"it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. ... If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great."

"we bought one and it's fabulous ... we enjoy the extra sleep in ... My dark rest tent does not let any light in whatsoever except a few specks where the zippers are"
"My kids struggled to stay asleep in our bright tent, and have no issues in this one. Very worthwhile."
"If you have ever woken up at 5:00 with a campground hangover because the sun was shining on the tent and making it around 90 degrees inside you will appreciate the dark tent technology."

"The one feature that I LOVE and this one doesn't have is the hinged swinging door. It's a huge game changer for kids going in and out of the tent non stop."

"When you put the rain cover on top it blocks all of the openings leaving very little air flow. ... When it is hot at night it’s pretty miserable in there. ... The only thing you can unzip is the front door to the porch and if it rains that night congrats you are hot AND wet."
"in the summer when it’s hot it sucks because there are no windows. ... I have to lift a corner of the cover off to sleep comfortably"

"Also, good luck trying to put it in the bag."
Same here and we can finally sleep in past sunrise with the kid. It’s also been through 2 storms and held up well.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->This is a great tent, we have used it during a car camping with a total of 5 people and recently for 2 people. It is nice and roomy! It was raining the first time we used it and it held up well. Can take 20-30 minutes to set up- 2 people. We brought a fan (Makita brand) with a battery cuz we are in Texas but pretty happy with this tent.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->We have the size down of this tent. I mostly love it but in the summer when it’s hot it sucks because there are no windows. I have to lift a corner of the cover off to sleep comfortably
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->My wife and I have this tent. Very good.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->That particular size. We put a queen size cot in it.

r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->I just bought this tent, I didn’t realize that most of the top side is mesh, was that an issue for you during night time. I’m worried it’ll be too cold
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->Personally I think this size is perfect for 4 people with a little extra room. Any time they list for X number person tent, they literally mean packed in side by side like sardines so never believe you can put 10 people in there comfortably. And you got it for a great price. Just keep in mind with a larger tent that your campsite can accommodate it.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->It’s requires more time and 1+ people to assemble and disassemble. Also, good luck trying to put it in the bag.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->My new Coleman is very watertight for now. The tarp idea can work, but when it's raining heavily, it's often also windy. And then the tarp slaps against your tent and is loud AF. I had to do this with my old tent and it took me a few nights to figure out a system with a lot of heavy stones, extra pegs and ropes to tie it down well enough. If the tarp is not big enough to go all the way to the ground and you can put heavy stuff on it, it will not really work well.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->Score! This tent should serve every purpose you want it to. Happy camping!
