WeatherMaster 10-Person Camping Tent with Rainfly & Room Divider, Spacious Weatherproof Family Tent with Carry Bag

I loved this tent so much that I bought two! It’s really sturdy! See the last photos of our old tent. It was 8 years old and it held up against everything and finally 60+ mph straight line winds took it down. Despite missing its rain guard and a few snapped poles, the tent itself held up really well. We were so happy with all the years we got out of it and finally got another one and I had to go with the same one. It is really easy to set up, 2 people took 20/30 minutes or so and the size is great. We got a queen sized air mattress in it at one point with end tables and had room to spare. There is also a spot to hang a lantern up if we need and I loved that the door is hinged, it makes it so easy to go in and out. The floor is waterproof and has a coating that comes up the sides and the only time we had water in it was the night of the wind storm. It rained while we were setting it back up and it started down pouring as soon as we got it up. We slept in the truck that night and the liner is so good that we could have swam in it. We’ve never had water inside the tent Before and that just shows how great the waterproofing was. It kept the water out and once the water was in, it didn’t leave because the liner was that good. I can see myself years down the road buying my third. I love this tent.

My husband and I purchased this tent as a replacement for a yurt or a bell style tent that we had used last year during camping over the summer. As for this new tent, the weather master, we first set up the tent without the rain fly and were beyond pleased with the amount of airflow we got from the open top of the tent. We had two queen size air mattresses and a dog crate inside and still had plenty of room. my number one favorite thing about the inside of this tent is that it’s tall enough that we can stand up inside. When it rained during we day we brought our camping chairs inside and played cards and it was plenty comfortable for a group of 5. Although our camping trip included rain storms every night, and one night with very heavy winds. The steady winds were about 30 mph with even stronger gusts. The tent held up like a champ, although the sound of air blowing under the rain fly was a little bit loud.. We were able to zip up some of the windows to prevent rain from getting in, but could also open the windows under the rain fly to get some airflow when the rain & wind weren’t too crazy. We practiced setting up the tent one time at home and my husband was able to almost completely set up the tent by himself while I was watching the kids. we really loved the hinged door. I wasn’t sure what the purpose of this was before setting up the tent and using it, but it’s extremely convenient to go in and out of the tent, especially if you’re carrying things and the door will shut behind you. It has Velcro to automatically attach when it shuts, but you want to make sure you zip it up overnight or when it’s going to be a long amount of time to prevent bugs from getting in. I would definitely recommend this tent to anybody looking for a larger family, friendly tent That is also very durable and weather proof. The issue with the yurt was that there was not a lot of airflow because the windows were low down and we were camping at the beach during the summer. We also had issues with the yurt tent not holding up in a bad thunderstorm due to heavy winds.

