Coleman Tent Octagon, 6 Man Festival Dome Tent, 6 Person Family Camping Tent with 360° Panoramic View, Stable Steel Pole Construction, Sewn-in Groundsheet, 100 Percent Waterproof

This tent is amazing and just what I needed for my 3 children (ranging from 14 to 9, boys and girls) and me. I’m not a camper, and just wanted something we could all fit in comfortably without all being squished together for in the garden, it’s huge! It was pretty easy to put up, my 14 year old and me done it leisurely in just under two hours (having never put one up in our lives), the poles were all colour coded and instructions attached to the bag, which was slightly annoying at times, but then at least we won’t loose them! The tent is sturdy and has been up for a week now with mixed weather including rain, windy at times and sun. I have experienced no leaks. The children love it and have had various friends sleep over in it. I have had a double mattress and two single mattresses in there at once plus the dog bed and a tele, and there’s still space! It can get chillier in the evening when we were settling in and eating snacks and watching a movie, so we had a little heater on for a very short period of time to bring the temperature up a little bit which really helped, and then we had feather duvets so were fine during the night. Then it was very hot in the mornings with the sun on the tent, but I presume that’s the same with any tent. Luckily this tent opens right up making it lovely and airy when hot. I love this design, it looks amazing and you get that 360 view. We loved the stable door and chose to use that as our main door as you can see through the top part (and open it up if required). We would have liked the same on the other door, and would have used that as our main door if so, as it has the pull open/closed feature which would have been easier when going in and out all the time, but we really wanted to see out the door which was facing the house (just personal preference). We haven’t took it down yet so unsure how easy that will be, but all in all really impressed and for an amazing price in the sale. Love it!

Such a nice tent. Easy to assemble, large inside area, the orange colour gives a sunny, uplifting feel. We also purchased the fitted carpet for inside. The carpet was expensive for basically, a large picnic blanket but there was no good alternative. The windows that open all around is a very good feature. It's a shame the main door has no window but that is the only small downside to the whole purchase. It's been permanently set up in a large wooded area, it's been through heavy rain days with no leaks whatsoever. We have had the tent for a few weeks now and camped for around a weeks worth of days, on and off. We are considering purchasing the extention area soon. Both carpet and extension area are expensive, in my opinion but the tent was an absolute deal so I don't mind so much. I'd say this is an excellent choice for many campers. Although, if you have children, I think you'd want a separate compartment for sleeping. That said its a good sturdy design and makes maximum use of all the space provided but being so open plan. I hope the review helps you 😊

This review has been written after a week of camping in Cornwall. Weather in that week has been as follows; extreme heat, extreme windy conditions, extreme rain and all of the above at once... I know nothing about the water proofing levels. So after reading people's feedback saying it was 2000 whatever instead of 3000 as other tents, I bought a most seller water proofing spray on amazon and sprayed its flysheet after erecting it to test it. It was a 10 mins job. So my review does not reflect the original water proofing of this tent. It stood up well in crazy wind where you'd doubt you make it through the night. I pegged not only the corners of the groundsheet but also the windows/flaps very well with a hammer. Water did not enter from anywhere BUT THROUGH THE THE ZIPS. there are flaps over the zips but because it was windy, the flaps' velcro bits, which should be top to bottom rather than 3 little patches, flapped and water made its way through the zips. Now when I say water I mean a few little drops on the floor. But when you think about 6 set of zips, it is 6 sets of tiny droplets which may splash on things that should avoid water but we were OK really. During the heat, the windows gave a nice airy space when needed. People said it was breezy at night as window nets let cold air in considering there is a gap between them and the flysheet but in a sleeping bag, well wrapped up- we didn't feel anything. Our very little son wasnt bothered either. It is very spacious and easy to set up- even by one person. You may want to watch videos on youtube if unsure but you cant go wrong with colour coding. Fly sheet may be a bit of a hassle trying to put over a very high tent once erected. But there are easy ways (youtube videos) of doing it. After all, I would suggest this tent for heavy campers as wel as first timers- families and small groups. We haven't used the room divider as we liked the feeing of its big open space. It also has two mats which we used as indoor shoe mats by the two entrances. I have read people moaning that water goes down the flysheet and through the doors when it rains. I found two solutions to this: 1- keep the damn doors closed. It is still airy enough with everything zipped up anyway. 2- give it a punch or two (on the doors) and wait for 5-10 seconds for water droplets to flow down before entering/leaving the tent. My problem was putting it back into its carrier bag after using it!! It happened but took a while... practice made it better. But it was a hassle for me. Hope this review helps if you're in doubt about this product.

