Coleman - Weathermaster 8XL BlackOut Air Tent

Family of 3 and we won tickets to the Kerrville Folkmusic Festival. We had a Big Agnes Copper Spur and a Coleman 4 person dome, but we wanted to be able to stand and get dressed, as well as have room for an air mattress and a cot, though we ditched the air mattress for 2 more cots, so we got a Coleman Evanston 6. Since then we bought a Coleman Weathermaster 8 as it has two rooms, but honestly it’s just about the perfect size to have plenty of room to even bring in the folding chairs if we need, which then makes it a little crowded. For the two of you I’d think a 6 person should be just enough to stand as long as nobody’s over maybe 6’ or so. If it’s raining or too windy and cold you should be able to squeeze in a couple of chairs and be happier. The Evanston has a screened porch which has been handy a few times.

I agree that the Coleman is a great value. I have a 8p one and use it for troop outings. When it’s just my son and I, I opt for my smaller 4p one as it is easier to set up and tear down.

We have a Coleman 8 person for the two of us and it’s awesome. It’s no more hassle and way more comfortable than our little one.

I found a Coleman 8 person tent for $100 new for car camping. It is huge. Queen sized air mattress fits with room to walk around. Of course I have to have two bags to haul it around but I’m just dropping it on the ground maybe 20’ from the car. The screened porch is nice but if you put your cooler out there some raccoons may want to have a look.

For car camping we use a Coleman 8 person tent. Being able to stand upright in the center is amazing, and having one side for chairs if it's raining is a bonus.
