Coleman Montana 8-Person Camping Tent with Rainfly, Weatherproof Family Tent Sets Up in 15 Mins, Fits Multiple Airbeds

I bought this tent in 2015 and used it every year since. I only threw it away this year but I honestly think I could have made it work a little while longer. I’m just feeling too tired to tent camp these days. So when the tent poles broke this trip (after someone else was “helping” me setup) I just chucked it. I already feel guilty. I honestly can’t think of a negative feature of this tent. We’ve used this tent for countless trips. Some short weekends, some long week trips. From heavy winds and rains to nice sunny days. We only ever got water inside the tent one time. It was our first time setting it up and that night we ended up getting caught in a hurricane. We had made a few mistakes ant setup and once we woke up the next day, dried everything out and fixed our mistakes it never happened again. The rain cover always served us well. When it wasn’t needed, there was plenty of air movement from the 2 side windows, door and top of the tent. Typically, I put it together myself and as my daughter got older she learned to help. It wasn’t “easy” but it was doable. The door was a really great feature especially for the brother who likes to drink by the fire and get up to pee all night or for the 6 year old who just had to go. The entrance was helpful to provide some shelter while you take your shoes off to get inside. We would also tuck our chairs away there overnight so they wouldn’t be wet in the morning. The door having a frame was a convenient feature for kids - you didn’t have to zip it when they ran back inside for their stuffy, you could use the Velcro for a quick fix. Most recently, we fit a king size air mattress which slept 2, another person who is 6’1” alwpt on a sleeping pad, his Great Dane and his bed as well as some fans for circulation. Space was never a problem with this tent. We could hang our lanterns inside for a little light for my daughter. There are pockets for your valuables and flashlights. Not to mention the convenient whole to run power to the tent. I’m trying to give an honest review. I think the only 2 cons about this tent: I couldn’t stand straight up while getting dressed and I’m 5’9” so that was annoying but not a deal breaker for me. The zipper to the door sometimes got stuck but not to the point where you were in a jam. You just go back the other way and it’s fine. Bugs often got caught between the top of the tent and the rain fly, again not a big deal.

I LOVE THIS TENT! It’s sooooo big it feels like glamping haha the top is removable to let the air in and perfect for night sky gazing. I think it’s durable and was a good price when I bought it. It wasn’t too difficult to set up although it would help with two people it’s def doable with one. The whole case also wasn’t heavy once it’s all packed up, and we got it all back into the original case when we were done camping too! It fit a full size thick thick air mattress and a twin size air mattress, we also had room in the middle for a small makeshift table. It was perfect for camping and we can’t wait to use it again soon! I wish I had a better pic but I was busy living it up in the wilderness haha you understand!

