This Coleman 8-person red canyon tent review serves to inform happy campers who wish to learn about the benefits of this product.
The Coleman brand is a leader in camping gear that lasts, and is a classic to many outdoor adventurers. In particular, the 8-person red canyon tent has had a constant slur of good reviews, and is a must for any camp that houses 8 people of more. In fact, its popularity extends to families of just 4 for its extra roominess and comfort.

Plenty of Space
The red canyon tent was designed with a large group in mind. It has a higher ceiling than many of its kind, the center part being 6 feet high. Also, its entire floor area is covered by canvas.
At 22.4 pounds, the 8-person Red Canyon tent actually weighs lighter than the 6-person Coleman weathermaster tent, which weighs 32 pounds. Furthermore, while the Red Canyon offers 3 separate rooms, the 6-person tent only offers 2 rooms and has a floorless area on the end.
Weathertec System
Coleman has left no stone unturned with its patented Weathertec system. This system ensures that the tent walls, as well as airflow screens and zipper enclosures are weather proof. As with all camping trips, one must use Rainguard spray in order to completely seal the pores against heavy rains. You can purchase Camp Dry on Amazon for this purpose.
Once you spray the polyurethane-coated walls, you can feel confident that you and your clan will be shielded against excess moisture and flooding. The curved roof will funnel water and prevent it from accumulating on the top and creating a heavy pool.
Coleman 8-Person Red Canyon Tent Reviews
The Red Canyon fits 3 matresses; one queen sized, one full sized, and one twin.
My wife and I set up the tent easily. During our camping trip, it started to rain, and not 1 drop entered our tent.
Our family of 4 has taken out this tent in all weather conditions: rain, hot, windy, cold…etc. So far, it has held up very well and met our expectations.
It poured for hours, and the tent remained completely dry on the inside.

Coleman 8-Person Red Canyon Tent: Verdict
If you are using this tent in snow, rocky ground, or on sand, I would suggest that you purchase a separate set of steel stakes. As with any tent, the stakes are sufficient but not the best.
Make sure to spray the tent with Camp Dry, or other water repellant. It also helps to lay a tarp beneath the tent in order to help maintain the newness of the tent floor.
