Coleman Skylodge 10 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Skylodge 10 has four windows and one door and a peak center height of 6' 8, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 26 other 10 person tents we have studied. With 140 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 10-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to nine other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, larger tents similar to this one are a very good choice for families that love having plenty of space inside the tent.

One of the benefits of cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are near vertical creating a spacious interior, this makes for a lot more headroom at the sides inside, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally cabin tents will be used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. It dose though make them well suited to colder months. Lot’s of cabin tents have more than just one room to stay in, just like the Coleman Skylodge two-room tent

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 140 square feet, the Skylodge 10 is smaller than quite a lot of the 27 other 10 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 8% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Only one door. With just one exit to get out in the middle of the night, it could wake other people that are sleeping.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you need keep them inside the tent.
5. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
6. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Skylodge 10 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
7. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Skylodge 10, weighs 30 pounds and has a packed size of 30.5 x 11 x 11 inches. Clearly it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super easy to set up on your own.
8. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of WeatherTec system's welded corners and inverted seams help keep water out but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
