6d1 It sells for around $250 unless you buy the Skydome Dark Room where the are charging more $350+ Coleman offers a nice waterproof tent with the Skydome the rain fly comes all the way down to the ground. Coleman also has a tarp like material that covers the floor and 6” up the side walls so even if water was underneath the tent you would not get wet. Skydome offers enough room for my girlfriend and I to relax comfortably without having to put our clothes on while sitting. We use 2 cots with memory foam and in between each others cot is a small table and two chairs. This is nice when the weather is bad. Skydome offers a screen porch that works great for gear or pets to sleep at the same time full rain fly on the entire tent. This will be my 3rd year using this tent. I average about 20 weekends of camping from Late April to October. The tent has performed wonderfully.

If you love the Naturehike Dune Hot Tent for the tall porch but want a smaller footprint, you can consider the Coleman WeatherMaster or Coleman Skydome with Screen Porch. Both have covered, waterproof porch areas where you can stand and take off your wet gear, and they fit 2-3 people comfortably with room for an air mattress. These are budget-friendly car camping options with easy setup and good weather protection.

I hope it 'll help you find the perfect tent for your needs!

We just camped in a Coleman with a "porch" and that is a real game-changer! 4-6 person was pretty big for 2 gals, but it was easy and comfy.

We have a 6 person Coleman sky dome and my 5’11 partner can stand comfortably in the middle, not so much the sides. It only ran us a little over $200 so maybe a 10 person would have better height and still be in your budget. Space was a big priority for us but we are not made of money lol and Coleman tents seemed to be the sweet spot, I’d browse their website.

Damn we bought ours for that price in the last couple months?

On the coleman website the 6 person is around $180 rn still. I’d bet Amazon is doing spring/summer price surging. Crazy to me as a US southerner when it’s about the best the worst camping season. I’ve seen news stories that some companies were talking about rolling out adjusting pricing based on past purchases and what they algorithmically determined your income level to be, if Amazon did it first that wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Edit: Whoops, just saw you said coleman listed it that price too. We wanted the one with the little porch and it was sold out for months so maybe demand? The one we got it listed the same on coleman. Even still to OP’s desires coleman does the job and is cheaper than most. I hate how expensive camping has become. We did our first back country trip last month and had to drop ~$400 between a camping stove, wagon and the camp site

That totally tracks, that’s one we wanted but it was sold out for months! We had to get one without the “awning.” It was a great option for a budget tent. I just wanted a secure place to take off my boots before getting in the tent, me and everyone else i guess. I think you got the price before the hype, lol

Hey shoutout coleman still tho bc the north face equivalent is like $600. Love coleman tents, it’s all you need if you aren’t facing extreme weather. Broke ours in last weekend back country camping and it stormed an entire day. We chilled inside all day, cozy like 40 yards from the colorado river. What more could you ask for at >$300

I have the first one the Coleman porch sky dome tent. Was given as a wedding gift and I’ve used it twice. Easy to pop up takes maybe 5 min with 2 people. Hoping to try it in the rain one day. Definitely recommend

I have the green and gray Coleman Skydome. Very nice tent with very bad design flaw. When you put the rain cover on top it blocks all of the openings leaving very little air flow. When it is hot at night it’s pretty miserable in there. The only thing you can unzip is the front door to the porch and if it rains that night congrats you are hot AND wet. I’d go another direction.

Get a big & inexpensive 6p tent like a Coleman sky dome or something for the family and then a basic 4lb’ish 2p backpacking tent like the Featherstone Granite in case some trips require backpacking. Both tents combined can come in under $300 and will last long enough to figure out what you need or don’t need. Spending big money is really only necessary if you know you’ll be backpacking over long distances or camping in extreme weather. UL and true 4 season tents are pricey and totally unnecessary for car camping.
