A Tent for the Whole Family

If you aren't worried about carrying a tent 3 or 4 miles off the beaten path, you should look into a big tent. This gives you a lot of room to set up various stuff, and more people can sleep in the tent compared to backpack tents, which barely allow room for one person.

One of the best tents in this category is the Coleman series of instant tents. These tents have the poles built into the tent so there is no fumbling around with inserting poles, trying to make sure they don't come apart, and accidentally snapping.

I have used the Coleman Instant 8 Person Tent on several occasions, and have never had a problem, I can set it up by myself in less than 5 minutes, and take it down by myself too. The tent is very spacious, even with 4 or 5 people in it. You probably wouldn't want to put 8 people in it unless you don't mind being a little cramped. There is also a divider that divides the tent into 2 rooms. The windows are large and can be unzipped to allow air to circulate in hotter months. All in all, if you are looking for a bigger tent, don't care about weight, and want easy set up and take down, look at the Coleman Instant Series of tents.

This is what Coleman says about the tent -
Coleman Instant 8- Person Two Room Tent
The Coleman Instant 8 person 14- by 10- Foot tent is perfect for the family that is looking to get their campsite set up quickly to start enjoying the outdoors. This is an 8 person, two room tent that has straight walls that make standing up in this tent easy with plenty of head room at 6'5" center height. Fully taped seems with 150D fabric allows Coleman to provide the keeps you dry guaranteed without the need to install a rain fly.
