Coleman Skylodge™ 8-Person Instant Camping Tent, Blackberry

This tent is super easy to put up and take down. There is plenty of room for realistically up to 4 persons. The optional room divider makes this even nicer. What sold me on this tent are the large windows and 4 way ventilation. It also has the option of having one half of the tent be a screened in porch. The only change I would make for this tent is to make the door a D style door, although the zippers work better than any tent the I have ever had. I love that you can just pull on the windows and they open. The door will do that if you first open it part way. Overall I am very pleased with this tent.

This tent lived up to its description of being easy to put up -- I did so on my own for my kid's Cub Scout camping trip and didn't have to ask another family to help me, which was my goal. Plenty of space for an adult and a child or two adults; I think 3-4 grownups would be a tight squeeze. These aren't complaints, just things to be aware of: this tent is heavier than I anticipated. Fine for car camping, but you're not going to want to carry it very far. But it's not marketed as a light tent that you can carry in a backpack. Second: take your time rolling it back up. If you try to just ball everything up without paying attention to what you're doing, you'll end up with an unwieldy mess. Smooth out the canvas, press as much air out of it as possible, and that'll help you be able to get it back in the car at the end of your trip.
