But, don’t worry; the Quechua has all the features you could hope for, like a flysheet and mechanical ventilation. The first two layers reflect the sunlight, the third layer absorbs the light, and the last layer helps reduce the tent’s heat on a hot summer day. The Coleman Sundome has a spacious interior that is perfect for your trip. The max occupancy is six people, but I prefer more room to sleep comfortably during these trips.

The Quechua tent’s creators have tested it in some of the strongest conditions, like 30 mph winds. There will be no worrying about whether this tent can hold up to the nature around you. Coleman Mosedale 5 is a spacious family tent with 2 bedrooms and a large daylight flooded living area, with enough space to setup a table and chairs and keep yourself and your gear sheltered from rain.The enormous screen room is typically a part of the sleeping area. There’s an option to close off the sleeping area from the rest of the screen room if needed. The flysheet on the Quechua works like magic, too! You can lift this sheet by rope from the inside, allowing for fantastic circulation. It almost felt like I had A/C! One of the biggest complaints I’ve seen about this car camping tent is the price. You get what you pay for, and it’s worth the money. Even on the hottest days, it felt around 10 degrees cooler inside! Not only this but the sleeping room is also split up into two sections, which is perfect for separating a kids and adults section! Instant tents are fantastic for beginners, but they’re also perfect for a busy family. This one can also host up to two blowup air mattresses, sleeping up to six people.

Too soon to say how it handles in wind and rain. My guess (from 40 years of experience) is that it will handle rain well and moderate/fairly strong winds - I wouldn't like to chance a gale in an exposed place! But pretty sturdy (don't be put off though!). If you're traveling in a large group (or just want more interior room), the octagon is big enough for everyone and their luggage. These are fiberglass poles, so it’s best to be careful when setting them up because they can be fragile. Zip stops – You will find a bright yellow tab on all of the tents zips, marking the point where the zips will always be when they are closed. This feature is perfect for finding your way out of the tent in the dark, in a rush of if you are a child.We got the tent up between rain showers and then the wet weather finally left us in peace to enjoy the tent and our wonderful surroundings. First priority was to get a coffee on the go, so as we were camping without an EHU, out came the gas stove and the kettle for our caffeine fix. Fire retardant fly-sheet will self-extinguish if exposed to flame and will not flare dangerously out of control But I’ve encountered an aspect of this one that could be better. The tent has leaked on multiple occasions for me.

Offering SPF 50 protection from the sun’s rays, the Kentmere Valley 3 Plus is treated with Coleman’s UVGuard™ technology. For added peace of mind, all fabrics are fire retardant. It’s extremely lightweight, affordable, and sets up in just seconds. The only thing that it might not be is the perfect ‘family tent.’ The spacious interior works fine if I’m only camping with one other person. It’s cheap enough to buy multiple, too, if you have numerous family members and you want some room to spread out. It’s hard to find a cheap instant cabin that is also high quality while weighing so little. This tent comes in different sizes. The Vango 300 is my favorite and only weighs 6.3 pounds! This tent works well for large groups, but the skylights let in more sunlight than other models on this list.The other darkest tents on the market don’t even compare to the Quechua. It’s truly a fantastic piece of technology that’s perfect for almost all scenarios that I’ve come across. Whether you are using your tent in hot weather or rain storms, ventilation is key to staying dry inside. Even if your tent is completely waterproof, condensation build-up on the inner walls can soak your sleeping bag through the night if you don’t have adequate ventilation. As we mentioned, we will review quite a few Coleman tent models on this list. The Carlsbad tent is an excellent option for families of four, although we recommend it if your children are relatively small. Although the tent is spacious, it can feel a bit cramped if you try to fit four adults inside. Since this tent might work great for just two or three people, you might want to upgrade to the Quechua model instead. If you’re looking for a larger family tent, the Coleman Oak Canyon 4 Person Tent is a little roomier or the Coleman Instant 10 Person Cabin tent will guarantee a fit.
