Skydome™ Camping Tent XL

3. I do scouts camping  Coleman 4p sundome that I usually use. I think it meets your requirements but I don't think is 68" tall Old REI 4 person whose name eludes me that I usually give my 13 year old  Coleman 8 person with fully enclosed vestibule that I rarely use but am taking to summer camp this year. It's hard to set up with one person (I'm a bit short to reach easily to do the rain fly) but if I were taller it'd probably be doable

We are a family of 5 plus our two Labradors we love our 8 person Coleman Skydome tent. We have lots of sleeping space, plenty of headroom. And the dogs can sleep with us or sleep outside in the screened porch as it’s part of the tent. Plus you can not beet the rain fly design goes all they way to the ground for better weather protection. We have camped in 105 degree weather and 38 degree weather the tent keep’s amazing us every time we use it. https://preview.redd.it/jzo1cuaj1v7g1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb0a2d7760b7a76b0d0684185d5cd38f3ce4eec4 I highly recommend this tent for 5 people and two dogs plus everyone’s gear. Final not for warmer weather they offer a dark room version. Happy Camping🌲🌲🔥⛺️🌲🌲

Nothing wrong with Coleman tent’s weather you are a beginner or advanced camper. For most car camping this tent will work out just fine. Now if you plan on camping the full 3 seasons you might want to look at a tent that has a better rain fly. Here’s the Coleman https://preview.redd.it/bi3t2z7k7raf1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b96392dbf8f1f79109c00f942f3984d1629a202 Skydome tent I have been using since it’s release. They offer 4/6/8 people option. I use the 6 person one so that I have plenty of room inside. My girlfriend and I sleep on Cots with a small table and two chairs inside the tent. This allows us plenty of space when bad weather hits. It has a full rain fly and a screen room attached which gives you the ability to keep your gear stored safe and not get rained on. Right now it’s on sale at Amazon. Hope this helps you out. Happy Camping 🌳🌳⛺️🔥🌳🌳

I stayed in a 8 person Skydome last week in absolutely torrential rain. We stayed dry, other than were the tent fabric "cupped" as a result of not being pulled taut.

Depends on the car you have. We have self inflating mattress from decathlon and a coleman 8p skydome. Everything else like the tarps, blankets, kitchen, cooler, water, firewood, misc stuff, etc all fit just enough in the car. If i change anything i would change my tent into a 8P darkroom instant/fast pitch tent from coleman. The darkroom tent should keep thing dark specially with the early sunrise here in canada. Also the fast pitch tent, i would spend less time installing the tent. The mattress have made a huge change, and i need to take better sleeping bags, but again not sure if all would fit in my car. To add.. The mattresses that i have are double and they fit in the 8p tent. So, if you are planning to get double mattress or even queen, you should go with a 8p tent. If your sleeping system is different, then yea, 6p may work.

I have a variety of tents based in the situation I am camping in. Backpacking -REI half dome 2SL Car camping short trip - Ozark trail 6 person instant tent (used to have a core instant tent that was better quality. Started leaking on a trip after around 100 nights of use and did a quick replace at Walmart due to continued rain in the forecast. This is also the one I lend out to friends when needed.) Car camping longer trip - Coleman 8person skydome Car camping but walk in site of 1 mile or less Core 6 person dome tent with vestibule.

If you are car camping, go big on the tent. The space is great. I use a 6-8 person tent for myself and two dogs. I can fit a queen sized cot, side table, and double camp chair in the tent with plenty of space left over. Really nice when there is bad weather. Plus being able to stand up and move around in a tent is great. The exped megamat is one of the most comfortable sleeping pads you can get. I recommend putting it on a cot to get yourself further off the ground. I don’t bother with an electric cooler and just have a good Rotomolded cooler from Ozark trail. Can hold ice for a 5 day trip when packed correctly. For cooking I bring a Coleman stove and a tripod so I can good over the fire or on the stove depending on what I’m making. Between that and a cast iron pan and a pot I can make just about anything. I just bring my pillow from home. I’m by my car so space isn’t an issue. Especially since I switched to a minivan this year. Even with two large dogs along I have a ton of space to pack. I used to have a small sedan and packing was a bit more interesting in that. A roof bag came in handy. For water I bring a 7 gallon igloo container that I put under the table. I have a USB powered faucet and a hose runs down to the container. Works out great and so much easier to use. I get a lot of heat on sale, second hand, and from Sierra. My tents are Coleman and Ozark trail. The Ozark trail one is a 6 person instant tent that I bring if it’s a quicker trip and good weather. The Coleman is an 8 person but not instant. Has better weather resistance though so if rain is in the forecast I bring that one.

I have a Coleman Skydome 8 person tent, and it’s been mostly just me in it. But I can set it up myself, and stand up in it. My 16yo uses the Outbound 3 person, and I honestly don’t know how he does it. He’s 6’ tall. His cot barely fits(and already has to be on a diagonal) https://preview.redd.it/kw2nil5unsnf1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aef30437b3dc69fc71297e2dcbc526427a4dcb70

My 8 man Skydome has kept me dry through multiple severe thunderstorms without additional waterproofing or even being guyed out (it’s my music festival tent.) Just set it up in the backyard and see how it does through a rainstorm.

I didn’t bother to buy it after testing the instant tent in the rain. But my Sundome and Skydome are great in bad weather

Go with a darkroom Coleman Sundome or Skydome

Coleman Sundome and Skydome are cheap, easy to set up, and sufficient for all of my car camping needs

I would go with Coleman over CORE. The Sundome and Skydome are both pretty easy set up. I’d recommend a darkroom tent also.

Yes, a Coleman darkroom Sundome or Skydome will be very reliable
