This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Very disappointed
This tent seemed great the first time we used it. Poped up easily and folded down nice. The second time we used it the zipper broke on the carry bag. The third time we used it the tent started ripping along the supports in 2 places. The zippers on the tent seem like they will break soon too. I was very disappointed in the cheap material used for this tent. It ended up costing $70 with shipping to be used 3 times. We may get one more use out of this tent before it needs thrown away. It was a great idea and my 5 month old, 2 yr old, and 4 yr old seem to enjoy it but very poorly made.

2. Another great tent.
I have owned a genji pop-up beach tent for a while, and so far, it has worked wonderfully. Wanting something that could also be used for trips to the park or camping, I recently purchased this outdoor tent because it can be zipped up both in the front and back. My husband and I used it recently on our vacation and it worked great! My kids loved it, and I had an excellent afternoon nap on the beach. The way the tent zips up completely is an added convenience. It works great as a changing station. It also helps keep the bugs out of our food when we have picnics at the park!

This Backpacking Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great tent
Used this tent over the weekend on an overnight float trip on the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania. It was easy to assemble and tear down -- less than five minutes... It was very comfortable sleeping two people and miscellaneous gear. It withstood a five-hour rainstorm with no issues. There was no condensation inside the tent and the ventillation was tremendous. It wasn't stuffy at all despite the damp conditions outside. The two doors are a bonus. It is easy to carry and pack, and is very lightweight. I plan on taking it to Yellowstone later this summer... Great tent for the money.

2. Exceptional Value
Being 6'5", it is often difficult to find a lightweight tent that is long enough for my frame--this tent delivers! The description suggests users up to 7' tall--but I think anyone over 6'8" or so would have their head/feet pressed to one end or the other.

Amazingly easy to set up--colour-coding and instructions on the bag--brilliant. Seams appear well sewn and the fly covers well while keeping rain and wind out. The included guy lines would be a useful tool in extreme weather, but I found the tent very stable even in high winds.

On the negative end: The vestibule size is VERY limited I found...I would have liked to see a larger fly to increase vestibule storage area. There is one on each side of the tent (at each door) and likely enough room for a single pack on each side...but barely. Entry and exit from the tent proved difficult with the fly on...but perhaps those with a smaller stature would not experience this negative?

Overall this tent is...

This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. This tent is amazing
I've just read all the other reviews here and I just don't get it. I purchased this tent in summer of '10. Anyone who camps knows the first thing you need to do is put some Camp Dry on your tent. We set the tent up and put Camp Dry on it. The next night we got hit with what felt like a monsoon. It was literally 24 straight hours of non-stop pouring rain. We were dry as could be. We camp a lot and everyone raves about our tent when they see it. As far as set-up goes, this tent is easier than any I've ever set up. Basically 3 poles and your done. One person can do it in 20 minutes or so but a team of two can have it done it 5 minutes. Its just me and my girlfriend who use it so there is TONS of room. The swinging door is an awesome feature and on nice evenings when you open all the windows and the rain fly is off you get a cool breeze blowing through even on the hottest of nights. As far as water puddling, make sure you pull the rain fly tight. The water is going to run off and pool...

2. Big Tent perfect for family camping
After owning a previous tent for over ten years, it was time for a new one. I have skimped on price before but ultimately wound back up with the Coleman line. They just sell great reliable product. I did a lot of research and decided to go with the Coleman WeatherMaster 10 tent. I have two young daughters and my wife, this tent is the perfect size for a long weekend.
I set it up by myself in about 20-25 minutes. I recommend getting some help and the time will be cut in half. It was very easy to set up, although the directions sewn inside the bag are a little rough to read. I suggest printing out a copy from Coleman's website and follow them. Definitely set the tent up before you head out to familiarize yourself with it. You will see it is very easy.
It is a very large and roomy tent. It only has two spacious rooms, but do you really need more than that?? I have seen other reviews where people had mentioned it looked cheaply constructed. I disagree! The seams...

Excellent For The Dollars
Went round and round for a large tent for car camping, you know, when the whole tribe goes.
Got out this weekend for the first time with the WeatherMaster 10.

1) Setup was easy with one person, pretty windy so the fly was a little bit of a challenge, but doable alone.
2) Well made, well designed product. We had three full size men in there, all with oversized cots and all our gear. Pleanty of room.
3) Ventilates really well.
4. FULL DAY of steady rain on Saturday, found only one leak in a corner, maybe 3 tablespoons of water; didn't have time to get the seams sealed before heading out. Will cover that when I set it up to clean. Did very well though, it was a LOT of rain.

Very happy with the purchase.

  • 3.8-pound weight; meets CPAI-84 flame retardant specifications

This All Products give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not bad for the price paid!
I bought this because my husband and I were going backpacking and I didn't want to carry too much weight. I also didn't have much money to spend on a new tent. This tent weighs under 4 lbs. It's a tight fit for two adults, but manageable. I'm 5'7" so someone taller might find it too short.

I think my only complaint is that there was quite a bit of condensation on the inside by morning, so if you are sleeping right against the walls, you are going to get a little wet. I slept in my multi-use rain poncho, so it didn't bother me, but my hubby was cold.

It also comes with a bag, which is nice.

2. Not Bad, Not Good
The tent is alright for a quick little trip. It goes up fairly quickly and easily and has plenty of space for one person. If you're as tall as I am though, or anything over six foot, you may have to sleep diagonally in it to fully stretch out.