Well this is my initial review. I plan to come back and do another review after we have used it more than once. First off photo 1 shown on amazon is the front of the tent. The door shown in this first photo is the front door that is hinged. The second photo is of the backside of the same tent but the back door is just zippered. Photo 2 also shows the little diagonal light color tent material close to the bottom on the left that conceals the little zipper to allow cords to run in and out of the tent. The tent I received did not have the little dog door show in photo 3 on the amazon page. Photo 4 is pretty accurate of what it looks like all set up. In my opinion photo 4 shows the fabric more realistically. It is thin shinny tent material not flat thick material the way it appears to me in the other photos. Now that we got that out of the way on to my experience of setting it up and using it. I ordered this for a Cub Scout campout. I went (5'4 female 30's) with two kids under 10. My husband had to work. The tent arrived on Friday thanks to awesome Amazon Prime shipping. We were leaving Saturday for the campout. I opened the box and went right to work. I set it up in the backyard all on my own (with help with one step from a 5 year old). The instructions were pretty clear. They are included on one white sheet of some sort of waterproof paper or material permanently attached to the tent bag. It was a windy day not heavy winds but gusty. It took me about an hour to unpack it for the first time, read the directions, watch a few seconds of a you tube video (while I was stuck), and set it up. Actual work time could have been greatly reduced but I made on error and it ate up a LOT of my time. So here is the error. On the instruction sheet it clearly says to put the pole marked with the red tape in the slot on the tent that is sewn in red...easy. Next put the remaining poles in the other slots at the top of the tent. Well here is where I had trouble. The tent was laying on the ground staked out at the corners but the bulk of the tent fabric was all piled up in the middle. I found another slot that looked just like the red one but it was sewn in black and put in the tent pole in and connected all of the pieces and tried to stand it up. No luck it would not stand up and fit in the pin-and-ring thing AT ALL it was like the fabric was two small or tight. I worked and worked and worked with it before I figured out that there was one slot sewn with red, two with black, and two with silver/gray (harder to see in the piled up mess of tent material). That important bit of information (that there were two other sets of slots and not just one) was not in my instructions so basically once I realized there was another choice it went right up. The black slots are not for the metal poles at all but are used later for black fiberglass shock poles. So that was my error and maybe it will save someone else some trouble for me to admit my silly mistake. Once the tent was standing I finished up the last bits of initial set up and it was done. Now I wanted to try to put of the rain fly myself. Remember I am going with just the two kids no hubby this time. The tent is very tall and I am not very tall. So I tried and tried to put the rain fly on but with the wind gusts it just kept blowing off before I could get it all the way on the tent. So here is were I used the 5 year old. She is very helpful but not very tall and we were able to get it on with only a few attempts working together. After it was "on" I still had to stake it out. Then it was done!! It is very nice and big!! So my intention was to go ahead and apply to Camp Dry and Seam Grip that I purchased. Because we were expecting rain. Well once I read the can it said it took 24-48 hours to dry WHAT? Oh not I didn't have that much time. I called Kiwi (SC Johnson) to ask them if I should spray or not spray and we decided together not to risk it not being dry in time. So off I went to camp without camp dry in the rain. Now I have to tell you that last Cub Scout campout we barrowed a tent and it rained a LOT and we got wet. So knowing it was going to rain again and I was going to be in a new untested tent with two kids this time not just one was stressful. I took the tent down packed it up with a tiny bit of help from hubby (not needed just nice to have :)). The next morning we headed to camp. Once we arrived we found a spot with the least rocks, put down the tarp, and set up the tent. I had a little help from some of our Scout family and we got it up pretty quick (wish I would have timed it). In the night there was wind in gusts and some rain and we stayed dry and the tent held up great! Now this was light rain and not sustained. I was pleased. I took down the tent (again with scout family help) packed it up wet in the mild rain and headed home. We set it up in the backyard with the intention of cleaning it and then applying the Camp Dry and Seam Grip. I was able to clean it but the next few days were VERY windy so I couldn't spray the tent. We did get to see how it held up to more rain (harder rain this time) and pretty beating winds. We finally took it down early on day three of it being up in the yard. I wish we would have taken it down earlier because I am sure all of that wind was not good for it. It took a beating and was still in good condition. I gave it the once over and found one small spot I would call a stretch mark that might leak at one of the tent bottom corners that attaches to the ring for the stake. I will be sure to apply Seam Grip there. We are planning to put it up again when it is not so windy to apply the Camp Dry and Seam Grip. I will update this review when we try it again. I just wanted to mention one more thing. I went to Home Depot and got some free sample squares of carpet (they were discontinuing this carpet) to put under the bottom of each camp cot leg. I plan to really protect the bottom to try and keep it in good condition. I do not want to get wet again like I did in the barrowed tent. No shoes and something under heavy objects. Hoping that helps. Update May 2016 we have been camping many times and this tent has held up so well. We have not had a really good hard rain yet to review the tent in hard rain.

We got this tent for our family of 6 (4 humans + 2 big dogs) and I think it is just the right size, if even slightly bigger than we need. We have taken it on one trip so far but it also sat in our yard for several days before our trip and got rained on more than once. So here's the skinny on this (not so skinny) tent: Size - will easily fit two adults on a queen air mattress plus two smaller mattresses for kids, or one pack-n-play and one mattress with some space left over for bags and whatnot. We did not use the room divider yet but it looks easy enough to attach and would give you two nice large separate spaces, each with their own door. Weather - it survived 2 downpours plus high winds in a rain storm with only a few quarter-sized puddles on the floor. Now, I think the puddles were due to the rainfly not being completely tightened and guyed out yet. I also accidentally left the windows open for one of the rainstorms and only got drops of rain beneath each window and no big puddles. I did seam seal the floor seams and some of the sides but didn't finish so I think that's pretty good considering that. Also, this is not the best tent to take when nighttime temps are freezing or below - it is pretty much a three season tent. Durability - my 5 year old was in and out of this tent about a thousand times over the weekend camping trip and the rigid door was a huge hit - sure beats trying to teach them about using the zipper slowly and cautiously. Have not used it with the dogs yet but I think the floor will hold up well because it is a tarp floor (yes just like the big blue tarps you use for yardwork or covering stuff) and it's thick. We did buy another tarp to use as a ground cloth beneath but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. Set up - it was very easy to set up with two people. Only three main poles and a few smaller ones for the door and each end. It went up in less than 20 minutes with two people the second time we did it. My only complaint is that the windows don't go down low enough. It doesn't air out much in the heat due to this. The ceiling is completely mesh though so it does help some. Also it's very heavy and good luck getting everything back into the original bag. Overall I think it's a pretty good tent and would recommend it to any family looking for a great car camping tent with lots of space and ease of use.

