Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity. Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness. For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. Domes, Tunnels and Sacks
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering. Average Rating of 4.50 out of 15 reviews

Next best thing to a Springbar - Maria Andrews, May 02, 2008
I am relatively new to camping and searched for quite some time to find a tent that would house myself and two dogs (both med sized). I wanted head room because I didn't want to walk around ape like. I wanted the walls to be cabin style for more area space and I wanted to be able to set it up myself. After looking at a plethora of tents and comparing reviews, it came down to Springbar and Coleman. As I'm new to camping, I didn't want to spend the money on Springbar (almost four times the cost) until I was sure I'd be out there often enough to justify the purchase. So, I went with Coleman. I chose the American Heritage Weathermaster 9x12 for the reasons already stated and have to say, I couldn't be happier with my decision.
I am a 5'8", 42 year old, 130 lb woman and was able to do a practice set up of the tent, alone, in approximately a little under an hour (take into consideration this is the very first tent I've ever set up). I estimate set up, next time, will be about half that or less. About 15 minutes to break it all down. Directions are extremely easy to follow with one minor exception...there are orange loops at the top of each corner of the tent, in which, the side poles should slide through. This wasn't implied in the directions. I think they just assumed one would know this. Also, if you're shorter than I am, chances are you'll need a step stool to insert side poles into roof poles but you'd still be able to set the tent up yourself.
I seam sealed the tent immediately after initial set up on a Sunday afternoon, but didn't do the fly. Sunday night, we got rain and it rained every day for the next three days varying from light drizzle to continual torrential down pour. We ended up with a total accumulation of 3 inches of rain with winds reaching 20 knots (approximately 10 to 12 mph). Tent stood strong and didn't budge but it did get an extremely small amount of water in it (two tiny puddles when mopped up and squeezed out, filled a coffee cup). I think the only reason it came in, was because I had stretched the tent a little to tautly on one side which caused the seems to stretch a little bit. The rain fly worked perfectly!! Not a single iota of water dripped from it into the tent.
The only cons that I can see are the tent stakes that come with the tent. They're short and made of plastic. I don't see them doing much good at all in strong winds. I would highly recommend purchasing different stakes. I used sixteen 12" steel stakes that I purchased separately (10 for the floor of the tent and the other 6 for guying the fly and long ends of tent).
Other than that, the windows on each end are large and airy, there are half moon windows for additional ventilation on the floor, the 7' ceiling offers beautiful views of the star filled sky when the fly isn't in use, the front door has a hinge and opens outward like a regular door which is a great advantage and the tub style floor is higher than almost all other tents I've looked at. There's lots of room inside and many pockets for storage with a second door (no hinge) in the back of the tent. The tent and fly along with the floor mats and room divider fit in one bag and the poles and stakes fit in another for easy transport. Both bags are rather light for carrying as well. I feel safe in this tent because it was sturdy and protected me in, what I feel like, was pretty inclement weather. I would highly recommend this tent and am looking forward to many excursions in it.

Best tent I've owned - J. Kelley, Apr 28, 2008
I have been a part of a medieval recreation society for five years now and go camping seven months out of the year, almost every weekend. I've camped in very high wind storms, torrential rain, super hot weather and this tent has seen me through it all! I don't use the stakes it comes with, although they are just fine for every day, run of the mill, camping, but not for what I do - I use what looks like huge nails I got from home depot... They are more sturdy and have a deeper bite to the ground - and with those I've had no issues with wind at all. I lost this tent to a mildew issue due to gross negligence of a friend who didn't dry it out properly two weekends in a row (I'd left it "damp" before in those five years and had no issues) and I was devastated when I had to get rid of it. At that time Coleman was no longer making it - I was estactic when I saw this available on amazon finally!! It's like being reunited with an old friend! I highly recommend this tent.

Love the height of Cabin Tent & easy to set up - J.D., Apr 18, 2008
I looked all over the internet to find a tent that had high ceilings since I am tall. I also wanted a tent that was easy to set up. I am not disappointed at all and would buy the same tent again. It takes around 20-30 minutes to set up and very easy step by step instructions. The Coleman has a very good warranty. Amazon offers at the best price because I spent alot of time on computer comparing prices.

coleman cabin tent - excellent - James G. Petri, Oct 10, 2007
Did quite a bit of searching for the perfect family camping tent. Finally decided on this one because of the straight walls and nice height. The tent more than meets my expectations. Although it is much easier if two people set up the tent, it is actually easier to set up than many dome tents. Warning: you must use the tie downs on the end to keep the angled poles from collapsing to the center. Very high side wraps keep ground water out (in Florida that's a must). The only problem I have is that the carry strap on the bag pulled out on the second lift. You'll likely have to rig a carry strap, however, this tent is for "car camping" which means you wouldn't want to carry it far anyway.
My recommendation: get one and enjoy the good life!

Great value - Dina Pinza, Sep 16, 2007
definitely a great value for the price. It was very easy to assemble, and very roomy inside. This tent has a lot of vertical space for the footprint. However, it's not ideal for extreme winds. I took it to the desert and was hit with 3 dust storms, one of which had winds up to 60mph. The tent stood strong (we used rebar for stakes) and the poles didn't bend or break, but it did rip a small hole in 2 corners and most of the connectors on the rain fly were ripped. Overall I was suprised at how well it held up.
