One of the most frustrating things when you get to a campsite is setting up your tent, especially large ones.   Coleman tents have made this much easier though with their Instant Tent line which they hope are the easiest and quickest tents to set up.  These tents take only about 1 minute to setup or take down which means no more worrying about complicated setups with elaborate tent poles. (It may take you as long as five minutes).  How can a large camping tent be set up so quickly?  They pre-attach the tent poles so that you do not have to put them through the loops yourself.   You can simply get to your site and set your camping tent up quickly.  The ease and quickness of the process can be a huge asset if you get to the campground a little later than you planned, stormy skies are already headed your direction or you just want to start enjoying the great outdoors.
The Coleman Instant Tent comes in 2 sizes, a 6 man tent or an 8 man tent so it is the perfect size tent for family camping.  The 6 man Instant tent has a center height of 71” and can fit 2 queen air mattresses.  The Instant Tent 8 is a little taller with a center height of 76” and can also fit 2 queen air mattresses.

The Instant Tents also come equipped with the Coleman WeatherTec system which they guarantee will keep you dry.  Many users have camped in storms in these tents and have confirmed that it has kept them dry.  Another thing that makes this tent unique is that it comes with the tent fully taped, which means there is no need for a rainfly.  Just to be safe you might want to bring a tarp with you and do a pretest at home.  Just set the tent up at home before you hit the campground, let the sprinklers hit it or even a hose and see if there are in tiny holes that need to be double sealed.  This can save you from a big headache when you get to your campground.
These are fairly cheap tents and can be found pretty easily.  I’ve seen them at the big warehouse stores like Sam’s Club.  You can also find a 2 room 10 man version of the Instant tent at Bass Pro Shops. You can also find them at Amazon following this link. Enough cannot be said about Coleman Tents.  They have become an authority in camping tents and a brand your family can trust.

Other tents you might be interested in are the Coleman Vacationer Tent and the Coleman Weathermaster.  They do not set up as quickly as this model but they are both big and the Vacationer comes with their new lighting system which features a light switch in your tent.
