Coleman Skydome Camping Tent with Screen Room, Weatherproof 4/6/8 Person Tent with Screened-in Porch, Includes Rainfly, Carry Bag, Storage Pockets, and Sets Up in 5 Minutes

We are 2 people with a dog. This tent is awesome. The little entry area is PERFECT for us in the PNW with the rain here. We can keep bags, kick off the boots and dry the pup before she gets into the sleeping area in that little entrance.It rained hard and was VERY Windy the first night we used it. Nothing “leaked”, the bottom stayed dray….but the rain tarp doesn’t come all The way to the bottom, and some small amounts of water splashed onto the screen from the wind blowing the tent hard, and splashed in… If you rain camp, you know it’s hard to stay dray even with great equipment. (We weren’t soaked, mostly residual moisture). We were happy with the performance, with no wind this thing would be super dry inside.Overall this tent performed well for the nasty weather we had and setup easy. Great car camping tent. I would recommend it.

Set up was super easy and fast with just one person. Light weight and I had no problem moving it setup a few feet to a better option in the campsite. The rain flap it comes with is nice. However it seriously impacts airflow when it is on and on a sunny day the inside heats up fast. Love the entry area separate from main living space. Added room for storage and messy gear keeps the sleeping/ living space clean. Zipper on front door seems to catch up on the flap zipper closure but it never bound up making the zipper lock or jump the track. Spent over 2 months continuous use while off grid and the tent performance was flawless. Able to get a queen mattress with plenty of space around the mattress for backpac, storage cubes, bow and arrows, and a LOT MORE. comfortable with two adults.

So…it’s not bad, but it’s not good either. They call it a four person tent, but it was tight, with my son and his two kids. And, you are not going to stand up in this four person tent. Trying to get dressed in the morning is not that fun laying down. It did rain on our last camping trip, and there were no leaks. However, it wasn’t a heavy rain, and there was no wind…so it’s hard to say what it would be like under more harsh conditions. The screened-in porch is more like a vestibule, in size, but it is nice to have the zip up windows, rather than the open screen windows, offered on other Coleman options.This would be a good starter tent for one adult and two kids, or two adults…or if you’re just solo car camping.My suggestion is, save up a little more money and purchase a more premium four person tent with a higher peak height. Being able to stand up in your tent will make your experience more enjoyable. You could also look into the larger version of this tent, but Coleman isn’t the same brand that it used to be…make sure to do your research before you purchase.

We’ve taken this out camping 3 times now, it’s definitely not lite, however we love the room and little porch for when bugs/weather is bad. Fairly easy to set up and tare down once you get the hang of it, also rolls up pretty nice around the poles. I would buy again.

This is a nice tent if you are doing basic camping. The poles on mine broke on the first campout, but it was not pitched on flat terrain. I give it 4 stars because Coleman was awesome when it came to refunding my $. It was still under warranty and I was not confident that fiberglass poles would start up to the type of camping we do.

This is the perfect camping tent for warm to moderate cold. The extra space is perfect for the dog or leaving the shoes outside. Very easy to set up. I’ve use it during rainy nights and there was no water inside the tent the next morning.

I recently tried car camping, two weeks sleeping in a Subaru Forester convinced me I would be happier in more spacious accommodations. I had admired the tent set ups of some of my neighbors, all that space, standing headroom, indoor potty! My 2 person tent suddenly lost its charm, it made a nice little camping shed/pantry, but as an alternate living space…I could do better.I liked the looks of this tent, the Coleman reputation, the decadence of having all this just for me! I had a friend help me set it up to do a quality check, took us about 15 minutes, there are a few technique issues to figure out. I feel confident I can set this up myself, going to use a clamp or strap as a stand in for a helper, there is a ‘hold that’ spot where a third hand was a big help.Love the built in poles, the color coded fasteners for the rain fly, the expandable storage bag, and that roomy interior! It was very easy to fold back up and rebag, just pay attention when you unfold it, reverse the process. Now all I need is a camping trip to give it a good and proper try out. Come on springtime!!

I basically bought a brand new item I'll have to make repairs on before I ever used it. Set up is easy. It rained briefly and kept us dry. Good size for 2-3 people and a dog. Really like the screened in vestibule idea. Terrible quality control. Loose threads everywhere and a gaping hole near the main door zipper between the vestibule and main tent. Unacceptable from Coleman. I know if I return it I'll get push back because I had to use it. It came barely in time for my trip so I didn't get a chance to set it up prior to leaving or I would have never used it. People depend on these types of products to keep them dry and safe. I really have no tolerance for low QC when it comes to these types of goods. It's not an item where only esthetics count, it's a tool for survival in some cases.
