I was very pleased with this tent – it was water tight through considerable rain, was easily put up (videos available on YouTube, etc) – was roomy enough for 1 or 2 in my opinion, with your inner room and small porch. I am really pleased with this Coleman Tent.
When I purchased, Amazon sold this tent with a stated 169.99 RRP, at a cost of 185.99 to me. A week later during Prime Deals, it was displayed with another RRP cost and sold 40.00 cheaper! At the time of this review, the RRP is 185.00 and selling for 172.87. Apart from the trading legalities of the pricing and being Prime Customer, the Amazon customer service was unsatisfactory sadly – and I encourage all Buyers to take no notice of the RRP and ‘sale/discount offers’. Amazon aside, Coleman have provided a brilliant tent, in my opinion, that packs away well and is a strong, safe home for our little adventures!
I needed to get a larger tent as my child is now the size of an adult! We tested it this weekend and there was plenty of room for three – normally when you buy a tent, if it says three man , its really only suitable for two and so on. BUT this tent is actually big enough for three. I am experienced camper so I found this easy to put up on my own, but if you have not camped before an extra pair of hands would be good (the instructions are in the bag and you can watch a tutorial on you tube). I did not rain but the tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm which gives me confidence (my old tent had this rating and got me through some pretty awful weather). When I put it back in the bag, i left the bedroom and ground sheet attached and it all went back in the bag easily (if you are not experienced camper there are videos on you tube about how to pack away a tent – this might sound silly but worth watching).
The porch area has a ground sheet – this is great for storing gear. If it rained it would not be too bad hunkering down in there as a group of three. The porch has three doors so you not be clambering over each other to dash to the loo.
Overall this is an excellent tent at a good price that will see you through many camping trips in the glorious brittish weathe
I’ve never had a Coleman tent before. This is the exact shape and size I wanted. The porch area is large enough for me to sit in and cook in. It has 3 doors for ventilation. I can’t stand up in it, but I didn’t want that – I have a big tent already.
Having read the other reviews, I had already seen that some people have had problems with the eyelets. I had exactly the same with one of mine. They haven’t all been cut accurately and the pole wouldn’t go through. I used a knife to cut away the piece of metal that was in the way, and the eyelet broke. Very disappointing as I really like the tent. I was going to send it back, but then found out that a friend has a repair kit for eyelets. It is now fixed, and I’m hoping the rest of the eyelets survive my next camping trips.
I camped for 4 nights, and through persistent rain. There was some water on the inside of the tent, but it wasn’t dripping. I also cooked in the porch so it may actually have been condensation. With the amount of rain we had, I was very happy with how waterproof it appeared to be. I didn’t use the removable groundsheet in the porch area so I can’t comment on that. There was some wind. There aren’t as many pegging-out points as some more expensive tents so there was a bit of flapping material, but nothing that bothered me. I don’t know how it would fare in strong winds but there are a reasonable number of guy ropes.
Overall, despite the cheap eyelets, I’m happy I’ve got it fixed and that I’ll be able to continue using this tent.
Bought for a festival after a one man last year really didn’t do the job at all.
This basically did everything I needed it to. Fit in a double air bed in the main sleeping area + a fair bit of extra room. Rather simple to transport, not too heavy, and plenty of area. I will say it came inside out and I, very stupidly set it up inside out initially and then had to restart but it did the trick once I fixed that!
I had watched the video beforehand, which greatly helped. It took me a full hour to pitch the tent, but this was obviously the first time, and trying to work out the picture instructions – they weren’t particularly helpful. I’m sure that the next time of trying will be quicker. I did manage it alone, but weather conditions were near perfect, with no wind or rain. I’m not sure how I’ll manage in windy conditions.
I’ll write a full review when I’ve properly used it. I do like the space(a 3man tent for just me and my kit, is ample), the height(I don’t want to crawl into tents anymore!) and the ‘bucket’ groundsheet.
I also like the colour-coded poles.
I’m pleased with it….so far.
1) Instructions are useless and verging on non-existant which is silly as it is quite easy to put up ONCE YOU KNOW HOW. – try harder Coleman.
2) Bag is too small and tent must be shoe-horned back into it with difficulty. Obviously it is more important to tent manufacturers to quote a smaller pack-away size than it is to provide the buyer with a realistically spacious bag. PS. One of the reviews here makes the exact opposite point to this – spot the plant.
Will provide updates as time goes on ….
Promised update 14-04-17: I’ve used it about nine times now in all weathers and I still like it very much and all the pluses above still apply as does the negative of the too small bag – even after much practice it is still a mammoth effort to squeeze it back into its bag.
LOL – looks like I may be getting dislikes from people who don’t like my price reveal – tough, we’re all counting the coins so stop milking it – this is buyer power on the Web.
Key points (3 man tent):
– its easy to set up. 3 flexible colour coded poles which you could manage on your own (don’t require super human strength to bend and locate in holes). 3 sections – outer sheet with about 10 pegging points plus guy ropes, inner sleeping sections which hooks (around 10 toggles) to inside of outer sheet and also at base with elesticated hooks and a ground sheet for the porch. No problems with any of this. Erected it comfortably in 10-15 minutes. If you were in a rush you could peg the outer, forget the guys and just insert the sleeping section in about 5-10 mins.
– as with most tent sizing deduct 1 from the stated spec and you have yourself a spacious sleeping compartment. This could comfortably fit 3 but 2 feels lik the optimum (assuming you are not backpacking – it is quite bulky and weighty at 7kilos).
– weather was good when i used it so porch functioned mainly for storage – generous. Would easily form a workable space if weather poor.
– on packing found it near impossible to get everything back into the carry bag and had to leave the groundsheet out – still a squeeze for the other components.
All in all a well priced functional tent which was very easy to set up. Will update after further use.
high quality construction and materials make it very usable.
With the tent not being to big it makes it cosy and easier to warm up inside.
For its size it is quite spacious with a sleeping compartment that has plenty
of room for two. The storage area is a reasonable size though with all your
kit stowed away in there, there is just enough room to sit.
The issues I have are as follows.. Well not issues more like annoying niggles.
it is a pig to put up by yourself and it does not like uneven ground.
I erected it on my lawn which has a slight dip to one side. Because of this
It took me just over a hour to get the tension on the guides just right to enable
me to zip up the front awning. It is advisable to use a candle to wax the zips to
assist in the closing, especially the curved sections of the side panels.
The ground sheet sides of the storage/porch area are a bit sloppy and do not quite
fit. there is also a pegging point missing on the ground sheet which doesn’t help with
the fitting. My remedy was to use Velcro
It would also have been nice if Coleman had incorporated flaps to cover the windows
to stop straying eyes.
