Coleman - Weathermaster (2000013062)

Used our Coleman weathermaster 10 person for a few years now. Lots of space, handles wind/water flawlessly, and it’s got a nifty door that makes coming and going easy. Zero complaints.

Whatever one you get make sure it has a rigid frame door. Game changer, especially in buggy camping areas. Coleman WeatherMaster 10-Person Family Tent Edit: apparently my link was shortened and I don’t know the difference. Removed link added name.

Per recommendations on this subreddit, I’ve been looking into CORE instant tents. For your needs, you might consider the 9 person one. My family of five currently uses a 10-person Coleman weathermaster tent that is very sturdy and waterproof, but takes two people and too long to set up. I have an 8yo and 5yo twins, so we are moving towards a two-tent set up rather than all sleeping in one. I’m leaning towards the CORE 6 person instant tent for ease of set up, and then we will probably get a second one or a 4 person as the second tent. BUT the giant ten person tent fit a queen size mattress, double mattress and two pack n plays, which was clutch when our kids were little and needed that. We then put my older daughter and girl twin together on the double and added a twin size pad for my boy twin. Also big enough to hang out in when the weather isn’t top notch. So I definitely recommend a really big tent when the kids are young lol.

I have the Coleman weather master 10. It’s difficult to set up alone but absolutely easy with an extra set of hands. It must be staked down prior to trying to put in the support poles. It’s heavy and definitely meant for car camping. It’s comfortable roomy and probably cheaper priced than the other brands you have listed. I purchased mine new but right after seen one on marketplace “used once” for $80. I camp 5-10 times a year in various conditions and Coleman tents really do hold up exceptional for the price. I’m also 6’ 3” and can easily stand in the tent. It also fits 2 queen beds which house my wife, daughter, dog and I and plenty of floor space between us for other gear. I’ve have nicer brand tents for backpacking and you can tell they are made with higher quality materials and have nicer features, than lower models. I imagine you get better quality with the better names but for car camping the Coleman has you covered.

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!

I rock a Coleman WeatherMaster tent. Lists as a 6-person but also has a screened in porch (lol). It’s huge, can easily stand up inside. Comfortably fits a large inflatable queen air mattress for the wife & I, pack’n’play for our 1 1/2 year old daughter and our 4 year old son sleeps on a backpacking air pad. We stagger our bedtimes to put the youngest down first, keeping my 4 year old up a little later and then he’ll go to bed once she’s passed out. We’ll usually stay up for another hour or two before going to bed ourselves. I used to turn my nose up at Coleman tents but this one was $300 a few years ago and it’s been great for our family.

I don’t have this specific tent but a similar 10 person Coleman and it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great. Our setup was done with 1 person and it went up in about 15 mins.

Coleman 10 person lighted. Have to get it when Costco stocks it, but it’s a solid tent

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.

A regular Coleman dome (like a sun dome or whatever), buy a couple yards of ripstop nylon and a tube of E6000, and cover up that mesh. Worked great for me when traveling light and on a tight budget.
