Core Equipment - 6-person Lighted Instant Cabin Tent

The CORE 6p instant cabin tent is GREAT.

I'm a huge proponent of the CORE instant cabin tent, they come in 4p, 6p, and 10p. Im 5'9ft and my bf is 6ft, we can stand up & walk around comfortably. I have the 6p core tent, in my last camping trip it was the only tent out of 3 to survive the storms. We opted for the 6person bc we typically end up housing our friends on our trips because they dont camp enough to buy decent gear.

From what I've seen online comparing the two brands, they're very similar, if not identical in design. To me, a 4-year-old tent is worth upgrading, just for peace of mind. I don't have much personal experience with Coleman tents, but the 6p Coleman is only about $20-$30 less than the 6p Core depending on where you buy them from. all things considered its totally worth the upgrade on a 4yr old tent.

I've had two seasons with the Core-4 Straight Wall Cabin tent and it's held up well on the PNW coast \[rain/wind\]. It is not as ruggedly built as my Timberline-2 by Eureka, but for $129 it's a good deal. I'd definitely recommend you get the Core-6 model. It's on sale for $159, but you'll also need a tarp-groundsheet. I also use a cheap \[$35\] tent fly so I can erect a lounging-cooking space out of the rain. \*These Core tents allow standing room. I still use my Timberlane in harsh weather, but it's damn nice to be able to stand inside the tent.

We have 2 core tents. Love them. Especially now that they offer full rain fly and footprints. And the dimensions of the 6 man tent really make it stand out - the rectangle shape (as opposed to square like Coleman’s) is fantastic.

I recently got a CORE 6 person tent and it’s perfect. I’m 5’7 and have a bout 6-8 extra in of clearance when standing up.

Love the Core Instant Cabin. Goes up super fast and is cheap at Costco

Get an instant cabin tent for the adults (5 minute setup) and possibly smaller tents for the kids. Your mom will likely also need a cot or tall air mattress, getting up off the floor or even sleeping on a hard floor can be too much as you get older. Core, Coleman, and Walmart all make inexpensive instant tents. Our core tent has lasted for 3 years of monthly camping trips. It's not great at heavy rain, but the newer models are supposed to be better.

We just picked up the core instatent and love it. Takes about 90 secs to set up, plenty of room. It’s not a backpacking tent but we’re really happy with it!

Look at Core Cabin tents. I think Costco sells them. Easy to set up for first timers and you can stand in them. Get a 6 or 8 person. Keep in mind that the number is the number of average sized sleeping bags it will hold crammed next to each other.
