Coleman Skydome 4-Person Tent, LED
The Coleman Skydome 4-Person Tent with LED Lighting is a compact dome with built-in overhead lights that run on 3 AA batteries you supply. The poles come preattached, and Coleman says it sets up in about 5 minutes. The floor is 8 ft by 7 ft with 4 ft 8 in of center height, and Coleman says it fits one queen-size airbed, which is the honest load for two adults.
Who it suits
- Two adults, or a parent and a couple of kids, on Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas state park weekends.
- A kids’ tent or guest overflow next to the camper or a bigger family tent.
- Campers who want light inside the tent without hanging a lantern from the ceiling.
Not the right tent for
Four adults with gear, since Coleman sizes the floor for one queen airbed. It is also not a backpacking tent at about 11.3 lb, and it has one door, so airflow comes mainly from the door and the mesh in the roof. If you need stand-up room for a family, see the Coleman Skylodge 8-Person Instant Tent.
