Coleman  Sundome 4-Person Dark Room Tent

Pros: lightweight, easy setup, rain-tolerant, small footprint(not the bear's) Cons: zipper gets caught on rain guard, fragile poles, material on rainfly rips easily

Bought it a local store , set it up at home to make sure I could set it up alone and that all the parts were not defective .. low and behold it took me only 7 mins to set up .. all the parts were there and everything was easy as can be expected. At first it was a little wonky setting up the two poles across it is not necessarily but very helpful to have a second person hold up the two poles in the center and making sure the poles are even across .. the poles sit away from the tent not flush . Love the zip up windows .. and the rain fly is a slight odd I recommend putting the pole in first then attaching it .. there were not tears or rips and the Quality the stitches very good . The seams could probably use a seam goo but if it’s not raining then it shouldn’t be a problem . It’s bigger than I expected and I can easily fit myself and two tall teen boys inside . The take down and fold up was not too hard and all fit back in the bag if your careful and fold nicely . I’ll do another review after the 4th of July camping trip and update you all .

We bought the four person dark room tent. To begin, one of the poles was starting to crack at the end straight out of the box. Then, once the poles were inserted into the sleeve and bent to set up the tent one side was too long and wouldn't fit. We even switched the poles and still ended up with the same issue. Not sure if it is the poles or the tent that is not correct. We were at our camp location for a first cub scout camp out and could not get it replaced. Four seasoned camping adults could not fix the issue. After one nights use the pole that started with a small split is now split to the middle. This tent is going back and we will try something different.

We purchased this tent around 7 years ago and we still love it! It is light weight and easy to assemble. We have used it in the BWCA, Superior National Forrest, and beach camping. She has survived brutal storms and is still waterproof. I am a rise with the sun kind of person so I really appreciate the darkness feature. It works perfect for the two of us and the dogs. We also used it next to our camper when we have guests.

I used this tent all summer including a 30 day road trip to the arctic circle where the sun never sets. It was easy to put up, did well in thunderstorms and wind. It will hold a queen size mattress, but that is the entire interior of the tent. There was plenty of room for me and my giant dog. I took it down about every 2 days and moved to my next location, and it held up well. I purchased longer tent pegs and the little ones included in the package did work well for the ground type there. The door zipper gets caught if you aren't careful, but overall I was very happy with it. One of the tent poles broke in a windstorm last week. I hope to find a replacement so I can continue to use the tent.

Good Value. Have used it so far for 3 Camp outs 2 -- 2 night and 1 6 night. Withstood very bad rain storm, but Power Cord Port leaked --zipped up, so must watch after storm... keep bedding away from that corner. Dark room is nice and ventilation is ample --have had no morning dew inside tent so far. Quick setup one person. Buy a heavy duty tarp for bottom if placing Cots in it. Will it last many years, we shall see. Very ample space for 2 people (Queen mattress) + Storage. Folds nicely into small footprint. Good car camping tent...not suitable for back packing. It is a 3 season tent only.

I have always used Coleman tents, and this one did not disappoint! Perfect for a girls weekend camping trip. We had plenty of space for us to sleep and have additional room for some belongings. We had no issues with the tent being wet or dewy in the morning, and felt warm and cozy all night.

as soon as i got it and put it together i doused it with the water hose for 15 minutes.....as i expected from a Coleman.....Not 1 Leak....am very satisfied with the tent, i packed it up and put it away until ill need it for my next excursion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] W e camp often and this is an easy set-up and take down. Holds a queen-sized air mattress with floor space left. Love the "dark room " feature. Keeps sun out in the morning,also keeps cool during the day.

My husband bought this for us when we went camping, it was super easy to set up and was very sturdy and good quality. The name is very true it’s dark in the tent and blocks the sun out so we slept well.
