Affordable and Durable
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was for a family camping trip and was Exactly what we needed. We are a family of 6 and had plenty of room. My favorite things about it are the room divider, all the screened in windows, and all the pockets all over to store your things in. It did take us longer to get assembled as one of our release buttons wasn't installed correctly, but after getting a screwdriver and figuring out the problem we got it fixed. The material is very durable and I have high expectations of this lasting for several years. It was very easy to disassemble and get back in the carrying bag. That only took us about 5 minutes max. We did set it up before our destination to make sure we knew what to do and that everything worked correctly. Besides the one mishap with that button, everything worked great. I have always had good experiences with all of our Coleman products.

Quick and EASY!
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Coleman 8 person tent is pretty dang AWESOME. I have owned several tents in my life time, and this tent by far is the easiest to put up. Poles are already attached, therefore saving you a lot of work. We loved the floor to ceiling windows! Great airflow in warmer weather! I was able to put this tent up completely by myself, and I’m female and 51. Absolutely the only issue I had with this tent is the first time I took it down to pack up. I wish there had been better packing instructions. As I wasn’t exactly sure how to fold for repacking. I knew how to take down, just unsure about folding so I could place back into the included tent bag. I even got on YouTube to see if I could find a video of someone taking down and packing the tent. I found several videos of the tent being put up, just no videos of this particular tent being taken down and packed up. I finally found one, of a different similar Coleman tent being taken down and it helped me figure out exactly how I should
Proceed. I actually love this tent, it’s big enough to easily have an inflatable queen size bed in it and still have plenty of additional room. (See pics). Also love the fact that I can put up and take down entirely by myself, so on the occasions that my husband can’t go with us. Once I actually figured out how to take down and fold it, it very easily went into the included tent bag, loved the wide mouth on the bag, the bag is designed to easily accommodate the tent. No issues with bag being to small and tent being hard to put into. It was very easy, and the straps on the bag cinch down for a great fit. Bag also has handles so one person can carry like a duffle bag or to smaller handles on each end, where two people can carry it. I would definitely recommend this tent!!! On another note, don’t expect tent to go up in a minute or two the first time you assemble it. The 2nd time, yes, I believe you can get it up in under 5 minutes, especially if you have a 2nd person helping you.

Big tent that takes minutes to set up
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coleman us pretty good brand , I have different product from them and very happy with quality.This tent is for 8 people , and it takes minutes to set up. When you set it up first time it took us around 10 min, it has manual how to set up , but it is pretty simple and intuitive. First time we tried on our backyard, my kids were very excited to play there. And we are happy to go for our next camping with this amazing tent .
What I like about this tent :
-it has big wide doors in case you need to put some gears inside
-lots of windows that can be open for ventilation
-the size to the ceiling is pretty high, so the tall person can stand without bumping the head
-lots of pockets and pouches to store your staff
-protecting awning in case of rain
-very convenient pre-attached poles to set up very quickly , and very easy to put it back
-it has large bag to store the tent
-there is a divider to make 2 rooms
-it has zipper cuff covers
-water resistant
The only one thing about this tent , one of our pre-attached poles I think wasn’t working correctly we couldn’t adjust it back with the size of other poles. But anyway it fitted into the bag after .
This tent might fit up to 8 people but for my opinion it would be very tight .It depends if it would be adults or kids. If the family with kids then it will be fine .
For my family of 4 , this is the perfect size , it has space for everyone and is not tight . But if more then 4 adults I think it is not very convenient. We have one queen air bed and one single size airbed that perfectly fits this tent .
Very happy with the quality, size and they way how easy can be set up without any issues.

Not waterproof
2 months ago
We bought this a year and half ago and used it once. This tent goes up easily even for 2 elderly people. However, on our second camping trip that was to be extended travel, the first night it rained a slow steady rain for several hours and the tent was not waterproof. All the sides were seeping water which then left puddles in the bottom of the tent. Everything was wet. We threw the tent away at the campsite and had to resort to hotels. If your weather is clear and sunny this is a good choice.

Nice large Coleman tent!
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this size Coleman tent for our family camping trip this summer. We fit our queen size air bed and a full mattress this tent very spacious for camping. I'd say 8 people in the tent would be to crowded. We used it for 4 people and it was very comfortable. Setup was easy but we had to reread directions. I also had to have extra help set it up. My husband was able to break it down himself. It took 2 of us to fit it in the bag.

5 minutes to set up !
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This outdoor tent is so easy to set up , less than 5 minutes! It’s a self contained pop up cabin tent by Skylodge . Says 8 person but more comfortable as 4 person with room to move around. 8 person is doable if you’re counting small children. Love the skylight feature, tent cover, carry bag and quality of the manufacturing ! We’re all ready to camp in the backyard or by the river, this is awesome!

Quick setup
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent says it sets up in 1 minute, maybe with 4 adults it could be. It is a lot faster and easier than a traditional tent though. I set it up by myself in 8 minutes and my 2 kids did it in 5, much faster than our older Coleman tent. The instructions could be a little bit more detailed, you have to make sure the poles are fully extended outward and the orange button is up. Once set up it's perfect for our family of 5. There is enough room for all of us to sleep and our duffel bags.

Great summer tent
2 months ago
This tent is super easy to put up and take down. There is plenty of room for realistically up to 4 persons. The optional room divider makes this even nicer. What sold me on this tent are the large windows and 4 way ventilation. It also has the option of having one half of the tent be a screened in porch. The only change I would make for this tent is to make the door a D style door, although the zippers work better than any tent the I have ever had. I love that you can just pull on the windows and they open. The door will do that if you first open it part way. Overall I am very pleased with this tent.

Durable just wish setup was quicker
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how far tents have come that the poles are already attached and you don't have to worry about where what poles go where. This says a 1 minute setup but unfortunately the first time took a good 30 minutes trying to figure it out and 2 people doing it but I'm sure the more times we set it up we will get faster. I do like how the instructions are attached to the bag and this way they won't get lost. The poles themselves extend and it states to slide it out 1 or 2 times and you will hear it click to make sure it's in place. Once set up it is nice and spacious and as stated can fit 2 queen air beds. Plenty of windows and I love how you can take the screen off as well to get extra air. It is also tall so I can actually stand up inside of it in the middle. Take down is simple and I love the bag where you lay it out and put the flaps over the tent to make for storing it actually practical. Overall it is a well made tent that will be used for lots of adventures this summer.

Very spacious
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There’s much more room in this tent than we expected. We put it up and placed it in our backyard for the kids to have a backyard camp out...They absolutely loved it. There was room for my six-year-old to stand up without hitting his head. We were actually able to place an air mattress inside. It was a super fun experience. We loved the ease of set up. It was literally up within minutes. There’s also a super convenient screened in portion that allows for division between the sleeping quarters. Also there is a weather tech feature / design that helps keep you dry in the event of inclement weather. This is by far one of the best tents I have ever owned. We cannot wait until our next backyard camping adventure.
