Coleman Sundome® 3-Person Camping Tent

So far, so good. I'm sure what I've done was not what you all planned for this tent, but you might be interested. I wanted to go “boat camping” with my 16' fishing boat. I've modified your tent to fit over the boat's main cockpit area. I cut away the floor and inverted the flaps of the floor to snap to the boat's side decks. I extended the rain fly by about 30” to extend over the boat's windshield to divert any rain water foreword. I'll sleep on the floor of the boat on an air mattress. It won't be mosquito proof, but will hopefully keep the rain off, especially at night. I can send you a photo but I don't see a way to do it with this review.

This was our first camping trip ever, and the Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent impressed us in all the ways that mattered. We faced multiple days of inclement weather, including heavy rain and strong winds. On the first night, a small amount of water came in through the bottom vent during the downpour, but otherwise we stayed dry. By the second night, the wind picked up enough to test the structure of the tent, and it still held up. We had one adult and two teenage boys inside, each with sleeping pads, bags, and backpacks, and we had more than enough room to move comfortably. It's a very spacious and breathable tent, especially for beginners. Setup took us closer to an hour, but this was our very first time ever pitching a tent. Once assembled, it felt sturdy, but I would strongly recommend reinforcing your stakes after any rough weather. It's a smart extra step to keep things secure in case more storms roll in. The only drawback we encountered was a surprising number of bugs trapped between the roof and rainfly—visible from inside the tent. It didn't affect us during the night, but it was definitely unsettling in the morning. Overall, the Coleman Sundome delivered where it counts. It's a solid choice for first-time campers and families looking for space, comfort, and solid protection from the elements.
