Hello! I am using the Coleman Instant 4-Person Tent for me and my family. I love the instant set-up feature, can easily move it when on camping road-trip and have more time to relax with my family.

Coleman tents are the best. I have several tents but I always bring my Coleman whenever I go camping for a metal detecting gig. Camping and metal detecting is more fun when your shelter is prepared for the weather. If youre also like me who is into metal detecting, I recommend you visit this website and check out their metal detector reviews.

I currently bought https://www.jeepsareus.com/sku/82209878.html and this is on its way now. I feel like I would use this if I'm alone and it feels like my tenant would have an extension which is my truck. Can't wait to use this. But for family trips what we use is 6 person dome net from Coleman.

Normally I use a eureka 9x9 dome for quickie weekenders; because of the ease of setup/breakdown..

For more extended camping I use an allegedly (the chinese can't measure) 10x10 canopy holding up an (allegedly 10x10; closer to 9.5x9.5) Standing Room tent;

Its currently my favorite, due to its interior room and head height, but does take more effort to set up and breakdown...

Enjoy!

What kind of tent do you use when you're camping?

I currently use Coleman's cabin style instant tent but I am thinking about switching over to something smaller.

My wife and I switch between 2 tents. One is 20+ year old 6 person tent and the other is a quick setup Ozark Trail 2 person tent. The 20+ year old tent is preferred for space, but the 2 person tent we sometimes use for a quick setup. Both tents are NOT waterproof, but we do a pretty good job keeping all rain water out of the tents with tarps draped over and under the tents. I will get off work on a Friday night and get to campsite at 10pm and use the quick setup tent. Wake up the next day take down quicksetup tent and put up the 6 person tent that takes much more time to setup. We like to use both tents for flexibility.

I am thinking about getting a bigger tent that I can fit two Cots in plus some space, but now this is the setup we have so far.

I use a tent like the CLAM Quick-Set Pavilion 12.5 x 12.5, I like that it is easy to assemble and good protection from insects. Also we can sit freely in it for six of us. I found it based on a recommendation from Must-Have RV Accessories - RV Camp Gear

Canvas wall tent with a wood stove, 18 foot tipi, Cabela's 4 man dome, Sierra Designs small dome backpacking tent, and an 8 x 6.5 foot Kodiak canvas tent.

I'm a canvas kinda camper, myself. That wall tent with a wood stove (think cozy evenings!) is pure Alaskan bliss. Sure, it's heavy, but car camping lets you embrace the lodge vibes. Tipi tents are awesome too, but hauling poles for an 18-footer? No thanks. My vote goes for canvas comfort!

Nothing matches the comfort of canvas and a wood stove, however, a BIG tarp to keep that canvas dry is a GOOD thing. A real consideration here in the Pacific Northwest during the wet-season.

My wall tent is almost 45 years old. I have camped in it in blizzards, big thunderstorms and 5 days of solid rain. I have lived in it for a month. Not once has it ever leaked or let me down. I have never used a tarp over it.
