Coleman Montana Camping Tent, 6/8 Person Family Tent with Included Rainfly, Carry Bag, and Spacious Interior, Fits Multiple Queen Airbeds and Sets Up in 15 Minutes

Great for first time campers
This is the first family tent that I’ve bought other than a backyard pop-up.Size: it fits four people well with air mattresses at either end. I can see fitting 6 people in a row lengthwise, but it’s hard to see how 8 people could fit unless no one used air mattresses and you were side by side like sardines.Interior space: The center has a good amount of head space, if you put the sleeping bags at either end, it makes a comfortable space. There is a side pocket on either end to store things and a light hook at each end and in the center.The zip opening for an electric cord is handing, although it would be nice to have one on the other side as you either have to orient the tent towards the outlet or have a long extension cord. I really like the structure to the door.Set up and take down: it’s easy to put up once you know where everything goes. There were a couple of steps on the instructions that were a little confusing, basically everything connects to the silver rings. Once you understand that, it’s easy.The take down only takes about 5 minutes. The hard part is folding it to get back in the case. The first time we used it, I was able to get the tent back into the case, but there is no way the rain fly was going back in. The second time, I couldn’t even get the tent in and zipped. There must be a trick to getting all the air out and it flat enough, but I haven’t figured it out yet.Weathering the elements: We’ve used this twice. The first time, it stood up under very windy conditions. The tents of people around us were collapsing, but this little tent held up to the winds. We haven’t used it in rain yet.Edited May 2018: We took this out on a trip in some Houston rains and I didn’t notice any leaking at all. Packing up, I asked another camper the trick to getting a tent rolled up tight enough to get it back in the case.The trick is the tent poles.Lay down your tent pole bag at the end of the tent and fold the tent in thirds so that the folded tent is no wider than the tent pole bag.Then place your pole bag at the end of the tent and begin to slowly roll up the tent, allowing the weight of the poles to push the air out of the tent. The experienced camper told me it was important to go slow and not force the air out or it could damage the tent.Since the tent is a rectangular dome, there will be more tent in the center, so you have to be sure to keep folding in the extra as you roll up to it.The trick is when you come to the other end. Since it has a tub bottom, all the air will be pushed ballooning up that waterproof (and airproof) area. There will be no place for the air to escape.To get the last bit of air out, roll back the end you’ve been rolling over the stakes until you come to the end wall window. Next roll up the end you’ve been trying to reach, which is ballooned up.So the pole end is just unrolled to the window and the opposite end is rolling TO the window, pushing out all the trapped air. Unroll the end with the poles to the opposite end again. If there is still too much air, repeat until the whole thing will roll flat. I had to do this three times, but in the end everything fit.I was able to fit everything back into the case completely with room to spare.

Kept us dry through Ga tornado weather
I’ve used lots of tents over the years, going all the way back to the old canvas ones. This tent has held up really well through two severe weather trips so far and that’s enough to get a good review from me.We camped 5 nights, 4th of July weekend, and it rained most of the time. By week’s end, we were praising this tent. We stayed damp or wet all week, but not because of the tent. It held up really well, against not only torrential rain, but Georgia tornado weather. The wind was probably gusting around 50-60+ mph at one point…bad enough to yank our 10×10 canopy up and twist the frame like a pretzel, but the modified dome shape of this tent held up without any problems; just shook a lot. I agree with the comment about the door zipper though…it does tend to get hard to zip at about the half-way point and I worry about that ripping one day.My wife and I had plenty of room and decent headroom too. I wouldn’t expect to put 6 people in there unless you line them up like sardines maybe…more like decent room for 2 adults and 2 kids.My favorite part of the tent is the fly/vestibule area. It give an additional barrier zone from the rain and is a pretty good place for shoes, when it’s not raining sideways.Overall, it’s a great tent; especially for the price.Small warning: it’s not hard to set up if you know what you’re doing, but don’t make the mistake of learning that in the rain. It’s not easy like a dome tent. You will need the instructions…but they won’t tell you that one of the black poles is shorter than the other two. It is for the fly and if you’re in a hurry to set up, that can really slow you down.
