"I had it set up during a crazy storm and had no water come in it. Really nicely designed"
"I’ve bought both to festivals with multiple severe thunderstorms and was much dryer than people who brought much more expensive tents."
"It is reliable and comfortable, we have slept in it in torrential rain, high heat, ~34 degree nights with frost developing on it; all of that has left it with no damage and solid water repelling still after all of that happening on multiple trips."

"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."
"We had the one with the screen vestibule for one rainy night, and it literally FUNNELLED the rain inside our tent! That version was the worst tent EVER."

"I think the issue is at the manufacturing level. ... About half the reviews I've read are good and half say they leak or otherwise tear/rip at seams. So you are gambling with the quality."

"11 and 14 cups is not the actual capacity. You can't pack a food processor to the brim. You're really only using maybe 1/3rd of the space in there."
"Three of us camp in a 9-person instant cabin and it's barely big enough."
"six people would definitely be super tight in there. Would not recommend going over four people"

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. Check out [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeepThisInMind/comments/1mdmrgb/reddit_2_person_best_camping_tents_recommendations/) for more detailed reviews and tips. I hope it 'll help you find the perfect tent for your needs!
r/CampingGear • 2-3 person tent with tall waterproof porch recommendations? ->If you’re looking for an affordable tent, get one of the coleman dome tents. Keep in mind that a 6 person tent will be very tight for 6 full grown people. If the boys are 15+ get at least a 8 person tent.
r/camping • Affordable 6 person tent ->Several recommendations for the Coleman tents. Of the two models mentioned, Sundome and Skydome, the Skydome is the far better tent in my opinion. The Skydome has an all clip suspension, while the Sundome has partial pole sleeves. An all clip suspension tent is much easier to pitch solo than a tent that uses sleeves. Stake the corners, assemble the poles, insert poles in the corners. Unzip the door, take off your shoes, step into middle of tent, clip the top clip over both poles. Attach the rest of the clips and add the fly. The Sundome, you'll have to raise the tent body as you insert the poles in the corners. That adds weight and resistance. Lastly, the Skydome has a full coverage rainfly, while the Sundome only comes down halfway. Spend a little more and get the superior tent.
r/CampingGear • Best 4p Tent for regular camping? ->Look and see if there is an Ollie's discount warehouse near you. You can get a Coleman Skydome for half that price.
r/CampingGear • Kelty, Coleman or Big Agnes Tent? ->Well Coleman Skydome is a tried and true tent you should have no trouble with.
r/CampingGear • Kelty, Coleman or Big Agnes Tent? ->Check out the coleman site, think they still have a sale and with a 15% email coupon you can save like 30%. I'm 6'3 and found the skydome to be great.
r/CampingGear • Naturehike Village, Kota, or OneTigris Jovian ->The Coleman skydome I have the same one but dark technology which I would recommend. But the screen room was great for keeping all my stuff clean and dry, camped out in the rain for 5 days with it and my tent was the only one still bone dry on the inside when we were packing up.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I got the Coleman skydome last year (finally got over borrowing dad’s old Eddie Bauer tent 🤣) and it’s been an absolutely worthy investment. The porch has drainage holes / mesh to let water escape if needed, it makes the sleeping area of the tent much easier to keep bug and rock free, gave the dog somewhere to lounge and was over all an easy set up. Definitely recommend it!
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->My Coleman sky dome is tall enough i can stand, and I'm 6'1"
r/camping • Tent you can stand in comfortably ->I have a coleman skydome, and personally haven’t had any issues in rain. For the price it can’t be beat. If you’re going to pick something to splurge on, a comfortable sleeping pad is a must.
r/CampingGear • Kelty, Coleman or Big Agnes Tent? ->They often get flak for being on the cheaper side or being a "dad tent", but Coleman makes great, sturdy tents for the average car camper. If you're not camping in extreme weather they will suit your needs very well. I just retired my 5+ year old Coleman Sundome after 60+ nights due to a tear and will be replacing it with... a Coleman Skydome.
