Coleman  Evanston Screened 6-Person Tent

This tent kept us dry during heavy rain and snow and held up against 30mph wind gusts like a champ! After the first two set ups, assembly has been a breeze! It takes us about 20 minutes total including laying out the tarp to go underneath. This is a very spacious tent. With the 6 person there’s plenty of room for my husband and I, our dog, queen mattress, table, chairs, cooler, and multiple bags. Last camping trip we had ants on our rain fly, but they never made it inside our tent! Did a great job of keeping out mosquitoes as well. It can be a little difficult fitting the tent back in the bag, but if you’re really diligent about folding it up neatly to the size of the poles, then it will fit no problem!

Bought this for my family of 4. Fits two single self inflatable mattresses and well as a queen inflatable with some room for storage. Well ventilated, and while it can be put up with one person, two make it so much more easy. We've spent a total of 4 three day stays in it. So far it's holding up just fine. We camped in the Okefenokee in GA, and ended up getting .75 inch of rain in a little over an hour. It really came down. Inside stayed bone dry. Don't let the covered canopy fool you. While it keeps the bugs up and provides a nice place to sit, it offers no real rain protection (to be fair its not advertised that it does.) Perfect starter tent for a family. We love ours.

I've had my Evenston for 10 years and it has been in every climate! LOVE it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We took this tent to the UP of Michigan. We had some pretty bad weather. The temp at night dropped to 39°F. We had 4 people in the tent and stayed plenty warm. It also rained, and there were high winds. The tent remained dry inside, and I was never worried about the tent collapsing or blowing away in the wind. We didn't even have the tie downs staked up, which would have made it a lot stronger. Definitely didnt need it. Buy this tent. Its a great tent. The screened area will get wet. But thats okay because there is a nice mesh drain in the floor by the entrance. If that bothers you a lot, get the dome tent without the screen.

I bought this tent to go camping with my four-year-old grandson to Myrtle Beach. I only had a queen size mattress which had to be centered in the main part of a tent. Due to the angle of the side walls, it was hard to get around the mattress. I have recently bought two single cots to use against the side walls. This allows more room to move about the main cabin. I was rather disappointed find that Coleman, being the tent manufacturer they are, neglected to put a pass-through for an electric cord. I guess it must be time to go solar. We did not get caught in any rain, so far, but thanks to everyone for the warning, I'll be sure to take a tarp with me next time.

I first used this tent in the Adirondacks with mixed weather conditions. The main room of the tent stayed dry in steady rain and fog. The screen porch area could be really nice and could have multiple uses only if the was fly was removable and big enough to cover it (I used a tarp.) Without the tarp, the rain would collect and “puddle” on the screen area floor. With the temps into the low 40’s, my buddy heater did a great job keeping the tent warm with plenty of ventilation. I was also surprised how well it held up to wind. Overall this tent is great and very comfortable and I can deal with taking a tarp for not so nice weather to use for the screen room.

I love this tent! I’ve had it for years now and it’s held up well against so much. Lots of rain and wind and I never felt worried or had any leaks. It’s easy to carry around and gets good air with the screen placement. It is hard to set up unless you have at least 2 people, but I’m really short so I always struggle

Decent family tent. Sleeps 4 very comfortably with room to spare. Have only tested it in the backyard but have set it up and broken it down twice. Setup is easy enough as a one person operation. Second person is nice to have just to make sure the poles are staying where you want them, but not required

On one camping trip last year, we had one day when it poured rain all day. The only place where we had a few drops of water was where we had hung a power cord on the side of the tent. The next day, we had continuous 25-35MPH wind. While the tent moved constantly, it stayed fixed and secure. The vestibule is the perfect place to keep wet and dirty items although it did turn into a bit of a lake during the rain storm. We're very happy with this tent!

I really like the tent. It keep you dry when it rains hard. Plenty of room. the only thing that I'm disappointed about is no rain fly for the screen room. It rain in the screen room then you track the water into the main part of the tent. I have camped in the Adirondacks Mountains and Prince William Forrest in VA both times pouring down rain kept dry except the screen room.
