Review: Great tent, lots of room easy up - Easy set up and take down. It took me a little bit to figure it out but works great. I set up the tent by myself in less than five minutes
Review: It will be hard to go back to an old-school tent after using this. - I read as many reviews as possible from different sites before ordering this tent. I camp at least 3 or 4 times a year and the worst part of it is setting up and breaking down the tent. I don't need to go into detail about how easy this tent is to set up. The videos speak for themselves. I will say that if you follow the instructions and watch the videos that you will have an easy time. Don't get in too much of a hurry though or you may damage something or pinch your fingers. I will concentrate on the tent itself. This tent looks like any standard cabin tent from the inside and the outside. It is roomy and has no sagging due to the well-fit pole frame. The windows all have sippers for screen ventilation. There are two ceiling vents. These are a great idea by Coleman. The nice thing about the vents is that they can be completely closed or opened. I did order the rain fly with mine so I can leave the ceiling vents open even when it is raining. Although this is billed as a 6 person tent I would rate it at a 3 person if you don't want it to be too crowded. There were 2 of us on our first outing in this tent. It was very roomy for 2 of us, our mattresses, a small table and then room for our packs. It is nice to stand up in a tent after years of having to crawl around in small dome tents when I was camping on my own. I will now also take this tent to camp when it's ONLY me since it is so easy to set up. Why should I put up with the cramped quarters of my backpack tent when I'm car camping and this tent is so convenient? I will advise that I did waterproof this tent with silicone before using it and I always use a ground tarp underneath. With the windows cracked and the vents open we had zero dew inside the tent. It didn't rain on this first outing so I can't speak to how it would perform but I carefully inspected the seams and saw none of the tell-tale pinholes that might mean a leak. This is a great tent for my purposes. 7-10-14 - I have now used this tent for 3 camp-outs and it continues to impress me. It withstood a 3 hour rainstorm in the Smoky Mountains and was completely bone-dry inside. Again, it should be noted that I took the time to waterproof the tent before ever using it but I am can't imagine that this tent would have leaked. Properly staked I can't see this tent even budging in the winds associated with a thunderstorm. One added benefit of the rainfly is that it also has guy ropes to help further anchor the tent. I always use a ground tarp under the tent, tucked under so water doesn't collect underneath the floor if it does rain. This is a great tent. P.S. My own touches - I use those interlocking multi color mats that you can by at Home Depot or Lowes inside the tent for padding and protection and I bought the longest nails, spikes really that I could find at the hardware store which I use for stakes. They are inexpensive, around a buck each and they do a better job than the cheap stakes the tent comes with. 3.23.15 - Have now used this tent several more times and I can't say enough good about it. Remember that I did take the trouble to waterproof the tent with Kiwi waterproofing aerosol and I also use the rain fly. It rained again on my most recent outing and we stayed completely dry while we heard those around us scrambling to avoid puddles or as in the case of one camper - just packed up and left. The ease of setting up and fast setup proved even more useful during the last day of my most recent trip. Not only could I pack up my tent quickly in the rain, but when I got home I could quickly set it back up to dry once the sun came out. Now that I've practiced a few times I can set up and take down my tent by myself. Bottom line- great tent that lets you enjoy camping instead of spending time matching poles or wrestling with inserting fiberglass poles into the sleeves of a dome tent. Heed my advice though and use a ground cloth, get better tent pegs, use the rain fly and waterproof everything just to be on the safe side. You can have your tiny 400 dollar one or two person tents for car camping but I will continue to enjoy my tent that is more like a house and lets me stand up and stretch out with all my gear. BTW I have an expensive Catoma one person tent that takes longer to set up than my Coleman Instant Tent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this be set up inside?**
A: This has been the best tent ever!!! As long as you have the space to set it up in it can go anywhere you want it too. My Boyfriend and I have been camping for over 20 years and this is the best tent we have ever had :)

**Q: When did Coleman start selling tents without rain fly's?**
A: I do a lot of camping and at times with a lot of other people. I have seen Coleman, Wenzel, REI, Ozark etc all leak when it rains and it’s usually to not knowing how to setup a tent. Where to place the tent and just not having basic camping skills. For 20 years I have had 2 Coleman tents that have been thru 60 mph winds. Hailstorms and such. I can loan a tent to a friend he gets wet and I use the same tent and stay dry. It all starts with placement and staking the 4 corners correctly.

