  • Great 2-3 season family tent!
Color: Blue Style: 8-person
As an adult who has just recently returned to the world of camping (I am a leader in my son's cub scout pack), I looked at LOTS of tent options before choosing the Coleman Montana 8 person tent. I checked out reviews on Amazon and CampMor, and talked to as many camping enthusiast friends as I could. My first year in scouting, I borrowed a Eureka 2-person tent from our local boy scout troop, which came up to (maybe) my waist, and just barely fit my full-sized air mattress. After struggling to change clothing while lying down (I could barely kneel, let alone stand), and suffering through a fairly sleepless/stuffy night in the Eureka tent, I decided that the following features were necessary for comfortable camping: 1. The ability to stand up fully. This meant that any tent I chose had to have a center height of at least 72", preferably more (my husband is 6 feet tall, and if I ever want him to join us camping, the tent needs to work for him too. The Montana 8 has a center height of 84" (7 feet). 2. Room for gear and at least two full/queen sized air mattresses. Although the Montana 8 states that there's room for 8 people, the diagram shows these 8 people sleeping in mummy bags very close together. From a comfort perspective, this tent will hold 4-5 people (and their gear) at a maximum, without feeling overly crowded. For the three of us, this fits the bill nicely. 3. Intuitive and easy to set up and take down. While I like camping, I am not an avid camper. Finding a tent that can be set up (and taken down) with only help from a 9 year old was key, and this fits the bill nicely. 4. Good cross-ventilation. After sleeping in a stuffy tent once, I didn't want to repeat the experience. Three windows (the two side windows and the door window) can be rolled down to allow for good air flow and ventilation. We rolled the windows down 1/3 of the way, which provided a very comfortable cross-breeze while sleeping. 5. Waterproof with a bathtub floor. Many of the reviewers stated that they had no problems with leaks along the seams without using any waterproofing sealant. After talking with others and reading some recommendations, I used the Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellent to spray the seams prior to our first use, as added protection. We had some light rain during the evening, and much heavier rain the next morning, and the inside of the tent stayed bone dry. 6. Quality. I wanted a tent that would stand up to occasional car camping trips, without having to be replaced on a regular basis. Coleman is a recognized brand, and after talking with folks who own Coleman tents and reading the reviews, I was convinced that this tent would be a good one for our family. So far, I'm pleased! 6. Price. Given that we don't do a lot of camping, I didn't want to spend hundreds on a tent. I purchased the Montana 8 in Blue (not the Elite) from Amazon in mid-May 2015, and paid $136.48; a surprisingly low price for this particular tent model/size. Some nice features that this tent offers (that weren't on my list of must-haves): 1. A port for electrical/extension cords. While this tent does not have electricity, it does include a port near the door that allows campers to run an extension cord into the tent (for use with lanterns, fans, etc.) 2. A covered entry area. I looked at tents that had screened in areas, but opted for this one instead, choosing to have the extra room inside the tent rather than in a screened area. I had two camp chairs outside - in the evening, when it started to rain, I placed the camp chairs under the front rain fly "awning", on either side of the door. Despite the rain, the chairs stayed mostly dry, with only a few drops of water on them. 3. A "D door". This door has a pole that threads around the D curve, and another one at the hinge axis, which means that the door can function as a real door in terms of opening/closing, rather than a door that must be zipped open and closed. While there are Velcro closures around the D curve, we found that to keep insects from getting in we still had to zip it shut. However, we liked the easy entry! All in all, my family and I are very pleased with our new tent, and look forward to many years of use! ... show more

  • Decade Old Great family tent
Color: Blue Style: 8-person
We bought this tent in 2016 . This is our 10th summer using this tent as a family of 4. We have had pack n’ plays in the tent with a queen size air mattress. Now the kids are older and have a queen mattress and two twins. We just got done camping in one of many rain storms with this tent and it held up perfectly for a ten year old tent. We have never had an issue with the rain fly. I will say the door pole is flimsy . They break easily. But it’s not something that’s needed. Overall this tent has been great for our family. ... show more

