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

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.

Edited, added a star. Well what can I say.This tent is awesome, it's so freaking big which is awesome for hanging out in and not having to bend while inside.It's big enough to put a day bed, two armchairs a small sofa and a coffee table, with room to walk around.One person could easily live in it during the summer.The only downfall there is, is that the built in ground sheet is easily damaged, it could do with being thicker.Id advise getting a big rug or blanket to put over it to save it being torn.Edit- this tent has been up for at least 5 months now, it's survived heavy rainfall, high winds including a big storm where it was shaken and pulled in all directions, it's survived snow and extreme heat. Not once has this tent ripped or been damaged throughout it's time being up. (Apart from issue with built in ground sheet)We got this when it was about half price at £167, but honestly I'd pay full price for this, it's worth it.

We have never been on camping before and while searching for tents online came across this tent on a tempting deal. So here is our review after using the tent on a camping tripPositives1) Very spacious - can easily fit 4 people plus luggage2) Height - you can walkaround inside the tent without any trouble3) Setup - it was easy to setup, instructions were clear and colour coding helped a lot.4) Ventilation - very handy feature in summer time you can just open the curtains let light and air in5) Carry case - the tent is quite heavy so the trolley case it comes with helps to move tent around easilyNegatives1) Putting the tent back into carry case was quite a challenge, you have to plan it carefully in folding the tent and there is an youtube video that you can watch otherwise you will struggle2) Quality - this is a neutral view although i have tried it only once i don't feel too great about the material and i am not sure how long it will last. As i have not used it for long i cannot comment much on it3) No blackout feature - i understand this is not a black out tent but it would have been good if they gave an extra layer or curtain inside. In summer it can be tricky during the night as it doesn't get dark until 10pmOverall i definitely recommend this tent if you are a small family, this is not for 6 people if you are wanting to use this comfortably. We managed to fit a king inflatable bed, a folding table plus our luggage for 4nights with still room to walk around.
