Customer Reviews

We are pleased with this tent
We have had this tent for 3 years now. Last year we took it on a 2 week trip, setting it up and taking it down every other day. My wife and I can set this up in 20 minutes taking our time, 10 if its raining. I have set this up by myself many times in my backyard to air out. It is not difficult to set up, even by myself. We did have 1 pole break on us, just got a repair kit at wal-mart for about 6 bucks and fixed it, good as new. And I'd say for as many times as its been set up (about 35 times) 1 pole breaking isn't bad. The loft is great for storage, we've been in it in the rain and only about 2-4 cups of water have gotten in, mainly in the corners.
We can get our queen size air matress in and it takes up 1\2 the tent, the other half has room for a pack and play crib and all our gear. (we dont travel lightly). The rainfly is great.
I couldn't imagine getting 7 people in there, I guess if everyone had a sleeping bag and nothing was stored in there it may be possible.

very nice tent
We just used this tent, our very first, on a trip. We practiced once, assuming we'd have to practice repeatedly, but we figured it out quickly, even with our [...] running around, "helping"!

When we got to our campsite we got the tent up quickly and easily, with nary a snarky moment. The instructions are simple to follow; we hadn't even practiced the rainfly, but got that put up in minutes by following the directions. Easy!

When it came time to take down, I did it myself. SO easy! The only thing I asked for help with was undoing the big poles. It could be done alone, but it just seemed easier, with less chance of shockcorded poles whipping through the air, for both ends to be held at the same time.

The one thing that keeps this from being a 5 star is that one of the rings for the rainfly, where you loop the rope through, broke when our toddler fell on the rope. Of course, it's better that the ring break than for the nylon fabric loop (to which the ring was attached) to pull completely out of the rainfly's fabric! But still, I wish it hadn't broken, or that the loops and rings were made in a different way...we'll likely replace it with a key ring that can be "threaded" back on, but it won't be the same!

Oh, and the mat is separate from the tent, and is only staked down in two places, so if it gets windy, it will flip over itself. But that's just an annoyance, not a true problem.

I'd actually give it 4.5 stars, but that wasn't an option.

Tent survived wind storm
My kids and I went to the plains in Wyoming to camp along the Oregon Trail like our pioneer ancestors. That night there were gusts of wind 65 MPH. It took several people to put up the tent as the wind would lift it like a parachute. I could not sleep because I thought the tent would come down. The tent made it. It leaned a bit, but it made it. We stayed completly dry inside even though it had rained. Some other campers we were with were not lucky. Coleman has some better, thicker tent stakes that we bought, and I am glad we did. I don't thing we would have been as lucky with the cheap tent stakes that came with the tent. It is very roomy inside though I can't see 6 or 7 people sleeping in it. It fit four very comfortably with extra space for all our gear including a large cooler.
