Coleman Tent Coastline

I was wary when I went to purchase this tent because I had bought my last one only last year on reading reviews and it did not come up to scratch. I need not have worried at all. This is a marvellous tent and does exactly what it says on the tin. It was pretty easy to put up even for the first time and, as one reviewer put it, no matter how you fold it, it does go back into the bag without too much hassle. It was fully tested on my first camp as we had glorious sunshine for the most part but I did have a couple of days where it poured down with rain. Here I will say that you need to ensure your door zips are really tightly closed ass the water will drip through. I had to open and re-close mine on both sides to stop this, but that is a minor thing. Whilst this tent was not as high as my last one, and I had to bend slightly in order to walk through in it, it did serve me well and the seating area is certainly large enough to accommodate a large table and chairs plus my cooking stuff. The bedroom is a genuine three berth but, as there was only me, I had oceans of room. I took a week's worth of gear plus fishing equipment and food etc. and I still had room enough to move around without hitting anything. It is of a packed size that makes it even good for backpacking. I was amazed at how small it did fold up to. I actually packed the tent without taking the bedroom off or the groundsheet up, but that is your choice. My one disappointment, and it is with Coleman, is that I could not find a footprint to go with this tent. It would be so useful. I had to use all sorts of things in the end as I had forgotten to take the polythene I normally take when going camping. I do wild camping In Scotland, which I believe is not allowed elsewhere, so the terrain is what you find it. I will be contacting Coleman to find out if they are going to make a footprint. This is a nitpick, though. The tent itself kept me snug and dry and the front porch area is a really great idea. As one person said, the poles are not the best, but they did hold together. Also, to my surprise, the tent pegs provided actually did the job. Normally, the first thing I get rid of is the manufacturer's tent pegs as they are useless, but the ones in the pack from Coleman proved more than adequate. I can recommend this tent to anyone, be they individuals or a small family. It s suitable for any type of camping, be it car, bike, bicycle or backpacking, and I am looking forward to using it for many years to come.

I have now used this tent on two camping holidays one for 3 nights and then one for 6 nights and it really is great. It is really spacious inside so even with a double airbed inside there is still room on each side for a small suitcase or rucksack. The front section is brilliant for in the evenings when it gets a bit cooler or dark you can still sit on chairs inside and plenty of space for camping boxes etc. The front door also makes a great little shaded are for when the sun is too hot. The side doors are excellent for airing out the tent and getting in and out in the morning without getting wet with the moisture collected on outside of the tent overnight. During first outing with this tent we had some horrible weather with ongoing very heavy rain, thunder and wind and the tent did really well, it stayed completely dry on the inside sleeping compartment and most of the outside section. There was a small drip from the two tags which are used when you roll up the front door (or for hanging a torch off inside). These seemed to become saturated and did start to drip in the morning, although after a very heavy night's rain and such a small drip I wasn't concerned and this definitely wouldn't put me off the tent. I think it did really well in the weather. The tent is very easy to put up and take down and can be done by one person although easier with 2. The inside compartment can also be left inside when taking it down. My only very small little niggle is the 2 poles you get for putting up the front door to the front of the tent, each pole is made up of 3 parts and they do work well, however, they are really loose and don't have a click function or anything so when just holding them they fall apart. They do work when standing with the tent and you just peg the string down and as I said this is a very small niggle! This is a great tent, a bargain at the price on amazon! Fully recommend!

Paid £82.84 8/15. Used it twice now with some wind and rain on both occasions and the tent performed very well. Plenty of space and comfortable inside with well isolated bedroom with good vents - usefully large living area with good door options. Two problems which is a shame as it's a good tent - 1) Instructions are useless and verging on non-existant which is silly as it is quite easy to put up ONCE YOU KNOW HOW. - try harder Coleman. 2) Bag is too small and tent must be shoe-horned back into it with difficulty. Obviously it is more important to tent manufacturers to quote a smaller pack-away size than it is to provide the buyer with a realistically spacious bag. PS. One of the reviews here makes the exact opposite point to this - spot the plant. Will provide updates as time goes on .... Promised update 14-04-17: I've used it about nine times now in all weathers and I still like it very much and all the pluses above still apply as does the negative of the too small bag - even after much practice it is still a mammoth effort to squeeze it back into its bag. LOL - looks like I may be getting dislikes from people who don't like my price reveal - tough, we're all counting the coins so stop milking it - this is buyer power on the Web.

Wir haben das Zelt gekauft, als es hier im Angebot war. Erst hatten wir ein wenig Angst, weil ja doch ein paar negative Bewertungen hier standen (undichte Nähte; Stangen, die sich verbiegen oder zerbrechen; billige Verarbeitung...) - nichts davon können wir bestätigen. Wir sind mit dem Zelt zwei Wochen lang von Deutschland in die Hohe Tetra, Slowakei gereist und haben es auf dem Weg dahin mehrmals auf uns abgebaut (ca. 10x Auf- und Abbauen) und das Zelt sieht noch aus wie vorher. Weil es hier so viele Kommentare wegen Undichtigkeit gab, habe ich es vorsichtshalber imprägniert und wir hatten uns Nahtabdichter gekauft. Den mussten wir gar nicht benutzen, weil das Zelt top dicht ist. Wir hatten ein paar Regenschauer und einen ganzen Tag Regen und das Zelt hielt dicht. Die Bodenwanne ist super praktisch, da sie ein wenig höher ist und somit kein Wasser reinlaufen kann. Das Zelt lässt sich sehr leicht auf- und abzubauen (sofern man zu Zweit ist) und dauert ca. 30min (nach dem man den Trick raus hat). Wir haben uns am Anfang gemerkt, wie es eingepackt war und es so immer wieder selbst auseinander gebaut, damit es in die Zelttasche passt. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut. Die Nähte sind alle noch mal abgeklebt und das Innere vom Zelt fässt sich gummiert an. Trotz heißem Wetter und Feuchtigkeit von draußen, schwitzt es nicht! Die Reisverschlüsse wirken hochwertig und die Nähte reißen nicht auf, wenn das Zelt mal ein wenig zu doll gespannt ist. Der Stauraum ist super! Man hat sehr viel Platz drinnen (3-Mann-Zelt gekauft und zu Zweit mit Taschen drinnen geschlafen), sodass man sogar bei schlechten Wetter drinnen sitzen könnte, ohne Platzangst haben zu müssen. Das Vorzelt hat auch eine sehr gute Größe, sodass man auch zur Not da drinnen sitzen könnte. Das Zelt bekommt von uns volle 5 Sterne, weil es wirklich sehr gut ist. Es ist wirklich eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Per averla pagata poco più di 100 euro per me è un’ottima tenda, facile e veloce da montare, economica e spaziosa, perfetta per due persone se si vuole stare comodi. La borsa non è molto voluminosa ed è abbastanza leggera. La tenda ha anche una buona tenuta alla pioggia ma la di deve montare correttamente (non è difficile comunque).

This tent has lots of positive sides but insulation could be improved. It has spacious room. It protects well against the rain. High speed wind is not a problem neither. The transport bag is a bit small after the first use because it’s not possible to put the tent back the way it was in factory. What could be improved: heat insulation! Nowadays you’ll find tents with thermal and light insulation but here is not. Prepare for high temperature when the sun is strong. The other big plus of treatments is constant darkness for a better sleep. I guess both light and heat insulation are an all in one cloth treatment.

Tente traditionnelle, assez lourde, très spacieuse, facile à monter, couleur neutre agréable. Tapis de sol de l'entrée ne semble pas très étanche ni solide.

Zipper and the fabric nearby gets stuck sometime. Very good insulation and wind noise suppression.
