Coleman Blackberry Skylodge 6-Person Instant Camping Tent

Setup is easy, managed rain fine for us. Windows/screens on all four sides is nice. Would love to see venting pull outs around the bottom for air flow when windows zipped up. As other users have stated, when packaging back up, the floor panel gets stress when polls are folded back in, I'm very careful but a touch more room would ensure long term durability. Foot print and height are great for our car camp needs as we downsized from a 14"×10"

As others have written plastic joints on poles snapped on first use after following instructions for assembly. Do not waste your money.

We’ve always had Coleman tents. Just took this new one on its first outing and it was great!

I haven't used it camping yet, but I did set it up as soon as I got it. It was very simple to set up. It took me a little longer - about 20 minutes, but that was because I read the instructions wrong! I did set it up by myself and took it back down by myself. I was impressed by how easy it was and by how roomy it was inside.

We love this tent, however, after our third night of camping we were packing it up and one of the legs tore through the tent floor.

Works well, nice size but flawed it design. The fabric stretches tightly over the central roof hub when closed up and wears through roof and floor fabric. I have had to put patches in both areas due to holes wearing through floor and roof due to it. These areas need to be reinforced by Coleman.

pros: set up and take down take 3-4 mins max. love that you can see the view when the rain fly is off, tons of ventilation. cons: there aren’t tie downs to spread out the tent fully taking away space from the sides. the bottom looks like the tarp material is stretching when you fold it back up after use.

The second time we put the tent up one of the joints snapped and we were stuck with a broken tent on our camping trip. We had to attach it to a tree in order for it to stay up for the weekend. We’ve owned a Core pop up tent for years and never had this issue.

This tent extremely easy to set up. You can do it by yourself. It is extremely easy to follow the instructions and almost anyone can do it. The tent looks gorgeous when it’s put together and is easy to stake into the ground. It’s extremely easy to disassemble, but it is incredibly hard to figure out how to get it in the bag perfectly. I have an extremely hard time folding it up. I keep getting the tent folded up where it’s bulky on one side and super skinny on the other. If there’s one thing I could change, it would be how to put it back in the bag. You definitely need a tarp underneath your tent, even though it has the tarp lining when folding it up, it is extremely hard to clear all the dirt off of the tent due to how it folds. I got extremely covered in dirt folding this tent and trying to sweep the dirt off so that it wouldn’t make the tent bag extremely dirty but in the end I was dirty. The tent was dirty, and the tent bag was dirty. I also did not realize that the tent bag would be so large. I knew it would be big, but I didn’t realize it would be the size of a pop-up but I guess that makes sense because it resembles a pop-up in installation. It rained a lot on this camping trip. I took it on and we did stay dry. They do wish the rain fly came out a little bit over on the sides more allowing for less rain to come through the windows. Very spacious on the inside and a lot of headroom. I am 5’7 and I could not touch the highest point in the tent but closer to the door I could scrape my head against. There were three of us staying in this tent with two large dogs. For this trip, we chose three large cots from which took out a large amount of space in the tent, allowing just for the room for the dogs to lay down on the ground.

Bought last year but my family decided to go glamping. Going to use for the first time next week - practiced setting up in backyard and it was a breeze except for rain fly, rake down/folding up was difficult and I was afraid I was going to break the poles.
