Here you have my selection of the best Coleman 6 person family camping tents with some great and sometimes unique features, all very affordable and incredibly popular. If there is one area where the Coleman Sundome 6 let us down the most, coleman cabin tent it certainly would be weather protection (or lack thereof). The rainfly only extends about halfway down on all sides, leaving the lower portion of the tent body exposed, and you won’t find any sealed seams to help keep water out.
Two vestibules—that’s the camping word for “mudroom”—each add 18.75 extra square feet of livable space, which is handy when you want to store muddy boots or brew coffee from the comfort of your tent in the rain. It also comes with a tailor-made anti-abrasion groundsheet to protect the tent from wear and tear. For campers looking for a bit more space, the Marmot Tungsten 4-Person Tent is another good choice for two people. A full rain fly with easy-attach color-coded clips protects a half-mesh, half-polyester tent body and adds two large vestibules. With pentagonal doors and an overhanging dome scaffolded by two brow poles—rather than a single one—the fly provides excellent shielding from multidirectional wind and rain, providing you follow the setup instructions faithfully.
Restful sleeps at the campsite are not always easy with the full force of a dazzling morning sunrise. This is why the team at Coleman launched their patented Northstar Darkroom fabric treatment which blocks out 95% of sunlight from inside your tent, and keeps it 5 degrees cooler inside than other untreated tents. Over a century later, you can find the Coleman logo on tents, furniture, cooking gear and sleeping bags in just about any campsite across Australia.

The quality might not be the same as a brand like Marmot, but that’s because they’re targeting a different demographic. Coleman users probably aren’t hoping to backpack through the Himalayas – instead, they want an affordable tent option coleman tents that’s good enough to get them through a little summer car camping. A tent does you no good if there’s not enough room to house everyone! It’s worth noting that tents run small, in an effort to reduce weight as much as possible.
Colman’s attractive pricing and lack of information can lead people to purchase these tents who later swap them out for lighter, more waterproof, purpose-made tents. At the end of the day, Coleman tents are at the conveniently available, budget-conscious end of the camping product scale. If you are a two-season (spring and summer) car camper you will probably have no real issues with Coleman tents. The boxy shape of the Copper Canyon is not great in high winds, and the tent’s stakes are the opposite of heavy-duty.
Another worth taking a look at is the Carlsbad Fast Pitch 6 similar to the evanston it has a screened area and is advertised as a fast pitch tent. 10 of Coleman’s tents have a suggested retail price of less than $100 You can often find another 10 or so, that with discounts fall into this category. Rather than just playing safe and highlighting those that are always cheapest. As you realize from the name, this tent combines two great features, a screen room and dark rest design. The latter implies that in the bedroom, up to 90% of daylight is blocked.
