Customers have negative opinions about the zipper of the tent. They mention that it's hard to close at the top due to the rain fly poles stretching the zipper. They also say that the zippers tend to hang up at the midpoint of the door. Customers also mention that the seams of the zipper tend to separate, making it difficult to zip the door and the inner roof windows cannot be closed.
"...I do see that a zipper at the door was under tension and could wear out earlier than expected- but time will tell!Overall great roomy tent." Read more
"...The windows on the sides also do not seal so again, wind could blow rain up and inside...." Read more
"...The zipper on the door started sticking the first year or two so we just used the other zipper and were careful when opening the fly for the past..." Read more

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I read a lot of reviews and searched high and low for the best value before purchasing this tent. The Coleman Red Canyon was in my price range and appeared to meet my needs. I wanted an eight-person tent that would comfortably hold two queen-sized mattresses plus have space around for extra stuff. On paper, this tent definitely fits the bill!
The package arrived faster than I expected and the integrity of the packaging was in good condition. I haven't camped with this tent yet, but I didn't want too many days to pass without at least putting it together in the back yard, and checking for any missing parts, so that's what I decided to do. I bought a fairly inexpensive heavy tarp to go under the tent. Because of the unusual footprint, I purchased a 10x20 foot heavy duty tarp which I marked up and later cut down to the size of the fully assembled tent. That part was easy! NOTE: when camping, you want your tarp to either be exactly the size of your tent footprint or else slightly smaller to avoid puddling of rainwater.
Assembling the tent probably took us somewhere around 30-40 minutes the first time. Since we weren't in a hurry, we flubbed a few steps and had to backtrack. The instructions were simple and mostly easy to follow, but a few of the steps could have been made a little more clear. I like that the instructions are stitched into the bag! It was also a windy day ... so that slowed us down as well. At least the instructions didn't blow away. Once we had the poles in the correct holes, the tent came together easily and quickly. We will definitely be faster at it next time. In my opinion, this tent is a two-person job unless you're an experienced camper. And if you're bringing a tent this size, you've probably got extra hands on deck to help with this process. Two people can get it done with relative ease! I would be challenged to assemble this tent alone, but I'm no expert.
Once assembled, the tent easily withstood some decent breezes in my back yard. It was a fairly windy day. It wasn't raining, so I will have to experience the weatherproof features at a later date. Attaching all of the guy lines would add further stability, but it felt plenty stable without. This is one SPACIOUS tent! You will be proud and your friends will be jealous. With the rain tarp off, this tent is also quite open and airy. There are plenty of windows to make this big tent feel light and bright. I am 5'11" and can stand comfortably in most of the tent. The edges taper down, so putting beds at the corners with a common area in the middle would work perfectly. The zipper was reasonable to open and close. Time will tell if it holds up to repeated camping trips. I trust the Coleman brand and expect that it's designed for many years of repeated use. We didn't assemble the side curtains to create the "rooms" inside, but the anchor points were all there, If I was camping with kids or bashful friends, the ability to close off both side sections of the tent would be quite handy. There are two small storage bags built into the sides of the tent to hold small items on the inside of the tent. The upper mesh bin would easily hold a light or a few more small items that you wanted off the floor. Our first impressions of the tent are that it is a good value, good quality, and we are eager to try it out it on a camping trip!
Taking the tent down happened in half of the time or less from putting it up. I would estimate that we had it down and packed in fifteen minutes. The tent fit back into the bag with very little drama. It's a snug fit, so definitely squeeze out the air and roll it tightly. Also, I had a borrowed tent to compare to and the stuffed bag was no larger than a much smaller 4-person REI tent ... so I think it's an efficient packaging accomplishment.
With all of the good news aside, I can only think of a few downsides to this tent. First all, I wouldn't want to backpack with this tent. It's compact enough in the bag, but I wouldn't want to carry it very far because it felt rather heavy to me. Secondly, the diameter of the assembly poles and the amount of bending really had my buddy worried as we assembled this tent. I was a little less concerned. I think the poles are fiberglass and should withstand some abuse. They're meant to bend, right? Again, time will tell. The smallest poles cover the rain-fly on the front of the tent. I am hoping they all hold up well. Since I don't have significant experience with tents, I can't say if this is normal or not. Nothing broke during assembly, so there's that! In my estimation, this tent is an excellent value!
