Blackberry Skylodge 6-Person Instant Camping Tent

Web ID: 19910376Great tent looks stunt but super bulky storage
This tent extremely easy to set up. You can do it by yourself. It is extremely easy to follow the instructions and almost anyone can do it. The tent looks gorgeous when it’s put together and is easy to stake into the ground. It’s extremely easy to disassemble, but it is incredibly hard to figure out how to get it in the bag perfectly. I have an extremely hard time folding it up. I keep getting the tent folded up where it’s bulky on one side and super skinny on the other. If there’s one thing I could change, it would be how to put it back in the bag. You definitely need a tarp underneath your tent, even though it has the tarp lining when folding it up, it is extremely hard to clear all the dirt off of the tent due to how it folds. I got extremely covered in dirt folding this tent and trying to sweep the dirt off so that it wouldn’t make the tent bag extremely dirty but in the end I was dirty. The tent was dirty, and the tent bag was dirty. I also did not realize that the tent bag would be so large. I knew it would be big, but I didn’t realize it would be the size of a pop-up but I guess that makes sense because it resembles a pop-up in installation. It rained a lot on this camping trip. I took it on and we did stay dry. They do wish the rain fly came out a little bit over on the sides more allowing for less rain to come through the windows. Very spacious on the inside and a lot of headroom. I am 5’7 and I could not touch the highest point in the tent but closer to the door I could scrape my head against. There were three of us staying in this tent with two large dogs. For this trip, we chose three large cots from which took out a large amount of space in the tent, allowing just for the room for the dogs to lay down on the ground.

Nice light, easy setup tent
Quick and easy setup. A bit tight for 6 people, unless it is really only used to sleep in. Otherwise it is comfortable and lightweight for camping trips. Looks like it will last the test of time. Weather wise it stood up to light winds but nothing major so far.

Take down / packing up
Bought last year but my family decided to go glamping. Going to use for the first time next week - practiced setting up in backyard and it was a breeze except for rain fly, rake down/folding up was difficult and I was afraid I was going to break the poles.

This is the tent you want!
I looked at dozens and dozens of tents before settling on this one. My grandchildren tell me I’m an old woman, and 5’1”. I used this tent for the first time this weekend. It went up in under five minutes. We had severe rain storms that lasted more than an hour before tapering off to drizzle for another hour. This tent didn’t leak a drop!

Not great
There are seams at the top that are coming apart already and the floor tarp has small holes already. It's been used only once.

Hello, thank you for reaching out, and we're sorry to hear about your experience with the Skylodge™ 6-Person Instant Camping Tent. We take quality and durability very seriously, and it's certainly not the experience we want for our customers. If the seams at the top are separating and the floor tarp already has small holes after just one use, that’s not up to our standards. This tent is designed to withstand typical outdoor conditions, and early wear like this may indicate a defect. Seams at the top are coming apart. Possible causes: Tent was overstressed during setup (e.g., fabric pulled too tightly) Improper folding/storage after first use Manufacturing defect in stitching or seam tape Steps to Troubleshoot: Inspect seam area: Look closely to determine if stitching is unraveling or if the seam tape is peeling. Check for tension: Ensure all tent poles are fully extended but not overextended, which can put stress on the fabric. Dry completely before storing: Moisture can weaken seam tape or stitching over time. Small Holes in the Floor Tarp, Possible Causes: The tent was pitched on rough terrain without a ground cloth or footprint. Therefore, use a footprint or tarp: Always place a ground cloth under the tent when camping to protect the floor.

Thank you, and please stay safe! Coleman Consumer Care
Easy Assembly!
I got this for free in exchange of my honest opinion. I have to say I was surprised how easy is to assemble this tent! It comes with a bag for storage. I poured some water and it did not come through! Great quality and 100% recommended!

What a great tent!
I’m so happy I got this tent! 🥰 It is very easy to put up! Once you get it out of the bag and in place, it more or less just pops up on its own, and then you just have to stake it down, and add the rain canopy and secure that. It also comes with a small tarp/mat that you can put in front of the tent to help prevent tracking in dirt and such, and that was a really nice added touch! It has four windows for ventilation which was great, and a few side pockets for storage. We didn’t experience any sort of bad weather, but I think the rain canopy would have worked wonderfully if we did. It captured a lot of debris/bugs so they weren’t directly on the tent. We had a queen size air mattress in there, and we still had more than enough room for all of our bags and supplies and room to be able to walk around freely in there (it was just my husband and I staying in the tent). Tearing it down was a little difficult, just because we weren’t sure how it was supposed to be folded back up, but we got there! The bag it comes in makes it very easy to transport. Also a big fan of the color scheme!