**Q: It's not waterproof ok, what about dust in a desert environment? would the inside be full of dust after a week  ?**
A: I took the 6 person version to Burning Man in 2019 and if held up fine even in the dust storms. I kept the top vents open and cut out some filter from an air conditioner filter. It worked great and I only had a minimal amount of dust in my tent even after a long week (and I would say most of that dust probably came off of me).

**Q: how big is it when packed up in the bag?**
A: If you don't expand the bag, the tent packed inside the bag is 47" x 10" x 9"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY easy to set up. Comfortable space for 4. OK in the rain!
*by K***N on October 20, 2012*

I opted for this tent because the overall consensus was how very easy it is to put up. Yes, it really is very, VERY easy to erect. We are a family of scientific/engineering types, so not the very least likely to succeed with putting up a tent, but we are also not very advanced campers. With some experience (less than one camping trip per year) but not a lot, we found this tent to be super easy to put up, even with 5 and 8 year old children distracting us in the process. We used it a couple of times in the backyard first. No real problems there (except a nervous preschooler who decided to "go back home"/inside before 9pm.) When we were planning a class camping trip with other families, I warned my husband, "the reviews say this tent is great, EXCEPT IN THE RAIN" so we planned to just pack up early and leave if the weather turned bad. Well, living in New England... we got a pretty intense thunderstorm during our three night camping trip! The shelter over the picnic tables was leaking. One (out of five) families just packed it in and left at dusk when their tent started to flood. The weather reports the next day actually stated flash floods occurred in the area where we camped... but we slept pretty darn dry in the Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent! I would say there were two very tiny spots of water infiltration from above. We definitely had one child who rolled to the side and got a damp sleeping bag due to sleeping in contact with the side of the tent. HOWEVER, even without the rainfly and with no tarp covering us, all in all, we had a dry tent. This far exceeded my expectation for how well this inexpensive, easy-up tent would handle serious rainfall. (It POURED in the evening, then rained softly to moderately throughout most of the night.) We did luck out, by arriving last in our group, in having the highest placed campsite at our New Hampshire state park. The coziest seeming sites were definitely downhill from ours when the weather turned bad. The site did seem pretty flat upon initial visual inspection, though. The soil was sandy, so the rain water was able to sink it fairly quickly, thank goodness. Aside from weather resistance, our family of four found the interior space of this tent comfortable. We use the self-inflating (backpacker style) camping pads by Therm-A-Rest ( Thermarest Luxury Map Air Mattress, Blue in the 30-inch wide XL size for the adults and much smaller 3/4 length pads for the kids), so we aren't crowding the tent as much as household sized thick air mattresses would. It was snug but comfortable with our beds deployed and a few duffle bags with clothing. We had room to move between our beds, but we only use the tent to sleep and get dressed. Having read all the reviews, I brought a few wooden clothes pins to use to keep the window flaps from flapping, and I had zero issue with any noise or inconvenience with the windows. I am very easily disturbed by things like fluttering flaps. As others have written, it sure would be nice to have extra loops or pockets in the tent for storage, but, again, I knew what to expect and just kept a little tote next to my bed with my LED lamp, eyeglasses, etc. At this price point, I found the tent completely satisfactory as far as features were concerned. I wish there were a footprint sized precisely for this tent. I worried about water infiltration all night during our heavy rains. I was able to fold a standard tarp to fit neatly underneath the Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent, but I would have paid a few extra dollars to have a tarp that fit perfectly like a proper footprint does. I am pretty likely to buy the new rainfly accessory for this tent now that it is available. As I said, our experience was very positive in a pretty significant rainfall, but I did sleep poorly worrying that water was going to come in during the night. I have also strongly considered some kind of easy up shelter just tossed up over the entire tent to stop the worst of a deluge getting to us... In a nutshell, I am very satisfied with the Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent. It met my highest priority, which was a set-up so easy that tent-anxiety wouldn't keep us from heading out for a camping trip. The five-star review is because FOR THE PRICE, this tent wildly exceeded my expectations. I would be using much more stringent requirements (pockets, conveniences) if the price point were more than just barely into the three digit range, like the Paha Que, Mountain Hardware, etc. tents that I covet but could not justify for our infrequent current usage. This is a great place to start if you are a family considering camping but not ready for big cash commitments. In that scenario, IMHO, spend less on your first tent and a little more to ensure you have good sleeping pads (cushioning) to avoid physical pain/misery, warm enough sleeping bags, and good basic cooking equipment so everyone can enjoy themselves.