  • Coleman Montana 8 Tent (Blue)
Color: Blue Style: 8-person
After a whole lot of review comparisons, of various brands and sizes of cabin-style tents, I settled on the Coleman Montana 8 person tent. I didn't need self-rolling windows or yet another lamp, so I went with the standard, "non-Elite" version. We got the Blue/White/Black coloured tent, as opposed to the "sea-foam"-ish green tent which seems to be in greater supply. At the time we purchased it, the price was the same as for the green version. We are a family of three, and we wanted a lot of extra room to move around without having anything too cumbersome. The size of this tent was perfect for placing our queen-size air mattress on one end, and our gear and clothes on the other, while having a nice wide area in the middle in which to stand, change clothes, and move around each other while entering/exiting the tent. The centre height was perfect for me to stand stand up straight, with room to spare beneath the webbing, but I'm only 5'9'. the Elite version of the tent seems to list a higher centre height despite that the tent looks almost identical in the photos. The two end windows are angled outward so that in a light rain it is possible to keep them open without the rain coming through the windows. The front awning is certainly large enough that the front window can be left open in slightly heavier rain without a problem, but wind will be something to factor in. As others have noted, the tent comes packaged in a conveniently sized carry bag (27" x 8" x 8"), with separate bags for stakes and poles. The poles are sort of colour-coded to the sleeves the go into on the tent body and the rain-fly awning. one of the black poles has red swatches indicating it is for the awning. The two black poles and the grey poles support the tent body. Two very thin poles act as the door hinge and flap support. The entry matt is a separate piece with its own pair of stakes. After reading numerous reviews that praised this tent for being waterproof out of the box, I decided to trust the reviewers, and the manufacturer's factory seam taping, and pitch it as it was. 17 stakes in the ground, 7 poles, 8 guy lines, and a half-hour later, the tent was up and looking quite nice. Everything was wonderful, until it started raining our second night out. We had steady, light rain, and only a few hours after it began the inside of the rain-fly began beading with water droplets. Luckily, we had a plastic painting tarp that we were able to throw over the rain-fly and tie down. After shaking off the water build-up on the outside of the rain-fly and quickly positioning and tying down the tarp, we dried off the inner surface of the rain-fly, and things help up fine. We were also lucky that there was very little wind, so our tarp stayed in place. Lesson learned: ALWAYS seam seal and waterproof your rain-fly, regardless of what the reviewers tell you. The "bathtub", or floor of the tent, stayed perfectly dry despite water pooling on the tarp we put underneath the tent as a footprint. It was just the rain-fly that was not up to its task. We also had some slight trouble with the hinged door, which has a pole that supports the edge, and another that acts as the hinge. It also has several swatches of Velcro along the edge that are supposed to catch as the door swings closed, preventing the need to always zipper it shut. The door was a pain in the arse. The Velcro never lined up correctly, nor held properly. And the pole supporting the edge made zipping the door open and shut very difficult. We ended up simply removing the pole that supports the edge, and zipping the thing each time we passed through. Even without the door pole, it was necessary to pinch the tent above the door in order to get the zipper past a certain catch point that seems to result from the way the front of the tent hangs from the structural rods. I couldn't figure a way to tighten the guy lines to pull the poles in a way to prevent this. But, in all, the door operated far more easily as a regular tent door, than the "hinged door" it was designed to be. There is a small ring attached to a fabric tab at the apex of the tent which can hold a lamp hanging on a carabiner, but I sort of wish this tent had a mesh shelf handing there, instead. There are two mesh bags hanging on the walls, one at each end, on opposing walls. Despite the failed factory taping on the rain-fly, and poorly engineered "hinged door", we really enjoyed this tent, and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin style tent as many as four or five people. ... show more

  • Priced Right for Quality. A Happy Customer and Camper
So far I really love this tent. It was easy to set up with just 2 people. I like the door the most. it is one of the reasons (besides the all mesh top) that I bought this tent. It has 2 poles you slide in and makes it into a swinging door which can stay shut with the Velcro on the opening or zipping it completely shut like any other tent. It also has a little (about the size of a balled up fist) zipper spot leading out of the tent, that I'm thinking is for running a cord through for electronics. It's spacious but not as spacious as the Coleman Red Canyon, but in my opinion better quality built. The rain cover also doesn't really cover the windows as much as the Red Canyon but if you stake in the guy lines it keeps the water from running into your tent window. For size you can fit from end to end 3 queen mattresses (no space in between), and even though it says 8 it more comfortably fits 4 - 5 allowing everyone to bring in there own travel bags and sleeping gear (With in reason). The only cons I see to this tent, is you have to have it staked into the ground on the ends or the wind will blow the sides in if facing in direct wind. For some the door might be a little high so tripping can be an issue, and the rain fly over the windows may not completely keep out rain if it's raining hard and windy. ... show more