We are avid campers and have had probably a dozen tents over the years. Everything from $30 pup tents to $400 all-season backpacking tents for winter excursions. This tent is everything I expected and more, but make sure you understand it's purpose and limitations before buying. I never intended to use this tent in heavy rain, nor would I expect it to be waterproof like my more expensive backpacking tents. This is a late spring to early fall, family camping tent and it serves this purpose beautifully. It will keep you dry through a northwest drizzle, but more than that and I would not be surprised to wake up in a puddle. Luckily, I haven't tested it's monsoon-withstanding abilities yet. Design: I'm really happy with the design and layout of the tent. It offers tons of space and head room. I am 6'1" and I'm comfortable standing in it, even when not directly in the center peak. We put 2 king foam mattresses in it and still have a big space in the middle for gear and getting dressed. We like to sleep width wise and it's plenty wide to feel comfortable laying that direction. With the sloped sides, it can feel a bit tight if you are in the extreme edges of the tent, but with only 4 people, that's not a problem for us. And the sloped sides have other advantages such as withstanding wind better and being more structurally rigid than a straight-walled tent. Features: The most unique feature is the door. This is a huge bonus if you have kids because they can easily open and close it with catching the material in the zipper. It makes those late-night potty trips less disturbing to the rest of the family. It also makes it so much easier to bring gear in and out of the tent without letting all the bugs in during the process. We like to set it up in the back yard on nice weekends and let the kids use it like a giant play house. The swinging door makes it much more fun to run in and out of it. It's a slight challenge to get the poles zipped into the door perimeter, but after the first couple of times it's really easy. I also like the power cord inlet. It makes it easy to bring a power cord in without worrying about bug or water intrusion or creating a trip hazard running it through the entry door. The room divider works great, but it's not something we have ever needed so it stays in the bag most of the time. I wish it had a few storage pockets like all of my other tents have. Especially for glasses, cell phones and flash lights so they are easy to find without risk of being stepped on. This seems easy to add so I'm not sure why they were left out. Set-up: Me and my 8 year old can set this up in about 15 minutes. With my wife's help, 10 minutes. By myself it takes 20ish minutes though I've only done it once and could probably get faster with practice. There is very little that you can do incorrectly thanks to color coded poles and intuitive design. Just make sure to take your time and read through the instructions the first couple times and you'll have it figured out. Some may find folding it back up and getting it in the bag tricky. I think the bag is adequately large to accommodate a less-than-perfect folding job. Just make sure you use the bag length as a guide to fold the tent the correct width before rolling. Too narrow and your roll will be too fat, to wide and you'll be stuffing the corners into the bag. I find it easier to roll with the bottom tarp side out and the tenting tucked in. Overall: Great family tent for fair weather campers. You'll love the space, the ease of setup and the swinging door. As long as you don't expect it to be waterproof and you take care setting up and tearing down, you'll be really happy with your purchase.

Originally posted February 8, 2015: My husband and I are avid campers, but value shoppers. We have gone through no less than 3 non-Coleman tents (and been very disappointed), before finally shelling out the cash to get a quality product. We used the WeatherMaster this weekend for camping in 35-40 degree weather. Two days before camping, we did spray the tent and rain fly generously with a couple cans of ScotchGard to keep it fully weather-proof (about $20 worth). We were willing to pay the extra price to ensure a quality product, as opposed to buying a new tent every year! The mesh roof does make for a breezy tent, but we packed a small heater and plenty of blankets, and had no problems. Moisture was kept out. Sturdy, even in very strong winds. The construction is great, and a brilliant design. My 6'2" husband and I can walk end to end without stooping. We love the dual doors on each side, because it made loading and unloading much easier. Shock-corded swing door works great on the velcro, although it is a challenge to zip without catching the cover flaps. The venting is great for warm weather, as we hit temps in the 70s/80s in the afternoons and the tent stayed cool (and didn't get that weird muggy camp smell). Windows on the side are angled for venting without letting rain in, which we love. We set up our camp in the dark, using lanterns, which was a little rough, but the tent was easy enough to figure out. We managed the whole thing in 30 minutes anyway. It IS a multi-step process, not an easy-up, so be prepared to read the instructions all the way through (don't skim). The result is a really good, comfy tent that fit two queen size air mattresses (could've fit 3) and plenty of room for bags and supplies. Our friends were envious of our tent and kept asking to come inside and check it out! It is set up for a two month camping stint right now. I will edit this review at the end of two months. Edited 4/07/15 to add: Two months of solid weekend camping, and this tent withstood temps down to 40 degrees (put blankets inside the sleeping bag, and we used that little camp heater right next to our feet), HARD rain (no leaks) and 25 mph winds. This tent is a rock. We love the dual doors. We love the windows. We love all the space. We love the option of hanging the curtain down the middle for privacy, although we only did that once. The place is clean, except for a bit of dirt tracked in, DRY, and in great shape. Virtually every other tent in our camping area leaked or was blown over during the wind and rain. We stood out as one of the survivors. Love it, would recommend, and can't wait to haul it out again next year!

