Great for first time campers

5 out of 5 stars

Great for first time campers
This is the first family tent that I've bought other than a backyard pop-up. Size: it fits four people well with air mattresses at either end. I can see fitting 6 people in a row lengthwise, but it's hard to see how 8 people could fit unless no one used air mattresses and you were side by side like sardines. Interior space: The center has a good amount of head space, if you put the sleeping bags at either end, it makes a comfortable space. There is a side pocket on either end to store things and a light hook at each end and in the center. The zip opening for an electric cord is handing, although it would be nice to have one on the other side as you either have to orient the tent towards the outlet or have a long extension cord. I really like the structure to the door. Set up and take down: it's easy to put up once you know where everything goes. There were a couple of steps on the instructions that were a little confusing, basically everything connects to the silver rings. Once you understand that, it's easy. The take down only takes about 5 minutes. The hard part is folding it to get back in the case. The first time we used it, I was able to get the tent back into the case, but there is no way the rain fly was going back in. The second time, I couldn't even get the tent in and zipped. There must be a trick to getting all the air out and it flat enough, but I haven't figured it out yet. Weathering the elements: We've used this twice. The first time, it stood up under very windy conditions. The tents of people around us were collapsing, but this little tent held up to the winds. We haven't used it in rain yet. Edited May 2018: We took this out on a trip in some Houston rains and I didn't notice any leaking at all. Packing up, I asked another camper the trick to getting a tent rolled up tight enough to get it back in the case. The trick is the tent poles. Lay down your tent pole bag at the end of the tent and fold the tent in thirds so that the folded tent is no wider than the tent pole bag. Then place your pole bag at the end of the tent and begin to slowly roll up the tent, allowing the weight of the poles to push the air out of the tent. The experienced camper told me it was important to go slow and not force the air out or it could damage the tent. Since the tent is a rectangular dome, there will be more tent in the center, so you have to be sure to keep folding in the extra as you roll up to it. The trick is when you come to the other end. Since it has a tub bottom, all the air will be pushed ballooning up that waterproof (and airproof) area. There will be no place for the air to escape. To get the last bit of air out, roll back the end you've been rolling over the stakes until you come to the end wall window. Next roll up the end you've been trying to reach, which is ballooned up. So the pole end is just unrolled to the window and the opposite end is rolling TO the window, pushing out all the trapped air. Unroll the end with the poles to the opposite end again. If there is still too much air, repeat until the whole thing will roll flat. I had to do this three times, but in the end everything fit. I was able to fit everything back into the case completely with room to spare.

    Color: BlueStyle: 8-personVerified Purchase

    As an adult who has just recently returned to the world of camping (I am a leader in my son's cub scout pack), I looked at LOTS of tent options before choosing the Coleman Montana 8 person tent. I checked out reviews on Amazon and CampMor, and talked to as many camping enthusiast friends as I could. My first year in scouting, I borrowed a Eureka 2-person tent from our local boy scout troop, which came up to (maybe) my waist, and just barely fit my full-sized air mattress. After struggling to change clothing while lying down (I could barely kneel, let alone stand), and suffering through a fairly sleepless/stuffy night in the Eureka tent, I decided that the following features were necessary for comfortable camping:
    1. The ability to stand up fully. This meant that any tent I chose had to have a center height of at least 72", preferably more (my husband is 6 feet tall, and if I ever want him to join us camping, the tent needs to work for him too. The Montana 8 has a center height of 84" (7 feet).
    2. Room for gear and at least two full/queen sized air mattresses. Although the Montana 8 states that there's room for 8 people, the diagram shows these 8 people sleeping in mummy bags very close together. From a comfort perspective, this tent will hold 4-5 people (and their gear) at a maximum, without feeling overly crowded. For the three of us, this fits the bill nicely.
    3. Intuitive and easy to set up and take down. While I like camping, I am not an avid camper. Finding a tent that can be set up (and taken down) with only help from a 9 year old was key, and this fits the bill nicely.
    4. Good cross-ventilation. After sleeping in a stuffy tent once, I didn't want to repeat the experience. Three windows (the two side windows and the door window) can be rolled down to allow for good air flow and ventilation. We rolled the windows down 1/3 of the way, which provided a very comfortable cross-breeze while sleeping.
    5. Waterproof with a bathtub floor. Many of the reviewers stated that they had no problems with leaks along the seams without using any waterproofing sealant. After talking with others and reading some recommendations, I used the Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellent to spray the seams prior to our first use, as added protection. We had some light rain during the evening, and much heavier rain the next morning, and the inside of the tent stayed bone dry.
    6. Quality. I wanted a tent that would stand up to occasional car camping trips, without having to be replaced on a regular basis. Coleman is a recognized brand, and after talking with folks who own Coleman tents and reading the reviews, I was convinced that this tent would be a good one for our family. So far, I'm pleased!
    6. Price. Given that we don't do a lot of camping, I didn't want to spend hundreds on a tent. I purchased the Montana 8 in Blue (not the Elite) from Amazon in mid-May 2015, and paid $136.48; a surprisingly low price for this particular tent model/size.
    Some nice features that this tent offers (that weren't on my list of must-haves):
    1. A port for electrical/extension cords. While this tent does not have electricity, it does include a port near the door that allows campers to run an extension cord into the tent (for use with lanterns, fans, etc.)
    2. A covered entry area. I looked at tents that had screened in areas, but opted for this one instead, choosing to have the extra room inside the tent rather than in a screened area. I had two camp chairs outside – in the evening, when it started to rain, I placed the camp chairs under the front rain fly "awning", on either side of the door. Despite the rain, the chairs stayed mostly dry, with only a few drops of water on them.
    3. A "D door". This door has a pole that threads around the D curve, and another one at the hinge axis, which means that the door can function as a real door in terms of opening/closing, rather than a door that must be zipped open and closed. While there are Velcro closures around the D curve, we found that to keep insects from getting in we still had to zip it shut. However, we liked the easy entry!
    All in all, my family and I are very pleased with our new tent, and look forward to many years of use!