  • Coleman quality failing πŸ‘Ž
Color: Blue Style: 8-person
Disappointing quality. I'll probably avoid buying Coleman products going forward. I owned this tent 3 years. I've used it 4 times for 5-7 days at a time. When taking the tent down this last time not one but 2 poles broke. Both grey colored poles which form the outter sides of the tent split down the center. Went to Coleman's website and replacement parts are not available. I bought Core 9 to replace this and it seems much better quality, solid aluminum poles and every part has available replacement parts on Core's website. ... show more

  • Great for first time campers
Color: Blue Style: 8-person
This is the first family tent that I've bought other than a backyard pop-up. Size: it fits four people well with air mattresses at either end. I can see fitting 6 people in a row lengthwise, but it's hard to see how 8 people could fit unless no one used air mattresses and you were side by side like sardines. Interior space: The center has a good amount of head space, if you put the sleeping bags at either end, it makes a comfortable space. There is a side pocket on either end to store things and a light hook at each end and in the center. The zip opening for an electric cord is handing, although it would be nice to have one on the other side as you either have to orient the tent towards the outlet or have a long extension cord. I really like the structure to the door. Set up and take down: it's easy to put up once you know where everything goes. There were a couple of steps on the instructions that were a little confusing, basically everything connects to the silver rings. Once you understand that, it's easy. 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. Weathering the elements: We've used this twice. The first time, it stood up under very windy conditions. The tents of people around us were collapsing, but this little tent held up to the winds. We haven't used it in rain yet. Edited May 2018: We took this out on a trip in some Houston rains and I didn't notice any leaking at all. Packing up, I asked another camper the trick to getting a tent rolled up tight enough to get it back in the case. The trick is the tent poles. Lay down your tent pole bag at the end of the tent and fold the tent in thirds so that the folded tent is no wider than the tent pole bag. Then place your pole bag at the end of the tent and begin to slowly roll up the tent, allowing the weight of the poles to push the air out of the tent. The experienced camper told me it was important to go slow and not force the air out or it could damage the tent. Since the tent is a rectangular dome, there will be more tent in the center, so you have to be sure to keep folding in the extra as you roll up to it. The trick is when you come to the other end. Since it has a tub bottom, all the air will be pushed ballooning up that waterproof (and airproof) area. There will be no place for the air to escape. To get the last bit of air out, roll back the end you've been rolling over the stakes until you come to the end wall window. Next roll up the end you've been trying to reach, which is ballooned up. So the pole end is just unrolled to the window and the opposite end is rolling TO the window, pushing out all the trapped air. Unroll the end with the poles to the opposite end again. If there is still too much air, repeat until the whole thing will roll flat. I had to do this three times, but in the end everything fit. I was able to fit everything back into the case completely with room to spare. ... show more

  • Reviewed tents for weeks before settling on this one.
Color: Blue Style: 8-person
Let me see if I can be thorough about this. Our family needed a tent. Our other one was a hand-me-down two personer. We have 2 kids now so it just wasn't cutting it. I am not a camping lover, so I am not looking for a tent that can withstand the elements, so I cannot state how it holds up to rain. But it was CRAZY windy when we used it and the tent did fine. As for the easiness to set up, this tent was a dream. I don't camp, but still was able to put up this tent by myself, with a toddler helping me. The tent only has a few poles to push through. The hardest set up part was actually the frame for the door with was VERY tight so needed to be zipped up before putting the ends where they needed to be. The framed front door made it easier for my toddler to hold open and get in. The size of the tent is dreamy. We have a queen air mattress, a giant dog bed, a baby rock n' play and a toddler mattress and still have room for my son to run from bed to bed. With all the screens, it made withstanding the wind no problem. It just rolled right through. Putting the tent away was a little bit harder. Just trying to figure out how to package everything back up. I think we had the tent put back just fine, but I don't think we got the rain fly back in the bag. It is also huge, so you need LOTS of space to fold it up nicely. We love it so far! ... show more
