This review has been written after a week of camping in Cornwall. Weather in that week has been as follows; extreme heat, extreme windy conditions, extreme rain and all of the above at once...I know nothing about the water proofing levels. So after reading people's feedback saying it was 2000 whatever instead of 3000 as other tents, I bought a most seller water proofing spray on amazon and sprayed its flysheet after erecting it to test it. It was a 10 mins job. So my review does not reflect the original water proofing of this tent.It stood up well in crazy wind where you'd doubt you make it through the night. I pegged not only the corners of the groundsheet but also the windows/flaps very well with a hammer.Water did not enter from anywhere BUT THROUGH THE THE ZIPS. there are flaps over the zips but because it was windy, the flaps' velcro bits, which should be top to bottom rather than 3 little patches, flapped and water made its way through the zips. Now when I say water I mean a few little drops on the floor. But when you think about 6 set of zips, it is 6 sets of tiny droplets which may splash on things that should avoid water but we were OK really.During the heat, the windows gave a nice airy space when needed. People said it was breezy at night as window nets let cold air in considering there is a gap between them and the flysheet but in a sleeping bag, well wrapped up- we didn't feel anything. Our very little son wasnt bothered either.It is very spacious and easy to set up- even by one person. You may want to watch videos on youtube if unsure but you cant go wrong with colour coding. Fly sheet may be a bit of a hassle trying to put over a very high tent once erected. But there are easy ways (youtube videos) of doing it. After all, I would suggest this tent for heavy campers as wel as first timers- families and small groups.We haven't used the room divider as we liked the feeing of its big open space.It also has two mats which we used as indoor shoe mats by the two entrances.I have read people moaning that water goes down the flysheet and through the doors when it rains. I found two solutions to this:1- keep the damn doors closed. It is still airy enough with everything zipped up anyway.2- give it a punch or two (on the doors) and wait for 5-10 seconds for water droplets to flow down before entering/leaving the tent.My problem was putting it back into its carrier bag after using it!! It happened but took a while... practice made it better. But it was a hassle for me.Hope this review helps if you're in doubt about this product.

Used a few times in rain and hot weather. I love this tent is good quality for the price would recommend. Is HUGE can stand up in it with hinged, structured door flap. So If like me you hate about camping is crawling around and constantly unzipping and rolling up doors this one perfect. Not complaints just some stuff to bear in mind:1.Heavy. Got wheels like luggage but be pain to hawl long distance.2. Assembly is easy all colour coded pole. Can be tricky to reach to get the outer sheet over top if alone. I've managed it but much easier if 2 people.3. Can be bit cold at night.. I think better suited to warmer climate because internal space is massive to warm up and with all round mesh on inner tent the outer cover then has gap to ground so air gets in easy not like sealed bag.Actually for me this is the best thing about it as all side wall curtains open to make cool during day when most tent can feel like sauna.4. Really versatile. When not camping is great to fill with toys as massive garden play tent. Also I found its possible to remove the inner tent and leave just the outer part standing making to make a nice gazebo or marqee. I even did bbq in centre in rain with all side walls open but please note that not recommended or designed for that! Is not a gazebo so quite fiddly to remove inner part.5. No big deal, but standing roof water can drip in a bit when opening closing door because no porch bit. But don't go camping in rain ;) Actually it would be cold if they did some zip on porch extension accessory.6. Packing up not the easiest and never known correct fold and rolling method but always managed since bag seems big enough tolerance to squash in. Although bag is falling to bits now because forced in so much.Cheers

