Core Equipment - 6-person Lighted Instant Cabin Tent

I bought a 6 man tent from Costco 4 years ago for $60. There are only 3 of us but it’s nice and spacious. They currently have the newer model but the price has gone up to $100. We camp 3-4 times a year and it’s just starting to get little holes. I have all my backpacking gear waiting for my son to get older so we can do the real deal but for now, it works and it’s so feasible. 10/10 highly recommend.

CORE IS great and they have a 6, 9 or 10 person option [CORE](https://campingzest.com/are-6-person-cabin-tents-good-for-family-camping-a-complete-guide/)

Go for the Core tent if you're a stand up in the tent & move around type. You'll like it. We got our big one pretty muddy and it was a heavy pain to clean. Hubby can stand & likes to bring a chair in. I like a smaller dome tent. I love my Kelty Late Start. The pole pockets and clips are great. I will never purchase another tent with sleeves for the poles to slide through (looking at you Coleman). Do you have any plans to backpack with the Scout Troop? Or are you exclusively car camping? Many scout camps require you to walk in your gear from a common parking area. If that's the case, having a wagon is key if you want to keep your large tent.

Core 6p instant is a game changer. 30 second 1 person.

Core is my go-to brand. I have that exact one, and it's been through a lot. We added the 6, 9, and 10 person instant tents. We got slammed by big big storms with high straightwinds while at festivals, and afterward, the core tents are always still standing in the tent graveyards.

CORE is way above Ozark Trail. They just happen to have models sold at Costco. My issue is it isn’t a tub bottom.

I had the Core 6 person for several years. It's a great starter tent for my two little kids and I, but for four people, especially two that are still growing, go for the 10 person. I guess you can get all four into the six person, but there won't be room for much else and you'll be tripping over each other if someone needs to go pee in the middle of the night or whatever. If the 10 person has a room divider, that's especially nice since they can have their own little area.

I use a 6 person for just me and my dog

I use a 6 person for just me and my queen sized air mattress :)

I’ve had the 6 person just for my 2 large dogs and myself. Definitely go with the 10 person.

I’ve had Core instant tents and never had an issue. Easily over 100 nights before any leaking, and I wasn’t taking the best care of it so likely could have lasted longer.

Coleman or core. I’ve used both regularly and in some bad weather without problems. I like core instant tents for the quick setup and breakdown. Coleman Skydome are also great for a mix of dome and cabin style. Will likely want a 8 person or more for the space and headroom.
