good for family camping vacation

This tent was fantastic for family of 5. Comfortable Space for sleeping and Gear. I think it would be very tight for 8 people as advertised). Easy to set-up with 2 people - about 20 minutes. The overhead light never worked from Day One - but it is not necessary. Would be a nice feature. The roll-away windows are great as is the flap door on hinges. Huge asset for kids going in and out a hundred times a day. We have camped in this in the pouring rain - and stayed dry the entire night. Stands and has a very good structure portability is very good

Nice tent!

This is a BIG tent. It has ~2 rooms but the front room in my experience is more a gear stash and not a separate space. It comes well packed with stakes, poles, the tent, a rain fly, and the tent itself. Quality materials. Sturdy construction. Easy assembly. Very roomy. Definitely recommend!

Great protection from outside

This tent I know I have used it to be able to have a place to sleep and they are comfy and spacious. You can use it to camp or like I use to use it or the people I know that live in them.

Top tier

The assembly was a breeze and it durability is top tier. As a Tahoe local, Coleman is a brand I rely on for quality, good value for money, durability and water resistance.

Highly recommend it!

I recently used the Coleman 8-Person Elite Montana Cabin Tent on a weekend camping trip, and I was really impressed. It's super spacious-fit our group of 6 with plenty of room to move around and store gear. Setup was surprisingly easy, even for someone like me who doesn't camp often. The built-in LED lighting was a huge bonus at night, and the hinged door made it feel more like a real cabin. We had light rain one night, and the tent stayed completely dry inside. I also loved how well-ventilated it was. It's sturdy, comfortable, and perfect for family or group camping. Definitely one of the best tents I've used so far.

Coleman 8-Person Elite Montana Cabin Camping Tent

The take down only takes about 5 minutes. The hard part is folding it to get back in the case. The first time we used it, I was able to get the tent back into the case, but there is no way the rain fly was going back in. The second time, I couldn't even get the tent in and zipped. There must be a trick to getting all the air out and it flat enough, but I haven't figured it out yet.

A good tent for a family of four

It claims to accommodate 8 people, but with 2 queen air mattresses, it comfortably fits 4. It's definitely waterproof with the cover on and can be set up in under 15 minutes, making it very convenient

Love it!

Used this tent for years, multipletimesa year. Definitely a three season tent because the ceiling is mesh and plenty breezy (great for summer). It never leaked, and I loved that the door poles make it open like a door instead of the usual door flap on most tents. Hard to set up without help, but not impossible. Sadly it gave up the ghost, but I'll be buying it again so I'm glad it comes with lighting now.

Great tent for the money good quality too

So far, this tent has lasted 5 trips including camping 3 days in windy Wyoming, and a severe thunderstorm in Colorado. Experience camping that accommodates the whole family with the Montana 8-Person Cabin Camping Tent from Coleman. This durable tent fits 8 people and offers ample sleeping space for the whole family. The tent is designed to keep you dry with a WeatherTec system that features a tub floor with corner welds, inverted seams, and a covered zipper to help keep water out. A door awning creates a dry space to store gear and enter the tent, while storage pockets keep small items organized. Angled windows can stay open during rainy weather by keeping the water out while allowing for extra air circulation. The hinged door makes entering and exiting easy, while the E-Port makes it simple to bring electrical power inside. This tent is designed with a strong frame that withstands 35-plus mph winds and durable Polyguard fabric that will last season after season. It sets up easily in about 15 minutes thanks to snag-free continuous pole sleeves and a patented pin-and-ring system. Once the trip is finished, pack up the tent in the included carry bag for easy storage and transportation. Feel at home wherever the adventure takes you with the Montana 8-Person Cabin Camping Tent from Coleman.

Love it!

We have had this tent for several years. It has held up well to multiple uses per year. On our last trip, we did notice a tiny bit of leaking in the rainfly at the seams and plan to treat the seems before our next trip. However, we fill that we have more than gotten our money's worth out of this tent. We camp as a family of 5, with extra kiddos occasionally. We can easily fit 2 queen air mattress in the tent with room left over for another cot, or storage/walkway. We have used the tent in heavy rain, lots of wind and not had any issues (until the leak I mentioned earlier).

Weather Proof

This tent is awesome! My husband is not into camping, so I found this big tent to give us space and comfort. Low and behold a storm comes through on the first day and this thing resisted wind and heavy rain without a single leak. It was easy to pop up and put away. 10/10!

Wonderful for families

We haven't been camping in years, but Coleman was always a brand we completely trusted. This tent was wonderful! It basically had 3 rooms, but could be opened to create larger spaces. My husband and I would sleep on one side and my kids on the other. 2 twin air mattresses fit easily without touching the sides. We left the center area for our luggage and belongings. In bad weather we were also able to use it as a communal space to play games etc. we did take precautions and waterproof it before even our first use, we had no issues.

It's fun to be in an eight-person tent if it's a date people but the downside is you have to put a tarp underneath the tent and over the tent so you don't get soaking wet from the rain

Pretty easy to set up, takes about 20 minutes the first time, it will be even easier next time. We fit two queen size air mattresses ?and still had room to fit more if needed?.

Camping

I went camping about 5 years ago and I had one of these tents. Very very spacious,good protection from the outdoors. There isn't much you can say about a tent I don't guess just that it's working to its full potential and has no issues definitely recommend for camping

Very comfortable tent for longer camp outs

It is a great tent; CAN be set up solo with patience though not quickly; very comfortable but does require stakes to hold shape and too big for standard tent pad so best to have a smaller back-up dome along as back up. Most luxurious tent-space I have ever enjoyed for longer stays in large site with reasonably soft (stake-friendly) ground!

This tent has so much room. It is easy to set up and take back down. It is very sturdy, even in different weather conditions. We use it when camping on the lake and our family, including dogs sleep in it.

Montana 8 person

I have this tent and when I tell you it's the best tent around I mean it! It's so durable and so roomy. It definì fits 8 people comfortably. I have although made one side into a bed room and the other side a living room area. With a blow up mattress as my bed and some cushions to make the couch. It's definitely a great purchase. Well worth the money

Love our Tent!

By fishinmt

We purchased this tent several years ago and consider ourselves avid campers. This tent is terrific! We love the bathtub bottom, the hinged door, the roll up windows, and the removable rain fly! We camp in northern Montana in early spring to late fall and haven't been disappointed yet. It does help to have two people for the initial set-up. You stay very warm and the light gives enough glow to find things in the dark. We've never had a problem camping in the rain or cold, we stay warm a...

Great for outdoors. I normally share it with one person because I like my space and it is excellent. It’s spacious and well lit once I hook up the light. It’s beautiful durable and affordable. I hav not used it in the rainy season in Kenya but I’m very happy with the product so far.
