As a couple we enjoy some luxury camping and therefore wanted a tent with a good sized sleeping compartment and a large living area so we can cook and sit comfortably if the weather is not being kind. The sleeping area is very large for 2 people and we had room to store our clothes and stuff with plenty of room for the blow up double bed. However this tent is supposed to sleep 5 people. I think that it would be a tight fit to get 5 adults in the tent. You would be able to get 2 children and 2 adults in the sleeping area and still have some room to move. You can separate the sleeping compartment into 2 areas which may be of use if you have kids (this is not clear from the diagram). The head room in the tent is very good for people who are not very tall (we are 5 ft 6 and had heaps of room). There is plenty of room for a decent kitchen area and a small/meduim table and chairs. The only negative thing I can mention is the fact that there are no separate fly sheets on the doors so if you leave the tent you need to zip everything up. However its a small niggle rather than a deal breaker from my perspective. The tent is very easy to erect even though the instructions are very basic and not much help. We did however struggle to get it back in the bag but I suspect that with some practice we will soon get it down to the correct size.

We have just tried this tent for the first time.Pulled it out of the bag to discover several holes in the tent fabric and 2 of the arching tent poles had broken elastic inside making putting up the tent very difficult, requiring 4 people to hold the various loose segments together.Nice design but terrible quality.Coleman, can you please rectify this?

I bought this Coleman Waterfall Five Man Tent for "camping from the car". It is not for carrying on your back on a hiking holiday.First, the negatives (which are not as bad as the number would suggest - they are all minor, some very minor):(1) The instructions are very poor. However, once you've put the tent up once and taken it down again once, you'll be fine afterwards (especially if you pay attention to how the guy ropes were tied using slip knots when you first put it up, so that you can reproduce those knots when you put it away again - you'll be glad you did the next time you put it up). Make sure you put it up and down at least once before you go away.(2) The tent arrived nicely packaged in its bag, but tied using what looked like an offcut of material, which really didn't inspire confidence. Thankfully, things were better after that.(3) The first few times you put the tent up or take it down, use gloves where possible. I didn't, and ended up feeling like I had tiny nylon fibres buried in the skin of my hands - the nylon equivalent of using wire wool without gloves.(4) It is not obvious from the instructions that the tent is asymmetrical. Only one side has windows and guy ropes on the door. The first time I put the tent up, I ended up with the windows pointing the opposite direction from where I wanted them, as I had expected them to exist on both sides. You'll only get that wrong once.(5) The dome shape (and this presumably will be true of all dome-shaped tents) means that when you open the door in the morning after rain or heavy dew, water from the outside of the door is very likely to fall inside the dome.(6) The metal pegs bend very easily. I'd suggest buying some heavy duty ones.(7) The guy ropes are reasonably visible, but against green grass they do tend to disappear. I'd have preferred hi-viz orange to make things a bit safer.(8) Could do with a hanging point for a light in the middle of the ceiling.(9) Even in the sleeping "pod", which is essentially a dark bubble inside the tent itself, there is a reasonable amount of light, so make sure that you take an eye mask with you if you have trouble sleeping in light conditions.Now for the positives, which certainly outweigh the negatives:(1) The height in the dome is excellent, Both myself and my wife (over 6ft) can stand up easily in there without feeling claustrophobic.(2) Very spacious, although it would be snug to have five adults sleeping in it. For a couple, there is plenty of space for both sleeping and all your stuff.(3) The sleeping "pod" is excellent, with doors made up of two layers, one mesh to stop insects, and a second solid to block light when sleeping.(4) Good ventilation at the sleeping end, with a flap that can be held open or closed using guy ropes.(5) A few useful pockets.(6) The doors zip all the way around, although from other reviews and from the arrangement of the zips, it does look like this has been changed by Coleman as an afterthought.(7) Useful hole (zipped) for feeding an electrical connection through.It's not a difficult tent to put up or take down, but it's time consuming if you do it on your own. The first time, it took me an hour to put it up on my own, and nearly as long to take it down and pack it away. With practice it does get quicker, but I cannot imagine ever matching the 10 minutes mentioned in another review - maybe with another person helping, but not on my own.To summarise, a number of minor issues, but the plus points far outweigh them. I'd recommend this tent, but with one caveat - I've been exceptionally lucky with the weather when I've used this tent, so I cannot vouch for how well it stands up to gale force winds and torrential rain - the worst I have experienced so far has been a light shower.

Purchased this tent about 4 years ago from Amazon and have used it once or twice a year since then and are very happy with it.As usual with tents they claim you can fit many more people in than is really practical. This tent claims to be for 5 people and of course you can fit five people in as long as they are 1) not all full grown adults and 2) dont mind being very close to one another. In practice this is an excellent two or three person tent. You can just fit 1 double and 1 single inflatable mattresses in or two single inflatable mattresses with space left over for luggage.The best things about this tent are the porch area and the easy construction. You can put this tent up by yourself BUT its really easy with two of you. Once done a few times expect it to be up in under twenty minutes. You put the outer part up first so the inner sleeping compartment is done last. Great if its raining. Also you can leave the inner tent unused and use the whole area as a large under cover communal space if camping in a bigger group who nave tents to sleep in. The ceiling of the main porch area stands high enough that most people do not have to stoop once inside. There is also room for a decent 4 person camping table and chairs to sit at once the evening gets too cold to be outside.The bag it comes in is not that easy to carry around and one person would not want to carry it more than a few hundred yards on their own. But perfect if you are camping with a car and can park closeish to the pitch.
