What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the tent for its quick, intuitive setup—often taking under a minute—and spacious interior that comfortably fits four people with room to stand and store gear. Many highlight its family-friendly design and portability, calling it ideal for novice campers. However, a significant group reports serious waterproofing failures, describing leaks through walls and seams even with the rainfly installed. Some mention zipper durability issues after minimal use. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the ease of assembly and roomy design worthwhile for casual camping trips.

Good quality tent that’s durable and easy to set u

This is a great little tent for the price. It feels like good quality and it is very easy to set up and take down. The materials seem durable and it held up during our trips. I only camped in mild weather, so cannot attest to the durability during storms. The only downside is that it’s a bit of a tight fit for four people, the space is more suitable for 2-3 people. Overall it is a really nice tent and works well for camping.

So quick and easy to erect.

Would Recommend

I've owned many tents over the past 50 years of camping, and this is, by far, the easiest tent to setup I have ever owned! It literally takes less than a minute to erect by yourself, then you just need to peg the corners and add the cover. Best camping purchase I have made.

"Spacious Cabin Tent with Super Fast Setup - Highly Recommend"

I love that you can set them up solo in under 5 minutes - that's impressive, especially at 47! The pre-attached poles really do make such a difference, and it's smart that you got separate tents for you and your older boys to give everyone their space. A few thoughts based on what you shared: About the height issue: Since you mentioned having back problems and your 5'9" son needing more headroom, it might be worth looking into the larger models (8-person or 10-person cabin tents). These typicall...

It was super easy to set up

LOVE this tent! It was super easy to set up. Taking me about 1-2 minutes tops to complete. I loved the little air vents on the top. I would highly recommend this tent! It's worth the investment for an easy transport and enjoyable camping experience.

It works even better than advertised

It was water resistant and can hold more than 4 people and it was amazing it kept all the heat inside! I recommend this product It was also incredibly easy to set up and it’s very easy to bring around so it’s very portable and could fit into our small car

Love it but froze

I loved this tent and very spacious in my opinion but is not great in cold weather. If not for the really cold weather it would have got 5 stars.

Spacious but wet

I got this tent for myself earlier this year, I had seen the negative reviews on the leaking but decided to ignore them. The tent is definitely meant for dry weather because unfortunately those reviews are true. Water will enter the tent and you will be cold and wet, and so will all your belongings inside. Check the weather before you use it. It does make a great summer tent and a perfect size for one person with an inflatable mattress, so I will mostly be using it in the dry seasons.

Easy set up and tear down.

I got this tent last year for campouts as my son had joined Cubscouts. We’ve now used it probably 6-8 times since then and it has held up well. The set up and tear down is so easy! We woke up at 7:30 am today and I had everything packed up and loaded in the car by 8am. That includes rolling sleeping bag, putting away air mattress, packing up clothes and lugging everything to the car too. I like it so much I’m on the hunt for a bigger option just like it.

Good tent for small families.

We used this camping as a family of 4. It was such a great size for us and had plenty of room. It was a bit windy where were and the tent held up quite well, although there was a bit of moisture that came through. I feel the pit shell needs to be a bit more durable. All in all it was good for our short trip away.

I love this tent, it’s super quick and easy to set up, you can do it by yourself! And taking it down is just as simple. Hasn’t leaked during some rainy nights either!

Good product with reasonable price

Its great and suitable for couple not for 4 people as advertised. The inside room will fit for a double mattress and have a little bit of room left to store clothes and other belongings. Overall, this is 7/10 , the material is good and budget items if buy when its on sale. The package is not too heavy which can keep in a small car and another good thing is quick to set up even one person can take 5-10 mins to complete the whole set up. The material is not a good idea for heavy rain but generally...

Easy, convenient, Family fun

This instant setup tent is amazing and beyond convenient for a family of 3 when you don’t want to take hours on setting up a campsite and to spend more of that time having fun and by the campfire! When in the tent it is weather resistant and can handle rain storms and decently heavy winds! The ventilation flaps make it convenient when it comes to getting in air and feeling the breeze on hot summer days! Highly recommended

Great Tent for Quick and Easy Camping!

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up this Coleman 4-Person Instant Tent! As a mom setting it up with my 8-year-old, I was a bit nervous about doing it on my own, but it truly lived up to the "instant" name. It popped up effortlessly in just a couple of minutes—no complicated poles or confusing instructions. My child was even able to help, which made it a fun and stress-free process! Taking it down took a little more time, but it was still very manageable. Folding it back up n...
