Sundome 4-Person Camping Tent

I have a Coleman Sundome 4-person dome tent that I can set up and take down in about 5-7min. Is it fancy? No. Was it cheap? Yes! I bought it for $50 in 2022 and it has held up nicely over several trips.

Imo, Coleman Sundome tents are a lot more durable than Ozark Trail, plus you can usually find the 4-person version on sale for just under $100 if you keep an eye out at Walmart or Amazon.

The Sundome or Cabin series are car camping staples. Great value, easy setup, perfectly adequate for 40-75°F. The ventilation is decent and they're bomber in light rain. Downsides: heavier materials, can get condensation if you seal it up too much. Honestly for your use case, Coleman is probably the practical choice. The price difference could go toward a better sleeping pad or quilt which makes way more difference for comfort.

Honestly if your just car camping get them a Coleman sundome 4. It’s not an amazing tent but they aren’t by any means bad. Kids are rough on equipment so getting something that’s solid at a good price, but won’t break the bank if it gets destroyed is key. Plenty of space for friends if you ever take people with you or need to loan it out. If you’re doing backpacking trips then the trail made should be perfect. Keep in mind though that 3 1/2 pounds is only for minimum trail weight (rainfly, footprint, poles). The whole package is over 5 pounds.

The Coleman sundome is a 4-person tent, so it fits 2 people comfortably. It runs about 70$ and sets up quickly and easily. (We carry with us in case we arrive at our site and need a fast setup because of the weather) It stands 59 inches center height, so depending on how tall you are, you may have to bend over a little, but at least you can stand. I'm not sure how many 2-person tents are available that you can stand in.

We got the coleman sundome on rollback for $70ish Super easy setup and fast.

We've been seeing it everywhere in national parks. Great little tent value for the cost.

They hold up well in my experience. I just bought the regular sundome 4p for 79 which was marked down from around 100. I was replacing one from 2018 which finally met its end when we got hit with a storm, winds over the 35mph for which it's rated. It's a no-brainer for that price.

Honestly for the durability and price I love my old Coleman sundomes, I have a 2 man and a 4 and they haven’t let me down in over a decade of use.

As a tall wide guy, those cot tents don't fit me, too skinny and not long enough. My go-to is a 4 or 6 person Coleman sundome with a XXL folding cot w a thermarest on top of it inside. (My 4person ripped and was replaced by a 6person, the 6ft internal height is amazing)