So if you're looking for an attractive, large, reasonably priced tent that will be the envy of the campgrounds, this might be your tent!
Overall great roomy tent.
I bought this to replace our old Red Canyon Tent when it got damaged (not due to workmanship or materials). It was old when we bought it second-hand, and we got many more years of use out of it. I looked around at other large capacity tents, but this one had the best set of features for the price. Its rain fly coverage is better than most of the high-capacity tents I considered. Ideally, I'd want a rain fly that goes all the way to the ground, but having owned an earlier version of this model previously, I knew we'd never had problems with water entering--even in some crazy bad weather. The heavier, tarp-like bottom is very durable. That said, I still typically set up with another tarp (or "footprint") under the main body of the tent, just to limit wear-and-tear and to keep the bottom cleaner for a quicker tear-down.
What else can I say? We're a large family, and we put a strain on tents I love that this one give you options. Set it up as one big room, or put up the dividers and you have up to three rooms (they make one on each end {left and right of the door} and one in the middle). There's room to stand in the middle for most people (I'm 5'8" and I still had plenty of head space). When our kids were very little, we'd have a portable playpen set up inside. Now we typically have an inflatable queen mattress on one end, with plenty of room for sleeping pads and sleeping bags in the rest of the tent. The attachable gear loft is useful, as are the additional mesh pockets on the sides. We don't use the little pet door at the rear, but I can see how those of you with little dogs would find it useful.
One improvement made with this most recent model is that they made the front welcome mat/mud tarp detachable (our previous one had it permanently affixed). Now, if it gets really dirty, you can pick it up and wash it away from the tent, rather than trying to clean it while people still may need to come in and out.
To get the best protection and performance in stormy weather, be sure to use every stake point, and use all possible guy-lines.
Also, to keep your tent in top shape as long as possible, remember these tips:
- Don't let people climb in and out with the door unzipped only part way on the long vertical side. Open it all the way to the top. The area around where the side panels change color puts the hardest lateral pull on the zipper. Opening it only that far, and then having people move the door flap out of the way adds to that stress and increases the chance you might damage the zipper.
- When you break camp, if the tent isn't going to be set up again very soon, let your tent dry before you roll it up. If you roll (or stuff it) while wet, and then forget to dry it out when you get home, you'll have problems with mildew. It can lead to a musty smell, unsightly spots, and (in the most extreme cases) holes in your tent. If you must pack up a wet tent, be sure to air it out when you get home. You can set it up in a sunny space, or hang it (we hang it from our deck, but you could hang it from a tree or clothes line).
- Bring a broom and sweep out your tent before you pack it away. If you pack it up with dirt and sand inside, it will act like little bits of sandpaper and wear away at the materials.
- Avoid eating in your tent, or keeping food in your tent, especially if you'll be in bear country. Smells from dripped or spilled foods can stick around a long time, and animals' noses are often far more sensitive than ours.
- If you're not too concerned about privacy, its warm enough, and you know that rain isn't likely, consider leaving the rain fly off. It makes set up and tear down quicker, and it will let you watch the sky while protected from the bugs. Just keep the fly and stakes in the bag near the door, in case you need to put up the fly quickly due to unexpected changes in the weather.
- Check the ground where you plan to set up your tent before you do it: remove any noticeable rocks, sticks, or anything that might damage the tent floor or make your sleep uncomfortable.
- If setting up in or adjacent to a wooded area, look around for dead trees that could blow over or fall onto your tent, and be sure to look up for any live trees with dead branches hanging above you. You don't need a lot of wind for dead wood to come down! My wife and I were sitting in camp on a quiet summer afternoon when we suddenly heard a couple of cracks before a large limb dropped not far from where we were sitting. It makes sense to look up before you place a tent, or your chairs!
- MOST IMPORTANT: Be sure to set it up once at home before you head out, even if you've set it up before. It's a great way to remind yourself how to set it up, and to make sure you have all of the stakes and poles together (especially if you broke camp in a hurry during your last adventure).

Nice and spacious but flimsy. Struggled with a little wind, pegs kept coming out of the ground etc.
Set up on a slight slope, woke up in the middle of the night and there are little pools of water from the rain. Runs in from the seams along the bottom. Not impressed at all.

ワンタッチで設営できるものを使っていて、楽だったんですがワンタッチの部分が調子悪くなってしまったので今回は組み立て式にしました。
8人までいけるということでかなり大きいのを想像していましたが、そこまで大きすぎず、大人の男4人でかばん等の荷物を入れてもゆったり使えるという感じで、割とちょうどいいです。
組み立てが英語表記なので多少わかりにくいですが、一度できれば大丈夫だと思います。
片付けに関してはキャンプ道具あるあるですが、袋に入れるのが大変なのでもう少し入れやすいサイズにして頂けると尚良いかなと思います。
見た目もカッコイイので気に入りました。大事に使おうと思います。