When it came to needing a new tent I always look for quality at a good price. As I tend to camp all year round I needed a tent which could stand up to all the elements and be functional. After reading the many reviews I decided to buy this tent, and I am very glad I did. To start the size allow for two adults to comfortably camp with camp beds, a weeks worth of clothes, food and other camping essentials and still have room inside to sit and relax while listening to the rain outside. Speaking of rain this tent held up to a two day storm where the downpour was so much we could not hear ourselves talk.The small arches over the doors allowed for easy access during this time and kept the inside nice a dry.The main reason I brought this tent is because of the ability to open it up completely and have a nice breeze going through when the sun beats down from above. With temperatures reaching 25C and above the tent remained comfortable to sit in and relax in the shade. My partner is 5ft 11in and can stand comfortably and have room to stretch. The door feature is also a fun novelty and does save on having to mess around with a lose flap when it is windy or raining.Setting up this tent is also a dream compared with past tents. The poles are colour coded and easily fit into place. I have been able to put this tent up and take it down by myself. The packing away can be a little tricky at first but with anything practice makes perfect and again this soon is an easy task.Overall this is a tent which I have recommended to several friends and after many years of camping is a tent that I would happily buy again.

I am completely in love with this tent.I should begin by mentioning that it is still fairly new so I can't comment on wear and tear over time, but I can say a few things:- it is a beautiful thing. It stands out from the crowd. It's colourful and original and with the windows open it feels like a gazebo, and I can't get enough of the door that opens like a real door!- Coleman are a trusted brand for a reason. Within a couple of uses, this tent has been put through it's paces and come out with top marks. It has survived strong winds, torrential rain, hailstones the size of marbles and a muddy river flowing underneath it making walking on the groundsheet feel like walking on a waterbed.No leaks whatsoever. Totally dry inside.- little things matter... like high quality tent pegs that don't bend as soon as they feel stone, and a hook in the centre to hang up a lamp- it is SO easy to put up and take down- it is big. I'm a tall girl and love the fact I can walk around the WHOLE of the inside with a lot of headroom to spare. That being said, you're only going to fit 8 people sleeping in it if you have a separate space for cooking outside of the tent. I like to set it up with the curtain in the middle to separate it into a sleeping space and a cooking/eating space. I set my camp kitchen up like a home-kitchen... a table for washing up, a table for my 2 camp stoves, a shelving unit for storage, and a double fold out seat in the living area, and that leaves room in the sleeping area for... comfortably, no more than 3 people I'd say. We had 2 people and a puppy bed last trip. That was pretty spacious.

Our first family tent so no experience to compare to but we really liked this tent. Only used in our garden over the summer so far.Poles are all colour coded so you know which connect where which was perfect. Simple to click together. Wheeled storage bag was also a great idea. Plus they've really thought about design as they even have a set of instructions sewn into the carry bag so you don't end up losing them. Really clever.Plenty of space inside. We had 4 blow up beds with our duvets plus our dog and still floor space. Didnt use the room divider.Initially thought the hinged door was a great idea but wet actually found it a bit of a trip hazard as it doesn't go all the way to the ground.Less of an issue, but it also doesn't come with any kind of hook or something to actually keep it open during the day time. I know regular tent doors just unzip and roll back and can be tied open. We got round this though but attaching one of our spare carabiner clips and just clipping it into the guy rope nearest.The second door was also never used so had our beds all over towards that end facing the main door.Plenty of height throughout which was something hubby definitely wanted. The hook in the centre of the top of the tent is really handy to attach a light to and the 2 sets of storage pockets also got plenty of use.We even managed to get it rolled back up into the storage bag, whereas I hear with some of them this is a challenge.All in all we found this to be a good first tent for a very good price.

Easy to assemble. Put up in garden before we took camping. Didn't realise the weather overnight. Tipped over because we didn't use the guyropes but just tipping over bent some of the poles. So not that sturdy.We bent the poles back. Took camping. Used all the guyropes. It withstood a week long storm. Fast winds. Thunder. Lightening. Hail. Torrential rain. No leaks. No moving.great tent.Great in size. bought this for two people as we wanted more glamping style of camping. we didn't want a sleeping tent and a storage tent. This tent is big enough to use the separator down the middle. And have a LARGE double blow up bed on one side. With room around it.And the second side for a lounge and storage.Literally a massive tent.We basically had a studio flat as a tent.My 6 foot partner could stand up straight no problem.Another downside, Is that because most of the underlayer of tent (the main part of the tent) is all netting due to the windows. In the evenings it doesn't keep any heat. So even when you go camping in the summer. You'll still need to wear around 50 layers because there is no warmth at all in that tent at night. You will literally freeze.

