This tent was so perfect for my family. Easy to set up and tear down in no time. Thankfully I paid attention to how it was folded so I could fold back up and make it fit back in the bag. I love it!!!

Ripped during first use
The tent was pretty good except the loop attaching the poles to the tent ripped off immediately the first time we set up the tent. I’m going to try to fix it myself because we like the tent overall.

Spacious, easy to set up
We've taken this tent out twice now and we love it, taking it out again for a week-long trip tomorrow. Set-up isn't too bad for a tent this size. The attached-pole concept is great and definitely helps when packing it back up. The only thing, we wish the bottom of the sides of the fly (under the Coleman logo on both sides) had attached guy strings so we could guy the bottom of the fly away from the tent for (a) further rain protection and (b) better ventilation inside the tent. We can make that alteration ourselves, though. We ordered this one along with the Weathermaster 6-person tent and ultimately chose this Skydome over the Weathermaster. More space inside, smaller pack size, easier to set up.

Tent Not Big Enough
Tent got wet inside and could only really fit a twin air mattress and full size bean bag. Advertised as 3 queen size bed fit but there was not enough room.

Hi Owen, Thank you for contacting Coleman, The Outdoor Company, and for taking the time to provide feedback on our Coleman® Skydome™ 8-Person Camping Tent XL, Blue Nights. We are sad that the tent became wet inside and that only a twin air mattress and a full-sized bean bag actually fit inside, despite the fact that it was advertised as fitting three queen-sized beds. I am aware of how undesirable the circumstances are. Please be advised that waterproof materials do not 100% translate to a waterproof tent. The waterproofing of the tent is measured by our rain testing, which simulates a 6" per hour rain. To make our tents as waterproof as possible we tape all of the rainfly seams, use our WeatherTec inverted seams in other area, and use a patented welding process. We also enhance storm worthiness by our rainfly designs. Specifically our rainfly's extend in such a way that runoff or dripping water is unlikely to fall on a door or window area when the tent is properly setup and guyed. Last we use polyester tent bodies and rainfly's, which adds inherent waterproofing as polyester is a hydrophilic (water-fearing/shedding/repelling) material. By consistently improving our services and products, we fervently strive for such customer satisfaction. As we are looking for ways to better our product and service, we always ensure that consumers' feedback and concerns are shared. You may also visit the Coleman website if you have any further questions or concerns about your product.

Great updates but one HUGE downgrade
Love everything about this tent - had borrowed from friends for the past few years and decided to finally buy my own. I foolishly didn’t look too carefully before buying assuming the tent was the same as the old version but with a new fly colour, only to discover THE ‘SWINGING DOOR’ (that’s supported by a pole) as been removed?!? Now the door is just a regular zipper door, without the ‘swinging open/closed’ capabilities! This was honestly the BEST feature of the original tent, and when camping with toddlers SO SO awesome to allow them easy access/exit while still keeping bugs out. I can’t believe they would remove this feature - now my toddler gets the zipper stuck basically every time he tries to go in or out. I was devastated they would remove the swinging door. SUCH an amazing feature of the older version.

Good Pros and Cons
I bought this tent looking to sleep 4 adults on 2 queen mattress blowups and have room in the middle for 3 small dogs. It definitely was the perfect size for that as we put the beds on each side and a table in the middle with the dog beds underneath - the size was perfect. The tent does set up very quickly as others have mentioned. We had a huge rain storm on our camping trip and it dumped water on us but we all stayed dry. When we packed up there was probably about 1/2 - 1 cup of water in little puddle spread throughout the tent (I posted photos) we were pleased with this. My 2 big complaints are 1. The little flap that goes over the zipper to keep water out gets stuck EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. so going in the tent is kind of a pain. 2. Because the sides of the tent are slanted it doesn't fit 2 queen airbeds that well. With the beds on each side of the tent the walls are slanted so much that you can't use the last foot of bed closet to the wall without having tent literally on your face. You also can't push the mattress towards the middle of the tent more because then you would block the door. The photo looks like the airbed is shoved really hard in to the outside wall but it's not, it's just the walls of the leaning in too much. See photos. Because of this the next tent I buy I would look for either a longer tent or one that didn't have slanted walls.