I assembled this tent after receiving it so that I could inspect it and apply seam sealer. The tent itself is very good. It has almost everything I wanted in a tent: a tub floor to prevent ground level leaks, a "D" shaped door ("T" shaped doors have a gap where the zippers meet allowing water/critters to get in), a big screen roof for warm summer days. The only thing it was missing was a floor vent, which is available in the "elite" version, but I could not justify the extra expense for what amounts to a vent and a light. This tent does offer some nice extras that were not on my wish list. Those include good headroom almost anywhere in the tent (not just in the center), a slit for running an extension cord (which will be nice to charge phones/GPSs/2-way radios on long car-camping trips), a large awning over the door when the rain fly is on, and a rigid door with velcro. The rigid door will be very nice camping with kids who sometimes struggle with zippers and seem to always need to be reminded to zip the tent back up. My only gripe other than the lack of a floor vent is the fact that the rainfly is huge and difficult to put on unless you have a helper. The tub floor also causes a tripping hazard by the door but that is unavoidable if you want a tub floor so this is not a negative but something people may want to be aware of. I am quite happy with the tent itself and would have easily given it a 4 or 5 star rating. However, one of the poles arrived with some slight damage to the elastic band. Inside the box we had no fewer than 4 sheets of paper telling us not to return the tent if we had problems but instead to call the Coleman 800 number for a resolution. I followed their instructions since the damage was minor. Unfortunately, it was the weekend and the offices were closed. I called back on Monday and reported the information. I then had to wait a day for their warranty department to send me an email. The email requested photographs of my receipt and the damaged parts to verify I was telling the truth about the date of purchase and the problem I reported. I responded promptly and a few days later I received the new poles... however they were too long. The part number of the replacement poles matched the "replacement pole" kit number in the tents instructions so I contacted Coleman again only to learn that they do not stock specific poles and I would have to use the kit to construct my own replacement poles. Since my damage was minor, this was more of an annoyance than anything else. However, if you have a more serious issue like a cracked or missing pole or anything wrong with the tent itself, then I would recommend exchanging the entire tent rather than going through the Coleman warranty department. ** UPDATE ** I just added one star to the review. We took this tent on a two week camping trip. During the trip, we broke down the tent every 2-3 days to move to a new location. Temperatures ranged from the mid 30s in some locations to the mid 80s in others. Despite only being three of us in the tent, it held the heat pretty well in cold locations (seemed to be about 10 degrees warmer in the tent) but the ventilation was still good in warm locations and it did not turn into an oven. We saw strong winds one night and dizzel a few other nights, neither had any effect on the tent. One evening there was a very strong downpour as we were eating dinner. We were in bear country and did not want to take the food in the tent so we ran to the car to finish eating and then wait out the storm. About 45 minutes later, the rains subsided enough for us to return the the tent. I checked the floors and could not find a single drop of water! The pole help up well and we got pretty good at assembling the tent. One evening we pulled into the campsite with a storm bearing down on us (though it ended up just missing us). Two of us got the tent assembled with the rain fly on "good enough" (ie attached to the tent but not tied down) in under 10 minutes. Other nights we took our time and it probably took closer to 20 minutes. The tent itself goes up quick, just stake it down at 8 points, and insert 4 poles. The poles go in pretty easily do no not snag much on the fabric. The rainfly is the putsy part. It is difficult to determine what is the front and the tent is so high that it almost needs two people to put it on. Once on, there 8 bungied clips that are attached to 4 of the tents stake points (2 clips at each point) and a bajillion velcro tabs that attach to the poles. Once all the velcro points are attached then you need to add another pole and then stake down the flaps near the entry. Needless to say, if you know the weather will be nice, skip the rain fly. We ended up missing one of the velcro points one night and as the wind blew the felcro rubbed against the screened roof and frayed it a little. Overall, though I am very pleased with this tent. It was bone dry after a heavy rain, was easy to put up and take down, was comfortable, and has tons of room. It also packs up to a relatively small area despite being such a large tent.

we have enjoyed this tent and are happy with it's quality

I give 4 stars because there is not dividers in the tent. Its nice and big but only one space. I thought it must be inside dividers between the bedrooms and unfortunately NOT. Other than that it's a good quality tent!

とにかく広い。家族5人で一泊分の荷物を置いても全員寝れます。 組立てが難しいという方もみえるようですが、いやいやそんな事はありません。簡単です。2人で10分もかかりません。 持ち運びもコンパクトなので車にも楽々乗せれます。重量は男性なら1人で余裕、女性には少々重いかも知れませんが、そもそもこのサイズのテントを使う時点で1人では無いと思うので、1人で持てない方は2人で持ちましょう。 春〜秋はこのテントで十分。 大晦日から元旦にかけて使用した時は少々寒かったので、対策として厚着して寝袋に入りました。 広いワンルームタイプを探してる人にはオススメです。

This is my first tent, Size is big as described but the quality is bad. Opened up on the day when I arrive the camping site found there are 2 big stains on the front panel and the material below door mesh is broken as show in the pictures. Either it is manufacture faulty or I have got a refurbed tent. (I bought as new) Anyway I am not happy. Customer service is very poor, I have Contacted Amazon US 2 times in last week, no one come back to me.
