6-Person Cabin Camping Tent with Enclosed Weatherproof Screen Room

The packed size is small enough that you don’t need to worry about it filling up your trunk. If you’re worried about the zipper getting caught, it is worth noting that Coleman offers a 6 person Elite version of this basic dome tent which comes with a hinged door. This is because these Coleman tents come with a small rain fly that protects the interior of the tent in case of light showers. However, it’s too short and doesn’t cover the whole body of the Sundome.

Coleman also offers the Sundome 4, which we think is ideal for two campers and a dog. With enough floor area to fit two queen-sized mattresses, 6 feet of headroom at the center, and good ventilation, it checks many of the boxes that people are looking for in a tent. It’s not the most weather-worthy or well-built design, but it’s an excellent value for what you get. To see how it stacks up against the competition, see our article on the best camping tents. Last but not least, Coleman offers another intriguing budget option in their Montana tent. Stacked up against the Sundome, the Montana 6P is smaller with 84 square feet of floor area, shorter with a 68-inch peak height, and costs a little more at $117.

One of the extra features of this tent we loves was the expandable carry bag. The simple two-pole design and guy lines offer enough protection in mild winds. The taller height of the 6-person tent body means that it is more vulnerable to harsh winds than the smaller models. Even when the weather gets a little challenging, the WeatherTec System will keep the interior dry and comfortable.

The tent has large windows and vents on the built-in rainfly which provide a lot of areas for the air to flow in and out of the tent. However, because of the thick fabric, there ozark trail 4 person dome tent might not be much air coming through. The built-in rainfly is an interesting add-on as you don’t have to spend extra time pulling a separate rainfly over to cover the tent.
