[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent was provided to me for my honest review. I’ve been waiting for the warmest and clearest day! It’s so big and fairly easy to put up once you get the hang of it. There’s so much room I can stand up inside (see pic)! I can’t wait to take this out in the spring and summer. The lights are an awesome touch. I look forward to using this and now have more reason to make camping plans. You could definitely fit a lot of people inside of you needed to. There is also a rain cover to protect you from the elements. I am grateful for this product. I will look at this brand for more camping gear now!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I underestimated just how big an 8 person tent was going to be, I set it up in my front yard just to test it out prior to planning any trips and it was almost too big to do so. The rain guard gets put on last, or if you’re like me and want to use the tent to watch the night sky you don’t have to put it on, the top of the tent itself is a nice mesh fabric. It comes with two lights that are powered by normal batteries. The only issues I had was the zipper is a bit tough around certain seams, and the rain guard gave me a hard time trying to put on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never did I imagine I would be testing a tent in the snow, but these are the things we do for love. Now that I’m inside and thawed off, I have some thoughts on the SkyDome model tent from Coleman. The good: This is the tent that you want if your goal for camping is to gaze up at the night sky, for stargazing the view is unparalleled when the cover is removed from the tent, you get a true panoramic view and feel immersed in nature. Set up is quick and simple, by making the poles clip on it really streamlined the set up process we all dread. The material the tent is made from is lightweight yet feels durable, and it dried off quickly—definitely a plus, no one enjoys a wet tent. Lastly, the carrying case is so handy! It makes it so easy to pack up and go whenever you’re ready for an adventure. The bad: My husband and I have different opinions on this first point, the poles are connected to the base of the tent. I feel like this is more cumbersome than having detached poles (they can get tangled) but my husband sees the benefit of having them attached because it means never having a lost pole. The tent would not reasonably fit 8 people, it’s perfect for our family of 4, but with 8 people you would be getting your cuddle on, whether you want to or not. Lastly, when setting up the tent one of the pieces attaching the pole to the base of the tent came unsewn. I’m sure it was just a small manufacturing defect & will be easy to sew—but if we were truly camping (rather than testing it out at our local park) this would have resulted in us being without a functional tent if we hadn’t packed a sewing kit. Overall, this tent is a good buy but best for small/average families rather than larger groups of more than 4. If you really want to feel like you’re in nature & see the night sky—which let’s just be honest, is one of the best parts—you’ll love it. We’ll be enjoying this for years, and I couldn’t be more excited for warm weather to get here!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great huge tent for an affordable price. I haven’t put it fully together yet as it’s super cold in my area right now so I’ll end up using it more towards march on my next camping trip. But I did however open it and start to put together & see how durable it is & im so impressed. Compared to the cheaper brands you’re really getting what you pay for. I tested waterproof and it works great as well. Can’t wait to use this !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tent! It’s perfect for the family. 8 person tent, easy 5 minute assembly, LED lights, skylights, it’s perfect! What doesn’t this tent have. Excited for summers now and family fun!
My netting already came damaged other than that its a good tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really happy to be sent this from Influenster. I wasn’t able to pitch it up entirely by myself but I did inspect all of the perks. The poles are pre attached to the sides of the tent so that whenever it is time to set it up, you have less work to do. I spread it out and overall it’s larger than my Chevrolet car so it decently can fit upwards of eight people. There are LED lights separate they are not inside of the tent but rather something you pass through parts on the roof once it is pitched so you don’t have to worry about breaking the lights when packing the tent back up. It also comes with a rain guard that is thick. Overall there are. A lot of perks to this model and is a huge upgrade from my last tent and I can’t wait for raining season to be over so I can take it out for a real test in the woods!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I tent camp in a small two person tent and we’re so excited to have received this tent for our outdoor hobby’s. It is so amazing! It was so simple to put up and took all of five minutes! The interior is so room and comfortable, the lighting is such an awesome addition! We like to keep things simple but this has extra amenities all on one. The extra material on the bottom for weather proofing is so comforting to know when grounds are more saturated than normal. It’s a little heavier than we’re used to in its carrying bag but a small price to pay for making the outdoors more comfortable to be in.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this tent, I have a large family and this is great for that, it fits up to 8 people in it with air mattresses and sleeping bags, extremely spacious, I love the led lights at night it looks like stars, it comes with a rain protection to put on top of the tent. I will be continuing to use this tent I would highly recommend. It was snowing outside so I set it up in my apartment lol
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the Coleman Skydome Tent as a sample, and it's a delightful surprise. Setup is a breeze with color-coded poles and clear instructions. Despite its compact size, the near-vertical walls make the interior surprisingly spacious, fitting both me and gear comfortably. While I haven't tested it in heavy rain, the WeatherTec system suggests excellent water resistance. Ventilation is well-thought-out with ample windows and vents, promising a fresh interior. The construction feels durable, with smooth zippers and quality materials. Even as a sample, it instills confidence in its reliability. Looking forward to taking it on future camping adventures. A stellar option for those seeking comfort and ease in a tent.