My family and I decided to go camping this summer in Bulgaria. Whether there is very unpredictable,so when we got to the place it started raining. We had to sleep somewhere so In the rain and thunder, we took the tent out and built it for about 20-25 minutes all together. It was 3 of us and was very stressful trying to put everything together in that whether, but we had to. Surprisingly it wasn't that difficult. It wasn't wet inside. It was absolutely freezing though. I would recommend getting a matrice to sleep on, because I woke up at some point thinking I was genuinely going to freeze to death haha (we were not expecting that whether so we only had thin summer pajamas on).But we survived and so did the tent. I think although it wasn't the best time for camping it was the perfect whether to test the tent out and it definitely passed the test. It was very easy to keep it clean and tidy. Very open. I'd say it would probably fit around 6 people. No more. It will definitely fit more but you have to be quite close to eachother, so in my opinion 6 is alright. Anyway, Really really happy with it. A bit on the pricy side but its worth the money.

I bought this tent for a camping trip to the lake district, it was our first week long camping trip. This tent I must admit can withstand quite a beating. We went in the month of August which is the wind and rain season. The wind speeds were up to 40 mph, and constant rain during the night and day for a few days. No leaks were noticed in the tent and the tent stayed put on the ground. The tent did however distort in shape when the wind was blowing. This tent needless to say is a summer tent and should not be purchased if you plan on camping at any point outside the summer months. The door opening was not a beautiful as you would imagine opening and closing with the zip,lots of poking to make sure zip did not bite down on the tent fabric. As long as tent is not used in high wind situations you should not have a problem with this tent. We managed to fit one double blow up mattress, and two single mattresses for the kids, with still additional space for baggage, and a walk way reception in and out of tent. We never had a chance to test the opening windows or be without the rain cover on top so I cannot comment on that.

Delivery was a little complicated but was remedied very promptly by Amazon customer service & UPS. Assembly: takes a while but this was our first time in a good few years & we are older! Therefore, I reckon it was our ineptitude rather than the procedure being complicated. It is full height all around inside - there is no stooping - a huge plus if one is older or has mobility problems. We have a king size air bed which fits perfectly with ample floor space left for camping equipment...etc. There are two handy pockets incorporated into the wall of the tent. The hinged door is pretty cool idea except there is no way of keeping this open (well none that we have come across).There is a second door which can be kept open. The middle partition is superfluous to our needs, but does offer some privacy if required. Our tent has been erected in the garden for the past week and a half. We have had the usual summer weather: very heavy rain & a lot of wind. It remained stable, completely dry with no dampness inside. Very pleased with this Coleman tent it really offers a ‘glamping experience!’

Our tunnel tent was starting to wear out so decided to grab one of these when it was heavily discounted at the end of the summer. Was a bit unsure about switching from our serious-camper, sober green, 4 man tent to a bright orange mini-big top, but once it was erected (quickly, in half darkness) and we spread ourselves out in it, no going back. Just two drawbacks - interior is dominated by a dark grey floor fabric and is pretty cavernous, which means that it's very hard to illuminate - even with two really bright lanterns, still feels pretty dark. There's also very little hope of warmth at the start or end of the season when it's nippier, because the inner tent is very perforated (about 50% of the wall area is mesh)and the outer tent has two wide open areas in front of the doors (the doors are in the inner tent), with air circulating freely between these openings and the gap between inner and outer tent - so there's no prospect of keeping the interior warm when it's chill outside. Still a fantastic tent for mild weather. The headroom, the views out, the space - all fabulous

