Coleman - Skylodge 4-Person Instant Camping Tent

I also have the 4-person variant of that same tent that I use on solo trips that is pretty solid as well. That one was fine in a thunderstorm with high winds. It's also very easy to set up.

I have the Coleman instant cabin for car camping, it’s super heavy but it has lasted many years of hard use through rain, snow, hail, and 115F desert trips. It’s way too heavy for anything besides car camping, but it sets up in about 2 minutes max, and has been really sturdy. The 4 person model fits a queen sized mattress in it.

I'm obsessed with mine and have recommended them to friends for years. Excellent for car camping, easy to set up with one person, and super easy to put away. Mine has internal lights that easily connect to any power bank with a light switch right inside the door.

I have the model with the mesh top and rain fly. For car camping it's awesome. I've used mine dozens of times. Minutes to setup/breakdown solo. Been through some decent thunderstorms too. My model has a tub floor, which that one looks to have too. For pack-in or hiking its FAR too heavy. I'll bring a more traditional style if I'm doing trails with my gear. But tossing it out of the trunk is perfectl. I got mine on sale thinking it would last a few trips, exceeded my expectations and I've gotten multiple seasons out of it.

I own one. I bought it new and took it camping, but after four hours, I could NOT get the tent up. I had to drive home, over an hour plus, and grab another tent. When I took it home, my whole family was over for a BBQ and we decided to see what "I had done wrong". (That was said over and over.) We learned that the top spoke piece in the center was flawed and the tent could not be set up! My BIL spent a good hour "operating" on it, and fixed it. We have used it in the yard several times, but I have yet to again solo with it, given I camp a good drive away now. I will try it again this summer.

I used to have one. As a tent it worked fine, it got a little lopsided after a few years. It had the rain fly and it never leaked. It does set up remarkably fast. My main gripe was it doesn't pack down well. It gets, crumpled and rolled and fits in a large bag. It was always a pain to pack because how large the bag is. If you're car camping and have a lot of extra space it should be fine.

I’ve had this tent since 2018 and used it probably 70-90 times. It’s been great. Only reason I’ve more recently stopped using it is we got the larger version of the same tent that’s been just as good. I’m sure there’s higher quality brands that people will recommend, but it’s been great overall.

I had one and it had no rain fly, internal or not. Needless to say one sudden rain storm on a sunny day while we were out hiking and we came back to the tent with about 3 inches of water inside. Without a rain fly it's more a screened gazebo than a real tent. I wouldn't recommend it, they're super heavy, and they are not really that "instant" unless you have 4 people to help

I have the 4 man. I had to buy the rain-fly separately. Its a good tent for warmer weather. Its a bit heavy.

You dont assemble the poles on mine.

As a single adult scout leader I run a 4 person instant Coleman tent. I sleep on my own 95% of the time. In a pinch I could provide room for another leader. I have a 6-person but it’s way too big for me by myself. Before the Coleman I had a 4 person malamoo mega that I really liked.