Unfortunately it does have a lot of downsides, but what would you expect from a tent at this price? First, and most baffling of all, is the little window on the back. It does indeed have a zip-down flap to cover it but this flap is located on the EXTERIOR. If, say, you want to close it in the middle of the night, you will have to go outside to do so.

The tent stakes it comes with are about as flimsy as cardboard, but it's easy to get better stakes. The out flaps that cover the doors only have nylon ties with which to tie them together. If you don't tie them in a perfect bow, they might slip and become your average knot and unless you are a rather small person, you won't be able to get out until you untie the knot which may...

This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Coleman Elite tent
This tent easy to set up, has some great features, and is priced well. As with all tents (in my opinion) you will need to use a seam sealer, especially in corners and attachment points (or it will leak). I really like the hinged door and the roll up window. The light is also a welcome addition. Overall, I really like this tent... now for some less than great points to consider...

I have a high queen air mattress. Because of the steep angle of the walls, you must place the mattress 1 - 1 1/2 feet away from any wall...or it will leak. So the idea that you have this huge tent changes to it is really great for 2 adults with a queen bed and 2 dogs. We have plenty of room, but 2 queen beds would not be possible without getting wet. Also,the idea of 2 rooms... no way with a queen bed.

I was really disappointed to find the variflo adjustable ventilation feature was omitted from my tent. This feature would be welcome when it is really hot out... Coleman has...

2. Awesome Tent
Can't say enough good about this tent. The lighting system is great for those 3 am excursions to the nearest tree. The 'hinged' door keeps you from zipping/unzipping each and every time through the door. It is worth while to buy a dozen heavy duty steaks rather than rely on the ones included. We withstood very high winds and rain - stayed dry and tight - no issues. After a dry run - it only takes 10 minutes to set up and about 15 mins to take down. Expandable case allows for less than perfect rolling-up and storage - quick and easy. Shop around Amazon - we found this at an Amazon merchant for $158 plus shipping.

1. Evanston 6 first impressions out of the box
Here are my first impressions of my new Coleman Evanston 6 after I set it up for the first time. Plus some product details I wasn't able to find before the purchase.

I set it up alone. Two long black poles, two long grey poles, a short black pole for the rear window bow, color coded sleeves, no confusion, no mix ups. The poles are very long and bendy. I found it easier to feed the poles in section by section, unfolding as you go rather than following the instructions to unfold them completely first. The fabric sleeves are not reinforced so check the pole ends and ferules for burrs and sharp edges and feed them in carefully. It was also easier to bow and raise the tent with just the two black poles and then feed the front grey pole after. Less weight to wrestle and less floppy ends sticking out. Toss one of the guy strings over the top and then pull the rain fly carefully over. Then install the last grey pole in the awning and stake everything out. There are several velcro...

2. good but not great
This is a nice tent that comfortably accomodated two adults and two children. It was fairly easy to set up and has helpful features with a vestibule awning to divert rain. The only negative is that the loops through which the external tent poles pass are not reinforced in any way. So I already have a slight tear on one of them after using it the first time. You have to be very careful passing the poles through the fabric. Overall it is very light and seems a bit fragile. But for the price, and with care, it will be a very good tent for us and our grandchildren. I would definitely recommend setting it up on a tarp.

Coleman Evanston 6
I received the tent this week and knew I had to set it up before I took it camping. It barely fit on our deck, this thing is huge! I really like the open feeling it gives, very tall, ample room, and appears sturdy. Setup was done in the typical style of a dome tent. It had two fiber poles(much better than the old wood ones) that crossed each other, then a third hoop to lift up the front a little. This was very straight forward. I set it up by myself and it only took me about fifteen minutes, first time. I haven't tried the rain-fly yet.
Again, I really like the size, being able to stand in a tent is really nice.

What I didn't like was how the material felt a little thin. I actually tore a little 1/8th inch hole in the pole guide while barely pushing. This is not your grandpa's canvas tent! I just kept easing the pole through and working the fabric. I will also be getting a tarp for under the tent, as that is not as substantial as I would like it to be.

This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great tent, good price, easy setup, a couple of recommendations....
I paid just over $104.00 for the Wenzel Great Basin tent on sale and it is HUGE. We immediately set it up in my backyard for two weeks as I sealed the seams (more about that later).

My kids slept in it one of those nights and it was rained on several different days and subjected to high winds (30-40 mph gusts) a couple of days with no problems but some slight leakage in the staked corners and where the pouches were stitched on the inside. These leaks occurred BEFORE I sealed the seams. Once the tent's seams were sealed, my wife and I inspected it thoroughly from inside during one of the steady rains we had while it was set up in the backyard and found no leakage at all. (See the last paragraph for information about seam sealing.)

My only concerns about this tent are:

1. The fly doesn't extend out quite far enough over the ends to cover the windows. If you left those windows open during a rain, you'd get water in the tent. (Fortunately the fly does...

2. This tent is HUGE
This tent was a lot bigger than I expected it to be, which is a good thing. It is very roomy, so if you have a lot of people (or just a lot of stuff), this will work great. There is enough room for multiple adults to stand up straight without hitting their heads on the ceiling. Despite the fact that it is so big, it is very easy to set up (I set it up on my own, with no help). My only complaint is that the air circulation is rather poor. The windows are rather small compared to the size of the tent, so unless you have the rain fly off, it is very stuffy.