So having to accompany the other half on his many hobbies it means for us having to camp over for weekends. I said if I was to come along I’d only go if I was allowed a glamping pod, so I bought this tent.He complained that it would be a nightmare to put up due to its size, but this beauty surprised us both. We had it up in about 25 minutes between the 2 of us. Taking it down was also just as easy considering we were on a windy airfield and it fitted back in the bag. If it had been a nightmare it would be called YOUR tent, but as he was referring to it as OUR tent, I think it was a success.I have only given 4 starts thou because you have to put up the main frame and canvas before the fly sheet.If it was raining your tent would be soaked inside before you’ve even started your camping trip. Also it is one large bulky bag, but thankfully it has wheels, but takes up a lot of space in the car.I like the fact that the ground sheet is all sealed in, this means the dog can’t sneak under the sides.On the whole a good value for money purchase, but still yet to be rain tested.

We love this tent. Would give 5 stars but the holdall bag ripped when we did our first pack up, routine stuff but poor quality stitching renders the bag unusable now. Will have to get it replaced. Disappointing as the tent itself is great. It’s genuinely logical to put up, colour coded, took us 20 minutes at twilight with midges hindering us. It’s beautiful inside and spacious for our family of three. Room to stand and play games. The fiberglass poles for the door which act like a swing hinge are a genius asset, making coming and going easy. Helps keep midges out too as the door is open for less time. The ‘windows’ are so nice when you want to look out from the tent at scenery or keep an eye on kids playing.Integrated groundsheet gives peace of mind and keeps water out. Handy hooks for light and loops we used for clothes hangers.Delivery of this item was three days late. Thanks to amazon service center we got a guarantee it would arrive for our holiday. But the carrier did not deliver on the day stated or for the next two days. Hope that doesn’t happen to others.

The tent itself is pretty great. I love it to be honest. It took a couple of times putting it up to learn how to do it, but then its really easy, and one person can do it - I'm five foot tall and I did it alone - but it is significant easier and faster with two people. It is fully waterproof, as evidenced by camping in pouring rain on a beach on the Isle of Mull and in the Lake District. It gets lots of admiring comments from other campers tooOne negative was the storage bag the tent arrived in was torn around the zip when it arrived. I don't know how anyone could ever get this tent and all the poles etc in that small storage bag anyway, so I'd say the wheeled storage bag was a waste of time,for me anyway. A second negative is that the inner dividing (very flimsy) curtain is really not very good. It doesn't reach the floor - there is a several inch gap at the bottom that I don't understand at all.... it doesn't attach to the main tent properly and when unzipped down the centre, there is no way to hold the the two halves clipped back.

Excellent size for families, fairly easy to erect and dismantle, a few minor improvements would have made it unbeatable. Surprised there isn't a covering of the back door by the flysheet - understandably the front door couldn't have this due to it being hinged. No access for an electric extension lead, so the only way you could have one would be to run it through the door. However, as there is no flysheet protecting it, this does leave it open for water to get in. In terms of size, we had our double airbed, 2 kids ready beds, plenty of space for luggage and a couple of camping chairs. For our first family camping trip this was an excellent choice as we were able to be in the same room as the little ones so they felt reassured knowing where we were,rather than us being in separate bedrooms. Packed into bag easily enough afterwards, and despite some showers through the night we remained dry. Worth being aware of the fact that this pitches inner first, so if it's raining the inside is going to get wet until you can get the flysheet over.

This could be the ideal tent for you? Or then again not. I'm a fair weather camper. If the weather ain't great, I'm not camping. I want a double blow up aerobed, I want a heater to take off the chill at night. I want max headroom and something a bit different.If however you're absolutely crazy and like sleeping on millimetre thick foam mats in the pouring rain... this probably isn't for you.Here in the U.K. we tend to go for all weather tents as we often experience "all weathers" in a single weekend. Coleman is a U.S. brand and therefore they provide seasonal tents. This design has summer in mind and is well ventilated ( you'll never see a drop of condensation ).This also means it lets in a lot of outside temperature through the 6 out of 8 upper wall mesh panels.I personally love this tent and it suits me. To sum this up. The warden on a the site I was at last night said "That's not camping" when he saw me laid out like a pimp on my double bed with all my creature comforts.
