Set up camp with confidence using Coleman’s durable, easy-pitch tents. Features WeatherTec™ sealed floors, dark-room technology, and spacious layouts. Perfect for family trips, festivals, and backpacking!
Coleman is arguably the most recognized name in family camping. Founded in 1900, their tents are designed with a clear focus: providing affordable, user-friendly, and reliable shelter for casual and family campers. You won’t find ultralight mountaineering tents here; instead, you’ll find spacious, feature-rich tents that make car camping comfortable and accessible for everyone.
Coleman has developed several proprietary technologies to address common camping complaints like weather protection and setup difficulty.
WeatherTec System: This is Coleman’s flagship weather protection technology. It includes:
Taped Seams: Critical for preventing leaks at stitch lines.
Waterproof Floors: Made of thick, tub-style floors that are welded and inverted seams to keep water out from the ground up.
Protected Seams: Zipper covers and awning-style windows to shield entry points from rain.
Anti-Wicking Tent Fabric: Prevents rain from being drawn along threads into the tent.
Instant Up / FastPitch Design: A game-changer for family camping. These tents use pre-attached poles that simply unfold and lock into place. Setup times are advertised as 60 seconds or less, eliminating the traditional frustration of threading poles.
Dark Room Technology: A highly popular feature that blocks 90% of sunlight (compared to a typical tent). This allows you to:
Sleep in later in the morning.
Keep the tent cooler in direct sunlight.
Enjoy more privacy.






Coleman's patented system includes welded floors and inverted seams to block water. Coupled with weather-resistant fabrics and a strong frame, it's designed to keep you dry in challenging conditions.
Many Coleman tents feature color-coded poles and continuous pole sleeves, simplifying the setup process. The goal is to have your shelter ready in minutes, reducing frustration after a long day of travel.
Select models incorporate special fabrics that block up to 90% of sunlight. This technology keeps the tent interior darker and cooler in the morning, promoting longer, more restful sleep.
With designs offering roomy floors, steep walls, and high peaks, Coleman tents provide ample living and storage space. This ensures comfort for the whole family and their gear.
Strategic mesh panels and adjustable ground vents promote cross-ventilation, reducing interior condensation and maintaining a comfortable atmosphere, even on warm, still nights.
Coleman delivers reliable, feature-rich tents at an accessible price point. With over a century of outdoor heritage, the brand is trusted by generations of campers for quality and durability.
This number refers to the maximum capacity if everyone is sleeping side-by-side on sleeping pads, with no gear inside. We highly recommend sizing up for comfort. A 4-person tent is often ideal for 2 people and their gear, while a 6-person tent is comfortable for a family of 4.
Sundome: Our classic, best-selling, value-packed dome tent. Known for its simple setup and reliability.
Skydome: A newer design with 20% more headroom and a wider door for easier entry/exit. It also packs down smaller and sets up faster than the Sundome.
Dark Room™: Our premium technology tent. Special fabric blocks up to 90% of sunlight, allowing you to sleep longer and cooler in the morning. It also helps keep the interior cooler during the day.
Yes, all Coleman tents feature the WeatherTec™ system, which is designed to keep you dry. This includes:
Protected Seams: Welted, inverted seams that keep water out.
Waterproof Floors: Bathtub-style floors with corner welts.
Weather-Resistant Fabrics: Coated polyester and rainfly.
A tent’s ability to keep you dry also depends on proper setup and seam sealing (see below).
Coleman tents are designed for easy setup, often by one or two people in 10-15 minutes. We use color-coded poles and continuous pole sleeves to make the process intuitive. We strongly recommend doing a practice setup in your backyard before you go camping.
Our Instant Up tents have pre-attached poles. You literally just unfold the tent, extend the poles until they lock, and you’re done. These can be set up in as little as 60 seconds.
While our tents have protected seams, for the best possible waterproofing in heavy or prolonged rain, we highly recommend applying a seam sealer to the rainfly and tent seams. This is an extra step that can make a big difference in severe weather.
Dark Room™ technology is a special coating on the tent fabric that blocks up to 90% of sunlight and reduces heat. This allows you to sleep past sunrise, keep the tent cooler on hot days, and provides more privacy.
Yes, the majority of our tents feature fine mesh on windows and doors to keep bugs out while providing excellent ventilation.
