Plus, the extra height makes moving around inside the tent easier. TakeOutdoors.com is built for all types of campers by regular campers. We have in-depth guides for you to start a pleasant camping trip and to avoid animals you don’t want to see. The set up also take some time as the poles are not pre-attached. You will have to extend the poles then put them in sleeves and attach the tent body to the poles.

The tent has two small, internal pockets—fewer than on any of our other picks—and a loop at the ceiling center to hang a small, lightweight lantern or other light. The tent weighs just 16 pounds, less than any other family tent we tested for this guide. The boxy shape of the Copper Canyon is not great in high winds, and the tent’s stakes are the opposite of heavy-duty. We surmised, perhaps accurately, that only the weight of our bodies inside the tent prevented it from ripping out of the ground and blowing away with the biggest gusts of one Pacific Coast windstorm.

That gives you a lot of room to maneuver both inside and around the tent. Even if you’re new to camping and not seeking any extreme-weather adventures, you’ll still need something that can withstand whatever the elements decide to throw your way. The tents we discuss here are designed to keep you comfortable in three seasons; as we touch on later, hardcore winter campers should invest in equipment specifically designed for those conditions.

Still, the Hooligan is one of the best-made tents in the Coleman lineup, and also one of the least expensive. Try it out, and if you love it, consider building it up with better components. By combining a fully seam-taped rainfly with fabric shielded zippers, welded bathtub style floors, and inverted seams, the WeatherMaster is genuinely well protected from the rain. We also love that Coleman included their nifty “pop-out” style windows on the WeatherMaster (10 person model only) to allow campers to maintain both the view and good ventilation when caught in a proper downpour.

It is possible but might be a little bit hard all on your own, an extra person to help could be better. No, a footprint is not included and there is not one available to purchase separately made by Coleman. When we determine the valuation of a single tent, we examine tons of stuff, finding things where the tent could perform well against other similar tents and where it is lacking. The Copper Canyon LX 6 is the least-expensive option in a line that also includes Eureka’s similar Jade Canyon X6.