This is an update from my original 2 star review of this tent to 1 star after being told by customer service at Coleman that the warranty on this WEATHERmaster tent does not cover weather damage. BUYER BEWARE! COLEMAN will not stand behind their product. The poles used for this tent are cheap inferior garbage and do not hold up in sunlight. I had been told that Coleman products are no longer what they used to be but I ignored that and bought this tent on the reputation they used to have. Lesson learned. Will never buy another product that carries their name and will strongly recommend that my friends and family invest their camping dollars elsewhere also. My original review is below. When we first received this tent we put it up in the yard to seal the seams and test it out. It was up for almost two weeks and performed great in rain and wind. Very easy to put up and take down. Hinged front door, regular zip style rear door. Plenty of windows. Be sure to flip the tent bag over to rip off the fabric that will allow the bag to enlarge about an extra 4 inches. Then we went to Kentucky on top of a mountain for 4 nights. After a couple days there was something that didn't look right about the tent, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. We had 4 days of 85-90 degree sunny weather. Taking the tent down on Sunday it became obvious. The two end support poles that go over either end of the tent were warped/bent. We didn't have any windy days so the only thing that could have caused that is the hot sun. It's now too late to return thru Amazon so I'm hoping that Coleman will replace the inferior poles. If not, I have a very expensive unusable tent. If it weren't for the weak tent poles I would have given this tent a 5 star rating. It's a great design and the hinged door is a very nice option to avoid having to bend over to zip your way in and out.

This is an awesome tent. Stop reading this review, put it in your cart right now and buy it. Then come back and I'll tell you why it's a great tent. I'll be right here. Okay, Done? Good. You are gonna love this tent. It is full of awesomesauce. It is easy to put up, my wife and I did it in about 30 minutes the first time closely following the directions in our backyard. Why put a tent this size up in your backyard you ask? We'll get to that in a minute. Anyway, it took about 30 minutes to put up and when we had it up, we sprayed it with Atsko Silicone Water-Guard 10.5 oz . Yes, I know it's supposed to be water repellent but if you don't coat your tent with something you're an idiot. Just do it and stop whining. It took two cans to thoroughly treat the tent and rain fly. Drop those in your cart as well. Prime. It's a wonderful thing. Anyway, we took the thing camping and it was great. Yes, it has a power port. The room divider is nice, it's split with a zipper down the middle so you can tuck it out of the way. There are little tabs to hang lights from. We used a iRainy 60 LED Portable Outdoor Indoor Camping Lantern With Lampshade Circle Tent Light Campsite Hanging Lamp For Outdoor Camping/Hiking/ Mounting/Reading/Hunting/Fishing hung in the center and it did a fantastic job, adequately lighting the tent without being obnoxious. The doors are great, easy to open and close, the main door has velcro that is outstanding for the "In and out" during the day and then zip it up at night. I'm not sure what some folks' major malfunction is that are complaining about the zippers. They're tent zippers. Don't yank on 'em like a gorilla and they will do fine. Over the course of four days, not one of our zippers bound up. Not even once. The one thing you will want to do is order up a couple sets of Coleman 9-In. Heavy Duty Aluminum Tent Stakes . The stakes that come with the tent don't really amount to much more than a good idea, but that is the way most tents come. Now, a lot of folks have complained that this thing barely fits back in the provided bag. Not so. When we packed ours up we fit the tent (With the fly and the two useless little "Foot mats"), an 11' X 23' tarp for a ground cloth, all of our tent stakes and a 4 lb hand sledge. It fits. Pay attention, think about it a bit and it'll go just fine. We folded along it's long axis in thirds and then folded it just shorter than the length of the bag and it popped right in. As far as setup and takedown go, it is a snap. The first time took us about 30 minutes, the second time took about 15. Takedown is just as simple. When we broke camp, my wife took it down by herself in about 15 minutes and when when we got home she set it up herself in about 10 minutes. BAM! DONE! All in all this is a fantastic tent and is worth every penny you pay for it. Buy it now, and thank me later.
