Coleman 10-Person Cabin Tent Review | Instant Setup

The Coleman Cabin 10 Person Tent with Instant Setup is a lightweight tent that pops up instantly to guarantee easy and carefree camping. It is a tent for fast cruising, allowing a camper to have a tent up in under a minute, and for people in a hurry. Not the biggest or strongest in the gang, but an easy, no-fuss type of fast camping for short periods or backyard camping.

Features of the Coleman 10-Person Cabin Tent

  • Instant Setup: As expected, the most significant perk of this particular Coleman Cabin Tent is instant setup. There is no time wasted on fiddling with poles and fabric. Take it out of the bag, lift, click, and it’s ready to be used. It sets up in under a minute!
  • Generous Area Design: It is rated for 10, but 56 sq. feet can fit comfortably two-three people. A bit cramped for luckier four adults, but ideal for a small family or couple who would like some privacy. 
  • Extra-sized Windows and Vents: This Coleman 4-Person Cabin Tent comes with three huge windows and well-placed ceiling vents for proper aeration. Large windows promise great views while vents guarantee the entry of cool breezes during hot spells.
  • Easy Access Storage: You will have two organizers inside the tent for items to keep it tidy and organized. Great for small things like phones, flashlights and keys.

Interior Space

Although the pitch is labeled as a tent for four persons, it is most comfortable for up to three. With a floor space of 56 square feet, it suits small groups such as families. Four adults could squeeze into it, but it would be quite comfortable for two to three. The height is a respectable 47.24 inches–good enough to sit in comfortably, but most likely not tall enough for standing completely for most individuals.

Weather Protection

The Coleman Cabin Tent is a tent that can accommodate camping in a total of four seasons. Therefore, it could also suit a good number of weather conditions on the whole. This 150D polyester is fine for just a little to mild rains, while the walls are sealed at the seams to help seal the tent against the entrance of rain. A tub floor keeps moisture out and maintains a dry interior from a light to moderately heavy rain. Still, it’s not the greatest tent when it comes to extreme conditions, like heavy storms or winds.

Storage and Organization

Storage and Organization

Two pockets inside the tent are for stowing smaller things, such as phones, keys, and flashlights. Keeping such items close is more convenient this way instead of storing them in a larger bag. On the other hand, the tent has no additional storage above and beyond these pockets–no vestibule, no room divider. So you will have to leave any excess gear for outside your tent or in your vehicle when you require some extra space.  

Setup and takedown 

It has an instant set-up technology that takes less than 60 seconds from the time you pitch. The pop-up design makes it very simple for you because you don’t have to worry about long, hefty poles and complex instructions. Just take it out of the carry bag, lift it, click, and it’s done. Taking it down is equally easy as setting it up, which is an added plus for you to just chuck it in the bag. Weighing 18 lbs, it’s lightweight and easy to carry, which is your friend when you’re car camping.

Build Quality and Durability

The building specification does not fall into a long-lasting category and accepts only moderate weather. Along with this, an extra proofing from seam-sealed units is added to increase protection against water damage. Likely, the bottom material is tub-type, which again adds extra moisture resistance. Because of its lightweight, it is very easy to carry; however, it would not sustain intense weather situations like very heavy winds or continuous rain showers. 

Weight and Packed Size

Loaded with an incredible 18 lbs, this lightweight camp gear can be carried around easily. Best for car camping and quick trips where you do not have to drag the tent around anywhere. The size packed is compact and fits easily into the included carry bag, which can be put away in a space or moved around easily. In terms of weight, it can never be termed as backpacking gear.

What We Like

What We Like
  • Instant Setup: Easy to use: This bedside table can be installed in under one minute.
  • Affordable: Buy and get this Coleman 4-Person Dome Tent at an affordable price today.
  • Ventilation: These large windows and high vents are meant to provide sufficient airflow, keeping the tent cool inside.  
  • Storage Pockets: There are two extra pockets so that any small item inside can be quickly found and accessed by the residents.

The Downsides

  • Cramped for 10 People: The 4-person rating is pretty optimistic. A tent that size would be comfortable for maybe 2-3 people. 
  • Not So Durable in Very Bad Weather: Great tent for mild weather, but no good for torrential downpours or really high winds. 
  • Lacks vestibule or Room Divider: There is no added space to keep items outside the tent, and of course, no divider at all for the sake of privacy.

Pros

  • Great Ventilation: Large windows and ceiling vents offer fantastic air.
  • Storage Pockets: Two pockets organize small stuff

Cons

  • Crowded for 10 people: Better for 4–6 people.
  • Poor Weather Protection: Best for 3 seasons and poor for extreme weather conditions.
  • No Vestibule or Divider. Additional storage space or privacy features are not available.

The Competition

Coleman has also been compared to the big boys of camping tents, such as REI Base Camp 4 and Coleman Sundome tenting with a 4-person tent.

An REI Base Camp: The REI Base Camp is weather-rated better and is good enough for three-season camping, but it does come at a steep price. The extra room and better durability compared to the Coleman Cabin Tent require time to pitch, however. 

Coleman Sundome 10-Person Tent: Budget-friendly and sharing the same specifications as the Coleman 10-Person Cabin Tent, the Coleman Sundome is, once again, quite a worthy alternative. Though the Sundome does provide fantastic weather protection and a slight edge in durability, it lacks that “instant setup” feature that we think is the huge plus of the Coleman 10-Person Cabin tent.

Conclusion 

The present alternative for easy camping setup is the Coleman 10 Person Cabin with Instant Setup. Right from the instant setup to the affordable cost and good ventilation, this tent serves all the features that make it popular among campers opting for easy and comfortable camping. It may not suit larger groups or those looking for more spaces for storage, however. The tent is pretty simple and is easy on the pocket for short-term and car campers as well.
