Coleman Canyon Tent Review

Coleman 8-Person Red Canyon Tent

By: Camping Guidance

The Coleman Canyon Tent is a great option for those looking for a spacious and easy to set up tent. The Red Canyon 8-Person Tent took me about 20 and a half minutes to set up on my own, while the Montana 8-Person Tent took me 22 minutes. The Montana took me slightly longer for two reasons. First, I had these two extra fiberglass poles to fix up the hinged D-door. There's one pole for the straight side of the door, and the other one is for the curved side of the door. And second, I also had to set up the rainfly pole. The Red Canyon 8-Person Tent has two room dividers, while the Montana does not have any. The Montana 8-Person Tent has a nice little porch area, which measures about 103 inches in length, and about 32 inches in width, and this is something the Red Canyon does not have. The Montana 8-Person Tent also has an e-port at the bottom of the tent with a zippered closure, which the Red Canyon does not have.

For hot day ventilation, the better ventilated 8-Person Tent on a hot day is the Red Canyon, with ceiling mesh, plus four more windows, for a total of about 3,300 square inches of window ventilation. For rainy day ventilation, both tents did not do very well. While the Red Canyon 8-Person Tent has three vents inside the tent, they are all pretty tiny, so there's not a lot of ventilation. And as for my Montana tent, this does not have any ventilation at all, because no windows can be opened, and there are also no vents.

For portability, the Montana 8 is not only a little bit heavier, but also a little bulkier than the Red Canyon 8. The Montana weighs 23.4 pounds, while the Red Canyon weighs 20.2 pounds. Also, the Montana has a packed size of 26 by 15 by 12 inches, which is about 30% bigger than the Red Canyon's packed size of 24 by 14 by 10 inches.