Good tent, and we are happy. This isn’t my first tent, but I chose to buy this one as I’m 6’2” and am sick of stooping in tents! It’s nice and tall inside (but the top of the door is still low) and feels spacious. The proper opening door is fantastic. We use a bungee cord to hold it open if we need to, as it does always close itself. We had quite a bit of rain on one night, but it performed great, no issues. Putting it up is very easy. Much less stressful than fibre glass poled tents. I put it up and take it down on my own with no hassles. It’s easiest to put the poles in, then drape the outer sheet over before lifting and sitting the poles in the base. Throwing the top sheet over can be tricky on your own. With two people it’s a doddle (use the guy lines). There ISN’T an inlet for a power cable to come in, which is disappointing. We didn’t have electric on our first trip, but we have on the next. It may have to just come through the door, but as the zips ONLY meet halfway up, the cable will probably pull the bottom zip down. It’s not ideal. It comes with groundsheet style door mats which is a nice touch, but there is no groundsheet/footprint available. And with British camping, I’d recommend one. I bought a 3.5m tarpaulin from Toolstation for a fiver which does the job, it’s just fractionally too small, but it keeps the base dry and protected. The pegs supplied are actually good! A real surprise for a tent to have good pegs as standard. There are loops on two corners and the centre of the roof, to fit the divider, but it would have been handy to have the loops on ALL corners to give you a choice of position, and to be used to hang other things like lights. It is a very bright tent. Great for us, but be aware of that, if you want a darker tent (there is a blackout version available). Now, the tents only major downside. Temperature. If you’re camping in the warm summer days, it’s fantastic. It is incredibly well ventilated, especially when you open up the window “curtains”. But I wouldn’t take this tent on a cold trip (early spring etc) as air constantly flows under the outer tent (which doesn’t touch the ground), and the inner tent is mainly just mesh. It was chilly one night and it woke us all up. There’s no way to warm the tent up, so take extra layers!

I have used this tent for several weekends with and without the additional porch which can be purchased separately from many camping outlets. For a couple this tent has a glamping feel but tolerates moderate winds well and is easy to set up. Unlike a lot of tents it has good ventilation even when completely closed. This is because the inner tent has the doors and fly sheet is open at both door ends. A different and well thought out design with steel poles and an octagon shape which make it very robust considering it has full standing height across the entire inner tent. The hinged access door is not gimmick as it is easy to open and shut so bugs don’t get inside. Although well ventilated I did not find it colder than other tents I have used even on autumn nights. In fact the ventilation reduces condensation. There is also very little increase in CO2 levels during the night as measured with an air quality meter. In hot weather the fly sheet can be unzipped and folded back on six sides and the inner mesh still prevents bugs getting in. Even during a heat wave the tent could be tolerated inside. There is a divider which can be placed across the middle of the tent which is not very useful for a couple when camping. If there were more tags a section could be easily divided off for a on-suite washing/toilet area and privacy if windows are open. We achieved this by using fridge type magnets with carabiner snap hooks on the inside attached by using steel washers to back the magnet on the outside of the inner tent.

Huge tent. Looks great. Top quality. Took me and my partner about 15 minutes to get the inner tent up. All colour coded, everything just clicks in and it's so easy. Use the couple of guide ropes to pull the outer tent up and over the inside. Easiest and best quality tent i've ever used. Tons of room and headroom. Open the zips up for a fantastic panoramic view. Carry bag is on wheels, got it back in no problem. Perfect.!!!

Amazing tent great quality far better than I expected & relatively easy to erect & take down. Very satisfied customer.