    Color: BlueStyle: 8-personVerified Purchase

    We needed to upgrade from our previous tent and go this one. It's a big tent! We are a family of 5 and a dog. We used 4 Cots and a pack n play so we could stash our gear under them, but I wouldn't put more than 5 people in this tent with any more gear.
    It's really nice to be able to stand up straight in the tent and the hinged door is a great bonus. Only negative thing I currently have about the door is that it is a big step to get over the side of the tent to get in. So if you have little kids or mobility issues, it will be a struggle until the kids get bigger. But it wasn't really that big of a deal for us.
    I have set this up 3 times. Once with another person and Twice on my own. Easily doable on your own. Doesn't take that much more time either.
    I looked at the elite version for a long time before purchasing this tent. I didn't think the extras were worth the cost. We purchased our own lamp that we hung in the middle of the tent on the hook and it worked just fine. And the windows are so small, the self rolling feature wouldn't have made much of a difference.
    We camped when it was dry so I have nothing to add about waterproofing except I bought some water guard and seam sealer. Will update in the future if we camp during the rainy season.

    When the transmission went out on my truck and I couldn't take my camper on our camping trip, I needed an inexpensive tent that would comfortably sleep at least 5 people. I've always owned Coleman tents because I love how well they hold up to stormy weather, and this one fit the bill.
    For a last-minute purchase, this thing is AWESOME! We set it up in our yard before the trip, and my 11yo daughter and I had it up in less than 30 min. It's really simple to set up, other than the rain fly was a bit tricky the first time. It's also HUGE. We had a queen size air mattress in one end, a full size air mattress on the other, a dog bed, a camp toilet for the littles, and gear scattered everywhere and still had floor space left. It's also really tall inside, and you can stand up through most of the tent.
    It rained two of the nights we were there and not a drop found its way inside. The extra little "awning" the rain fly provides was a really nice addition – we left shoes outside the tent and they didn't get wet in the rain, and there was just enough space to put a camp chair on either side of the door (although if it had been windy we would have gotten wet sitting there).
    The only thing I'm not 100% thrilled about is the door. It's clever in theory, but in reality didn't work particularly well for us. The velcro didn't line up very well and the extra zippers made it frustrating to find your way out in the middle of the night to pee.
    TIPS
    – Set up the two side poles first, then the ones that cross in the middle
    – Put the pole in the rain fly before attaching to the tent
    – Make sure the rain fly is staked tightly enough that it doesn't sag and provide a place for water to pool (this will cause it to leak into the tent if it rains)
    – Follow the directions for the door and put the vertical pole in first
    – Tuck in (or remove) the zipper pulls on the zippers for the door poles so you aren't constantly grabbing the wrong ones
