Spread out on your next coleman cabin tent trip with ample space to lounge and stretch in the Coleman® 6-Person Cabin Camping Tent with Screen Room. The screened-in porch lets you enjoy the fresh air with friends and family away from the bugs and keeps dirt from getting tracked in. Plus, you’ll have more freedom to stand upright and move around thanks to the cabin frame’s extra-high ceiling and vertical walls. Stay dry all night long with the detachable rainfly and WeatherTec™ system that features a tub-like floor, patented welded corners, and inverted seams.
But it does that one trick of assembling quickly very, very well. There are some cheap touches, especially in the construction coleman cabin tent, but this is a cheap tent. While this isn’t a tent you would want take out in inclement weather, it’s a perfect option for backyard camping or shorter camping trips in decent weather. When folded and stowed in its bag, the tent is fairly small, making it easy to store. Coleman advertises the setup as being a less than 60-second process. While it may take you more than a minute the first time, we found that setup time to be right on target.
The Skycoleman cabin tent won’t be everyone’s first pick though, which is why we’ve also listed the best models out there for every sort of camper in the outdoors from large family gatherings to solo backpackers. To sleep under the stars with your family without sacrificing comfort, head to Walmart to get the best-selling cabin tent shoppers will be using all summer. Fast to set up and cheap, this is a great pick for backyard camping or camping trips in decent weather. We order this tent online and set it up once we received it but the nylon inside of the poles just crumbled out so the poles wouldn’t stay together.
You could give this tent a knock for its weight, coming in at 18.2 lbs, and a ding for the bag size — packing this one back up did take a little extra smushing, but it wasn’t too bad. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Evergreen 6, weighs 30 pounds and has a packed size of none inches. Clearly it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super easy to set up on your own.
Got this tent for Mother’s Day and was so excited to try it out. I have backpacked, been in SAR in Alaska, camped and hiked all over the western states. Space-wise, the dimensions are 11 x 8 ft and the back room has around 64 ft² (6 m²).
As far as ventilation is concerned, the only tent we recommend that has an integrated rain fly is the Coleman Instant Tent. The Night Cat came close to getting our endorsement, but cheap components prevented it from being an editor’s choice. What we did like about this tent was the spacious footprint and the two large doors that allowed for a refreshing cross breeze. This tent has an integrated rain fly, and could have been stuffy without a lot of thoughtful attention to ventilation.
So the picture above shows the tent from the front where you have the only door with the central zipper and the screen room as the front area. Note also that the tent is quite tall with its 6 ft 4 inches peak height.
