Coleman Tent Darwin 2-4 Person | Compact Lightweight Dome Tent | Models with Darkened Bedroom | Camping, Festival and Hiking Tent | 4500mm Waterproof | with Sewn-in Groundsheet

I recently took the Coleman Darwin 3 Plus BlackOut tent to download and couldn’t be more pleased. Setup is fast and intuitive. The standout feature is the BlackOut Bedroom design: it blocks allegedly up to 99% of daylight, id say it's bit less but definitely means you can sleep in until your alarm, and it keeps the tent interior up to ~5 °C cooler during hot afternoons. I don't know if it's exactly the 5° stated by Coleman but even a couple degrees makes a big difference from 24° to 21° it's definitely noticeable.Plus, with a 4 500 mm hydrostatic head, SPF 50 UV protection, a porch area for muddy boots and good ventilation, it’s built for festivals. It fits a double air bed with room at the side for bags and a good size source for chairs or cool box. Overall, it’s a great mid-size, festival-ready tent that strikes a solid balance between comfort, convenience, and blackout performance

The Coleman Darwin tent was delivered quickly and in perfect condition, and it’s been a fantastic addition to our family camping gear. It’s super easy to pitch, waterproof, and ideal for weekend trips. My two young sons were thrilled when it arrived—they couldn’t wait to set it up and turned it into their own little fort in the garden. They even begged to sleep in it that very night! The front porch area is great for keeping their backpacks and muddy boots out of the main space. Solid build, good ventilation, and excellent value—we’re really pleased with it.

Used for the first time weekend just gone with a friend. First time setting up did take us around 20 minutes as not experts, but both agreed next time would take half that time. Space inside is superb, snug for 4 people but used as 2 for this stay and so much spare room. Porch fantastic for storage/bags. Ventilation is OK but main priority is keeping rain out which it certainly is after we endured a 30 min heavy downpour. Would advise on eye-mask for sleeping as not built great to keep sun out. Fully recommend for all you first time campers as very affordable option for features included!

I used this tent in the Highlands of Scotland during gale force winds and thought that it was going to break and collapse due to the weather. But it didn't and I'm still amazed at how well it stood up to the wind and rain during the storm. Bone dry inside and although it was blown out of shape, come the morning I was dry and the tent was still standing and back to it's regular shape. Can't recommend it enough. Really happy with my purchase and look forward to more camping trips away with the boys. Other things to note are it was easy enough to pitch and only took me around 15 minutes to have it fully up. It's also very roomy and had plenty of room for all my gear. My only gripe was that the porch bit of the tent was flooded, but given that there was a full on storm with gale force winds, I can't really fault the tent for that.

Nice, quite small tent. Just be aware of the measurements (it is not so spacy inside as might be expected for 3 people). Quite good for 2 persons, but no more;)

Best tent ever. I never leave amazon reviews but I needed to share my experience as I found tent shopping very stressful! I purchased this tent for a 4 night trip to Silverstone in July 24. I was going on my own, I hadn't camped since I was 12 & was clueless to what I needed and how to put up a tent. This tent is worth every penny and more. Firstly the tent is super easy to put up. I'm 5ft1 was on my own & managed to put the tent up quite quickly with no issues. I did practice twice at home, instructions fairly clear. Its light weight to carry and transport. The main thing - durability. This tent was one of the few that survived the worst downpour & storms last July. For content It was thundering, severe winds of 40 mph+ & the camp side flooded - a lot of people actually had to go home because their tents were submerged in water but this little tent didn't leak or collapse!! Very expensive tents ended up getting abandoned and the air tents collapsing. The wind was so bad the corporate clamping tents blew away but not this thing!! Im still in disbelief that it didn't flood! Now if a review says the tent leaked there's one of two reasons. Either 1. It was damaged prior to putting it up. 2. It wasn't put up right. As with all tents I would recommend sitting it on an extra groundsheet. The only issue I had was water coming into the entrance mat because theres a small gap but thats a design flaw on a lot of tents. But if youre looking for a festival tent this is the one! Sizing wise it is small. Two adults will only just fit in comfortably, I'd recommend sizing up if you have a lot of bags or don't have anywhere else to put clothes (i.e a car).

First things first: yes, we got water in the porch area (from one side only) but there was a storm and the wind was blowing really hard. Having said that. During that same storm we kept dry and cosy in the actual sleeping compartment. The tent is great, we love our space so we actually got the 4-person one for just two of us which was very useful in a situation where we had to spend lots of time in there shielding away! Super easy to erect, super easy to take down and pack away. Just fab all round. The porch area is super useful, during the storm it did provide that very much needed transitional space that's neither outdoors nor indoors. Perhaps there is something we could do to seal it even better but with the way the wind was blowing I'd say we got very little water in there! My only advice would be to not assume the porch is a place to dump any valuables or anything you don't want to get wet, but why would you?

Likes - fairly compact, quick and easy to put up (inner first and chuck the outer cover over), most importantly warm and dry. This was tested in bonnie Scotland's finest of gale and pouring rain for 24 hours straight. Wind proof too. Didn't feel a draft inside as the gales howled by. Dislikes- I ordered the 3 plus expecting a reasonable amount of space. I had 2 single air beds inside and there wasn't a chance we could fit even half of a third one in so it's deffo a 2 man with a little space unless you want to be really up in each others face as a 3. The outer porch area if you like isn't sealed off due to the outer layer going over the top so anything at the edges sticks out under the top cover and got wet in the rain/not "secure". The elastic toggles on the outer layer are glued together, 2 of them broke on first use due to the severe winds - luckily I noticed and just tied them back together. Overall, disappointed with the size but it did the job well for my partner and I. I won't be able to use it with my niece and nephew as well though as originally hoped but I'd definitely recommend with this in mind and buy another Coleman product as a result.
