Sleep in past sunrise or put the kids to bed early with the Coleman 4-Person Carlsbad Dark Room Dome Camping Tent with Screen Room.

Title: Easy Set-up & Comfortable
Review: Easy to set-up with two people (even in the dark).Stayed comfortable, dark and warm inside the tent in 30-40 degree weather with the rain fly on. Note that we also used a reflective mat under the tent for extra warmth.Comfortably fit two single cots. However, there was very little room leftover and would not be able to accommodate a third cot or sleeping bag. We also kept our bags in the screened in porch to maximize walking space inside the tent. One con: You cannot store things in the screened in porch if the forecast calls for rain as the screened in porch is not covered by the rain fly.Very easy to take down and store in the carrying case, no tears in the screen or flooring.Overall, we’re happy with the tent and are excited to try in next in the summer.

Title: Easy!
Review: This tent is amazing! I was able to set this up with my ten year old with no problem at all in less than ten minutes (no kidding)! I love how dark it is inside the tent; we even needed a flashlight during the middle of the day. It definitely kept us cool while we slept, and we didn’t get woken up too early because of the sun. I love how you can’t see through the windows from the outside, so you don’t have to worry about people peeping while you’re trying to change. I love the “mud room” area too. Just make sure you don’t leave things in there if it’s going to rain since the rain fly does not cover that area. All in all, this tent is money well spent.

Title: Great tent, but every tent has limitations. Understand this one.
Review: Just for background, I've backpacked and camped on several continents, and while I don't claim to be an expert, I do claim to have some experience when it comes to tents. There are criticisms of this tent, some valid and others not-so-valid that I'd like to address.First, I've seen a few complaints about this tent not being watertight. That shouldn't surprise anyone since there are very few tents with floors that are entirely waterproof off the shelf, and even fewer that are waterproof after a few days/weeks of use. Nearly all tent floors will leak in rain, especially if you're camped in a location that allows water to pool underneath the floor. The water will likely seep through micro-tears in the flooring, and it will certainly seep through seams eventually. The best ways to remain dry when camping in wet weather is 1) choose location that won't have water either running or pooling underneath the tent; 2) expand the rain fly to be as wide as possible, so as to shed water away from the base of the tent; and, 3) bring another liner (e.g., a tarp) to place INSIDE the tent. If you put your tent on top of a tarp, water will collect between the floor and tarp and turn into a puddle, which is exactly what you don't want.After camping with this tent in wet weather conditions for several nights, it performed as expected and I have no complaints.I DO have a mild criticism of the porch area. First, if the rainfly were large enough to cover the porch area, it would be possible to store gear outside the sleeping area. However, since the porch isn't protected from the elements, you can expect anything you put in the porch area to get soaking wet.Moreover, the porch area has a screen on the floor intended to let water drain out. This is a good idea, but it only works if the tent is angled one way (i.e., water flows TOWARD the main tent zipper. Coleman should ALSO have installed a second screen on the floor to let water drain out if the water is flowing away from the main tent zipper. The result is that you're likely to get some puddles in the porch area which, again, could have been mitigated with a larger rainfly or a second screen on the ground.In all this is a great tent for car camping and will serve you for many years. It's comfortable, easy to set up, provides plenty of space, and seems well-made. This would be ideal for people who camp a few times a year, especially car camping. It would be great for families with a few children, and perfect in hot, dry conditions. It would also be great in wet conditions, so long as you select a good site, as you would with any tent.

Title: This tent turned heads!
Review: I spent a fair amount of time shopping and comparing tents before taking the plunge. Videos and reviews and even busting out a tape measure and attempting to visualize this tent all helped. Nothing though compared to actually tacking the tent out of the package and setting it up.The included instructions aren't as clear as they could be, be sure to set it up once at home before fending off bugs and the elements out on your trip. The screened in area is a good size for storing supplies and dirty shoes/gear, the rain fly looks a little unstable and simply rests on top the the main poles, stabilized by it's own shorter pole and ropes, but where it clips onto the corners of the tent feels poorly planned, the fly often slips to one side or the other of the tent poles and can look lop-sided. Have no fear though, it doe's its job well.The windows and ventilation are well designed, with the fly off on a warm clear night, the sky is beautiful while laying down. There is a mesh channel that separates the front screened in area from the main tent, allowing for moisture to travel under the tent rather than into it from the front portion. I found this both helpful and frustrating, I chose a yoga mat as a "welcome" mat that covered this area as the natural moisture from below was problematic. A 10' X 12' tarp is a good thing to lay down first and will fit well under the tent.

Title: Excellent tent!
Review: I bought this tent back in 2020. It’s now 2024, we’ve used it several times and it has proven its worth! We live in the PNW where rain is always possible, and we’ve been sufficiently poured on while camping. This tent, with the fly, definitely keeps you dry, but some water may leak in through the side walls below the fly, and the screen room will most definitely get soaked since it’s not covered. Water has never pooled on the bottom, and you’ll only know the walls are wet from touching it. I really like the Dark Room Technology. Of course it’s not going to block out ALL of the light, this is just a tent after all, but you won’t be waking up with the sun like other tents. This tent is easy to set up and take down. We’re pretty proud of the fact that we’ve never had to remove the stitches in the bag to make it larger! This is the nicest tent we’ve owned and I would recommend it to others.

Review: Superbe tente, qui correspond parfaitement à nos attentes. Par contre 3 bémols.Elle a mit beaucoup de temps pour nous être livrée.Un angle de la toile du dessus est déchiré. La couture n'a pas tenue.Sur le côté droit de la tente, une partie de la toile n'a pas été cousue.Je vais donc devoir m'amuser (ironique) à devoir recoudre tout ça.

Review: Me gustó mucho el diseño y lo práctico de la casa... el espacio interno es muy amplio y cómodo, aunque no bloquea tanto la luz como lo anuncian, pero sí es más oscura que la mayoría de casas de campaña. El espacio en la terraza es muy útil, aunque algo justo. No he tenido oportunidad de probarla bajo la lluvia. la calidad de los tubos, estacas y anclajes es muy buena. Me encantaron las cuerdas de sujeción reflejantes que le dan un toque muy atractivo en la noche.En general estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra.

Review: Love this tent. The dark room is outstanding and really does block out the light. We had rain while camping and it held up great. The screen room is not waterproof, but is a nice feature that I was specifically looking for. Easy set up. Cool colors. Great purchase!

Review: Fast fixing it up but material quite fragile so must handle with care. Tent entrance need to face wind direction to have more cooling effect since there is only one entrance. Awesome space for 6p tent and no regret buying it.
