Coleman Dark Room Sundome 6 Review

If you like to be comfortable in cold weather, the thick canvas walls and the designated fireproofed hole for a stovepipe set this tent apart from the rest. Although there’s only one door, the Habitude has an extra-large vestibule and ozark trail 4 person dome tent comes with an integrated “porch light,” which makes it much easier to get in and out in the dark. Because of this, the Coleman 6 Person Cabin Tent is a better choice for hot weather camping when there’s only light rain in the forecast.

The tent for backpacking has to be one thing above all else – light. There’s a reason nearly every tent uses the same type of fly – that’s what works. It also has a bathtub floor, which is more effective at keeping out water than a simple ground cloth. Read our full guide to thebest camping canopies and sunshades. The CORE has no real vestibules, but a lot of interior space and a superior organizational pocket system that makes sense for large groups.

This is an amazing feature, especially for tech junkies who can’t go a weekend without juicing their devices. Setting up the tent will be easier if the ground is free of rocks. This tent weighs coleman 6 person tent 16 pounds, so it’s not the most portable option. We recommend considering the Coleman Tent Kit as well, which comes with extra durable tent stakes and a mallet to help with an easy setup.

But at Coleman’s site they claim the tent can withstand winds up to 35 mph. Seasons-wise & climate-wise, in view of so much mesh around, this tent is best suited for warm weather camping or maximum for two seasons . Though the windows and the inner door are indeed with panels so you can close them all to preserve warmth if it is chilly outside.

The generous use of mesh and partial rainfly make for a tent that ventilates very well in hot weather. I’ve been camping since I was a kid and enjoy spending time in the great outdoors. I share my knowledge here at Tents n Trees with the hope of making it easier for families to get out, go camping, and grow closer.

It also has a lot of storage pockets and a lantern pocket that will diffuse the light from a headlamp or flashlight. The main types of storage pockets are wall pockets and gear lofts. They keep your most important items close at hand and prevent them from disappearing into sleeping bags and camp mattresses. This is especially important if you’re camping with your family.

Weighing in at 16 pounds 10 ounces, the Sundome 6 is easy to haul from the car to the campsite and store when not in use. For carrying, the included rectangular bag for the Sundome is simple in nature, but the full-length zipper and well-placed handles get the job done. We would have loved to see internal dividers like those found on the REI Kingdom bags, but those likely would have raised the price of the Coleman.

Like conjuring up something from The Matrix, you will be transported into another world upon stepping through the door. This is beyond novel for most tents any time after the sun comes up. This tent has a footprint of 10′ x 10′ so there is plenty of room inside the tent for sleeping as well as some extra gear.

The screen room is deep under the porch.The inner room is as you would expect, fully protected from the elements and from insects. So I would describe this tent as a 2-room tent plus the porch, just bear in mind what this all implies. I have included it in my list of best tents with a screen room.
