Coleman Tent Coastline 3 Plus, compact 3 man tent, 3 person tunnel tent, lightweight camping tent with awning and windows, Waterproof thanks to 3,000mm water column

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!

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 purchased this tent for long weekends at Star Parties, the tent is reasonably high quality construction and materials make it very usable. With the tent not being to big it makes it cosy and easier to warm up inside. For its size it is quite spacious with a sleeping compartment that has plenty of room for two. The storage area is a reasonable size though with all your kit stowed away in there, there is just enough room to sit. The issues I have are as follows.. Well not issues more like annoying niggles. it is a pig to put up by yourself and it does not like uneven ground. I erected it on my lawn which has a slight dip to one side. Because of this It took me just over a hour to get the tension on the guides just right to enable me to zip up the front awning. It is advisable to use a candle to wax the zips to assist in the closing, especially the curved sections of the side panels. The ground sheet sides of the storage/porch area are a bit sloppy and do not quite fit. there is also a pegging point missing on the ground sheet which doesn't help with the fitting. My remedy was to use Velcro It would also have been nice if Coleman had incorporated flaps to cover the windows to stop straying eyes.

I needed to get a larger tent as my child is now the size of an adult! We tested it this weekend and there was plenty of room for three - normally when you buy a tent, if it says three man , its really only suitable for two and so on. BUT this tent is actually big enough for three. I am experienced camper so I found this easy to put up on my own, but if you have not camped before an extra pair of hands would be good (the instructions are in the bag and you can watch a tutorial on you tube). I did not rain but the tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm which gives me confidence (my old tent had this rating and got me through some pretty awful weather). When I put it back in the bag, i left the bedroom and ground sheet attached and it all went back in the bag easily (if you are not experienced camper there are videos on you tube about how to pack away a tent - this might sound silly but worth watching). The porch area has a ground sheet - this is great for storing gear. If it rained it would not be too bad hunkering down in there as a group of three. The porch has three doors so you not be clambering over each other to dash to the loo. Overall this is an excellent tent at a good price that will see you through many camping trips in the glorious brittish weather

Very good tent used it for a festival fit me and my fiance perfect, we had plenty of space for our bags, a lil square table and 2 camping chairs in the lil front area, small cooler area for our shoes it was great and we had some heavy rain, wind and it handles it fine, ventilation was good as well, we put up the tent in 15-20 minutes, taking it down though in rain was not fun you need to wrap it up perfectly or it won't fit fully in the bag, it's good though as long as you know how to pack it it fits, I really liked the side pockets on each side on inside as well very handy to hold stuff you don't want to lose but may need at night.

Great tent. I have used it for 3 years now. Inner room kept out all midges on first trip, though mosquitos will slip in at dusk if it is left open - always using the zip for a minute pays off. First main holiday was a week in the Lake District when many were cancelling. The Eskdale site was flooded when we arrived. Given a dryish spot next to a stone wall and had no leaks. Porch ground sheet kept food dry despite finding a big puddle underneath when we packed up. Opening doors from top not bottom prevented run off into tent during heavy downpours.Took worst of water off tent with microfibre cloths and only slightly damp when we got home. three of us on that trip were comfortable. Another time shared with teenage daughter and two small dogs in Atlantic winds on Irish beach site. Very sturdy. Any condensation disappears if ventilated during breakfast. Inner room is noticabley warmer than outdoors in the morning. Not counting guy ropes, takes up same volume of space as my Clio Mark III car - roomy enough for two chairs and a camping table in the porch and careful cooking (though instructions say no cooking for fire), but don't expect to stand up straight in it. Dogs are able to get under porch but not out of inner room. I use a spiral stake and their leads. I found it simple and quick to erect and take down, but some friends needed help.

This should be a good tent but mine was badly let down by the use of low-quality eyelets that receive the poles. All 3 eyelets along 1 side of my tent were badly pressed with a significant amount of excess brass left in their centres which prevented the ends of the poles locating properly. Unfortunately, I discovered this on a 3-night camp 125 miles away from home because I stupidly hadn't done a dry run. Running repairs had to be made on-site with the tools available. I used the small blade of a pocket knife to pare away the brass until the poles fitted. Unfortunately, while doing this, one of the eyelets came apart completely although I was able to get the tent set up with just 1 half of the modified eyelet in-situ. On the positive side, once set up I had no issues with the tent. The sleeping compartment and the porch area are roomy. The tent also remained dry inside despite some prolonged rainfall. The problems I had were very disappointing. This tent isn't in the price range where the use of "Cheapo-Productions" fittings is acceptable. *18/09/2023 Update I've now used this tent three times and it's a write-off. It hasn't been misused, abused or pitched in high winds but another pole eyelet has fallen out of its own accord, one of the tabs on the living area groundsheet detached when being pulled into the corner where it needed to be and one of the poles has splintered. It's not going out with me again - I've had better quality garden tents for the kids. Forget about this one folks. Spend your money elsewhere.

I bought this tent about five years ago. I don't use it very often, which is perhaps why it is still going strong. This is a really good tent for one person who likes a lot of space when they are camping in one place for a week or two. I have camped in it for a fortnight with a suitcase and big rucksack full of equipment, and there's plenty of room for the luggage and my inflatable bed inside the bedroom. It's nice to have the porch area to sit in of an evening, and there's enough headroom for you to sit comfortably without touching the roof. We have used the tent for two people, but that doesn't leave a lot of room for your gear, especially if you are camping for more than a few days. There's easily enough room for a double airbed in the bedroom, and you won't feel like the walls are in your face. Two people can sit comfortably on deck chairs in the porch, although there isn't much room for other camping furniture in there. When we go on longer trips, we take our massive 5 person tent (why camp when you can glamp?), but for short trips, this tent would be fine for two people. I have used this tent in windy weather and with torrential rain, and it stays very stable and completely dry inside. My only concern is the porch groundsheet (which is why this tent gets 4 stars instead of 5 stars). Other reviewers have noted that the groundsheet isn't a perfect fit around the sides, and when the rain is hammering down, some of it is likely to get into the porch. Being very waterproof, puddles form in the porch and your gear gets wet. My solution to this is to not use the porch groundsheet at all. If you do use it, on rainy nights don't leave anything in the porch that objects to getting wet. The good thing is that the porch groundsheet is separate from the bedroom compartment, so that will stay completely dry even if you have a puddle in the porch. The tent is very easy to erect by one person. Stick all the poles through the sleeves first, then peg the tent down at the back, walk the arched poles forward to make a tent shape, and peg it down at the front. You can get the tent up like this in about ten minutes, then stash your stuff inside and spend another twenty minutes pegging and adjusting guy ropes outside. This makes it a good option if you are putting the tent up in rubbish weather. Oh, one last thing. Adults can't stand up in this tent (unless they are exceptionally short), but you don't have to grovel about on your hands and knees. It is tall enough for you to stoop over, which makes it easy to move around, get dressed, and sort out your gear. I cannot be bothered with small tents where you have to crawl about or get dressed lying on your bed. I want a sense of space and freedom of movement, and that's what you get with this tent. Recommended.