A great tent, but sure you try to assemble it before you actually need it! I bought this tent for my daughters and I to go camping in Devon for our summer holiday. We usually stay in a caravan but, due to Covid, decided to camp this year instead. We tried to put the tent up for a trial run before we set off, and I’m very glad we did! The tent had a faulty part and could not be assembled - it would have been a nightmare if we had got to Devon (hundreds of miles away from home) and then found that we had no working tent! At first, assembly seemed to be a breeze, we couldn’t believe how easy it was: you lay out and peg down the inner tent, set out the poles, connect the green-coloured poles to the green coloured connectors - they slide in easily and then twist until they click. We got all but one of the green poles in and were just saying we couldn’t believe how easy the assembly was when my daughter said she couldn’t get her green pole into the connector. We all had a go and couldn’t for the life of us get the pole to slide in! Eventually we looked closely at the connectors and realised that one had - for some inexplicable reason - raised ridges on the inside which made the connector hole too small for the pole to slide in! I’ve attached photos to this review - the connector photographed should be completely smooth on the inside without all the raised ridges. We were unable to finish assembling the tent and had to pack it all away and arrange a return. To Amazon’s credit, they arranged a free replacement to be sent out the next day and that should arrive tomorrow! I’ll update my review once that has arrived and we have assembled it - hopefully the replacement will be without fault! UPDATE: The replacement tent arrived the very next morning, and I’m pleased to say that this one has no faults! We tried assembling it yesterday and it was so easy. You probably want two people just to help lifting it up evenly on both sides: once you have connected all the poles to the connectors, lay the outer tent over the inner tent and then lift and stand the tent up. The tent is very tall once assembled and it would be difficult to throw the outer tent over the inner tent after it’s been stood up. The poles secure to plastic hooks along the side of the inner tent and to little metal pegs at the bottom of the inner tent. You peg down the outer tent, connect thin flexible poles to the arch above the door and to one of the doors to make a firm push-open door rather than just a flap of tent material that unzips. Pros of the tent: It’s beautiful! Once all the ‘windows’ are open the panoramic view you get from inside is lovely (although opening the tent up like this does leave you with no privacy as the tent can be seen into!). It’s spacious. Room enough for two double surveys plus our husky and all our stuff. The tent comes with a divider which you can put up in the middle or the tent if there are less of you and you want one half of the tent for sleeping and one as a living or storage space, or if there are more of you but you’d like some privacy inside the tent. The space in this tent is great - it makes so much difference when you need to go to the loo in the middle of the night and don’t have to crawl across the tent to find the door to get out. You can just stand up and walk out, which is great. The tent is VERY big so you’ll want to make sure your campsite knows how much space you’ll need to pitch it! The tent comes with a carry case with wheels, which is great as the tent is very heavy so it helps to be able to pull it rather than having to carry it. The doors close really securely. One door can be made into a solid door that you pull and push open using a small flexible pole, but it can still be zipper up securely. The other door has two zips that meet in the middle. Our last 4 man dome tent just had a flap of fabric which closed with a u-shaped zipper - our husky (a little Houdini!) could always get out through that door by laying his weight against it and the zipper would slowly undo. The husky cannot (so far) open the doors on this tent (touch wood)! Seems to be water proof enough! It chucked it down last night, which sounded beautiful sleeping inside the tent. My daughters (and I and all our stuff!) stayed dry. Cons: May be faulty! Make sure you test out assembling your tent before you need it! Instructions are not clear. There are some picture instructions sewed in to the inside of the bag, they don’t tell you much more than you would figure out just by laying the tent out and looking at all the parts. Fortunately assembly is easy and intuitive - all the parts and connectors are colour coded so you can easily work out which part goes where. It’s COLD in the tent! It gets a bit cold and breezy in the tent. I do not recommend you try to sleep in this tent with just a sleeping bag for warmth. You will want at least a duvet - preferably a heavy toy one, and perhaps some blankets as well! Not really a tent for camping as much as ‘glamping’. If you’re taking an air bed and lots of warm bedding, you’ll be good. It’s BRIGHT in the tent! If you’re camping in the summer expect it to be very bright in the tent until the sun sets and as soon as the sun rises (at about 4am!). I kind of wish I’d got the black-out option instead of going for the prettier orange one! You might want to bring a sleep mask if you struggle to sleep in the light! Overall, I’m. Very happy with my purchase! Just make sure you actually want such a big tent - it is genuinely huge! I’d recommend the tent to anybody who isn’t a big fan of camping - the tent is easy to assemble and easy to live in; it feels like a much more luxurious experience compared to my old 4 man tent! I can’t wait for our holiday to Devon now!
