Coleman Sundome Camping Tent, 2/3/4/6 Person Dome Tent with Snag-Free Poles for Easy Setup in Under 10 Mins, Included Rainfly Blocks Wind & Rain, Tent for Camping, Festivals, Backyard, Sleepovers

Great tent. Took on test run in 2023 and then took on 2 week camping trip in 2024. Easy setup and take down. Pockets on sides were nice to keep stuff organized. Easily fit Acothot double mattress with room on sides to put shoes and clothes. Over the 2 week trip we stayed at 6 different locations and was quick to setup and go exploring.

The media could not be loaded. This Coleman 3 person tent easily fits 2 people and a kid or a dog or some luggage. It takes 15 minutes to set up and 10 to take down. It folds nicely and fits back into the bag.Based on forum advice I got some nail type tent pegs that were easy to drive into the ground and a rubber mallet. So I have not used the ones that come with the tent, so I had a very easy time setting it up. The poles were already connected by a string and I had to thread them through and clip them on with the attached clips. I also got a tarp for the bottom of the tent based on advice on some reviews posted here, but as I learned it's better to leave the tarp off in rainy weather as water can pool on it and make the tent wet. It would be better to get a tent footprint to put under it. The rain fly is easy to install too and the included cords helps make sure the rain fly is stretched out away from the vents. I had carried a seam sealer but reviews advised not to use it as the tent remains dry.This tent is very well ventilated so it gets cold and airy in the tent in the night even if the temperatures are in 50s. Someone suggested putting a blanket on top of the tent to cover the vents. I did carry a transparent shower curtain for that purpose, but haven't used it so far. This is a great tent for warmer summer evenings and temperatures 55 plus. We've used it in 35 plus temperatures but it's really, really cold and if I did not have an ultra warm 20+ degree sleeping bag I would have frozen. I also carry an extra blanket to put on top of the sleeping bag.The 4 person tent is 9ft by 7ft and it fitted an Intex Queen Mattress and there is a little room on all sides of the tent after fitting in the mattress. If you push it to one side then there is place for all the bags, and my dog. In comparison this 3 person tent is 7ft X 7 ft and it just fits a queen mattress and no more. It's just enough for 2 adults. In fact, if you inflate the mattress with a car pump it's a bit tough to get it into the tent fully inflated. You may need to almost inflate and finish off once it's inside the tent, but for that you either need to have a separate hand pump or be able to bring the car really close. Of course, you can also use an air pad instead of an air mattress! It's a compact tent so it's easier to warm it up, it's much tougher to stand inside a 3 person tent vs. a 4 person tent.The white walls of the tent reflect light well and there are 2 pockets on the side where you can put a flashlight facing upward to illuminate the whole tent. Another feature I like is was that the bottom of the tent is bathtub style and comes up all around about 3-4 inches which helps keep dirt and water out. It's also advisable to pitch the tent on higher ground slightly sloping downwards so that the water flows downward away from you.The pull down takes very little time and I figured out finally how to roll it back tightly so it fits back inside the bag with all accessories. You just need to make sure you have the door and window unzipped so you can let all the air out and then it rolls up tight.On a recent trip to Crater Lake, OR we took off the rain fly as there was no chance of rain and were able to gaze at the Milky Way, and saw many shooting stars through the rain fly. It was magical. I always think I sleep better in this tent than I do in my own bed. I do carry ear-plugs though as some campers can be late sleepers or some camp sites can have a lot of highway noise.This tent is still going strong after about 10 camping trips or more. I took a time lapse video of my daughter putting up the 4 person tent. With a little help, it's even easier to put up, but she wanted to demonstrate putting it up with no help. It took her about 15 minutes, if there is someone to hold and align the poles it takes less time. The 3 person tent is even easier to put up as the poles are shorter.

I grew up camping so I have some experience with outdoor gear. Is this the best tent ever? Of course not, look at the price. But it is a great starter tent for summer weather. I got drizzled on for a while and didn't experience condensation getting all over my stuff inside. The material is passable, the floor of the tent has a sufficient rise to guard against leaking in, and I didn't bust any zippers. Side note on the zippers though; they're about as sturdy as you'd expect them to be for the price so just be gentle with them and be aware that you're not catching fabric between its teeth as you go. I would say it is possible to bust a zipper but if you're careful, you'll likely get mileage out of this tent. As far as size, I bought one of those blue standard queen blow up air mattresses and it was a sure struggle getting it through the door but I managed to do so by sort of squeezing it in half in which case by the time it was in it was upside down and nothing could be done about that. A queen mattress length is too long to fit from front door to back window but it did tightly fit sideways and I had enough room at the front door for my medium size suitcase and all my other camp junk. The rain guard is what it is, serves its purpose but I wouldn't suggest counting on the material to hold up in a rainy season when you're shoveling trenches around your tent to guide rushing water away. Make no mistake this is a starter tent for summertime use, not for professional woodsmen that get snobby about their materials (if you're snobby about zippers maybe opt elsewhere). If you're like me and shopping all at once for everything you'd need, it can get pricey quick so maybe work with this for now and upgrade your starter items over the years. It has a hook to hang your light (stick with something fairly light in weight for that), a screened zip window in the back and a zipper door that can also serve as a window when shut. Works for me. But I'm not a quality snob. I give it 5 stars not for being the best tent ever but for serving it's purpose & offering what you'd expect at a low price.
