The 5 Best 6 Person Tents

If you’re looking for a great 6 person tent, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve chosen five of the best 6 person camping tents and put together this review just for you.

When you’re going camping, the tent is the most important thing, and it’s crucial to find one that has enough space for six people to sleep in, as well as all your stuff. Not only are all of these tents easy to set up and take down, but they’ve also got lots of other extra features that are incredibly useful too.

Best 6 Person Tents – Top 5

#1 Kodiak Canvas 6 Person Tent

This six person tent by Kodiak Canvas is made out of premium grade, Hydra-Shield, 100% cotton duck canvas which is very durable. A tight weave and silicone finish are what make this tent both waterproof and breathable – ensuring that you won’t find any water leakage, condensation, or humidity inside.

It’s also very spacious, thanks to the steep walls, and it has a 6’6” ceiling height so that anybody can comfortably move around inside. The floor is made with 16 oz polyester-reinforced vinyl with welded seams that is heavy-duty, seamless, and water resistant.

The Flex-Bow frame has 3/8-inch spring steel rods and sturdy 1-inch galvanized steel tube poles that hold up against strong winds.

There are four large windows with no-see-um mesh which ensure insects can’t get inside, while also providing great ventilation. The two meshed funnel-flow vents also help with the air flow and temperature management, keeping you cool when it’s hot.

This lightweight 6 person tent has two large D-shaped doors for easy access, one on the front and the other at the back, and they have heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers.

Suitable for all seasons and made to last, this tent is perfect whether you’re going on a camping or hunting trip not only will this tent keep you protected from the elements, but there’s also plenty of space for all your gear to fit inside as well as 6 people.

Although, it’s not designed for extreme winter mountaineering or heavy snow accumulations.

It’s so easy to set up that one person can manage it by themselves in a couple of minutes once it’s been staked out.

There’s a customizable gear loft and organizer system so that you have plenty of places to keep your things neat and off of the floor, and a large 72 x 78 inch awning that covers the entry and provides shade.

It comes with a strap-and-cinch storage bag to keep your tent inside, making it easy to carry around with you.

This 6 person 4 season tent has dimensions of 10 x 10 feet, and when packed weighs 68 pounds including the stakes, which weigh 6.5 pounds in total.

#2 Coleman WeatherMaster 6 Person Tent

The Coleman WeatherMaster is a 6 person waterproof tent that is so spacious it has enough room for two queen-sized airbeds. It’s dome-shaped, made out of polyester, and weighs 14.5kg. The measurements are 11 x 9 feet, and it has a center height of 6’8”. Not only is there plenty of space, but even if you’re tall you won’t have any issues standing up inside.

There’s a separate floorless screen room, so that you can lounge and not worry about insects thanks to the mesh. Come rain or shine, it provides even more ventilation while keeping you protected from getting wet or the sun’s heat.

The WeatherTec system means that the tent has patented welded floors and inverted seams that make it more weather resistant by hiding needle holes on the inside.

The large D-style door makes it very easy to get in and out, especially because it’s hinged. I’m used to much more flimsy doors, but this kind of door makes it effortless to access the tent even when carrying something like a baby.

Storage pockets are sewn on the side of the tent’s walls so that you can stash items neatly and keep them off of the floor, and there’s a convenient E-Port so that you can run an extension cord inside for electrical power.

There’s plenty more that make this one of the best 6 man tents, such as the frame – which is engineered to be stronger and more wind resistant thanks to the redesigned poles and guy-out triangles. Even the zippers have weather resistant fabric that adds extra protection to the door.

Angled windows improve air circulation while not letting any water in when it rains, and the tent can be separated into two rooms. The front door would access the right room, whereas the rear door enters the left, so that each room would have a door to use.

It’s simple to set up this tent, it can be done in about 20 minutes thanks to the two colour-coded poles, shock-corded fiberglass poles, pin-and-ring design, and InstaClip attachments.

Considering all these great features, this is a very cheap 6 person tent. Easy to pack away into the included carry bag, which has straight-forward instructions sewn right into it. Separate stake and pole bags and a rainfly are also included. The 75-denier polyester taffeta rainfly covers the doors and windows, has fully-taped seams, and incorporates easy-to-use Velcro frame attachments.

The very first time I set it up, it did take me longer than 20 minutes, but that’s because I did it by myself and it was the first time – every time after that it only took ten minutes.

My only complaint is the tent stakes, even though they’re metal they are quite flimsy and it seems like they could easily bend if they’re not staked carefully.

#3 Coleman Cabin Instant Setup Tent

This Cabin Tent by Coleman sets up instantly, in as fast as a minute, and is made from rugged 150D polyester. This tent is freestanding, which means that it can easily be set up anywhere no matter the type of ground, and can be moved if need be.

Inverted seams, as well as welded corners, prevent any water from getting inside, and the integrated rainfly offers more weather protection while also providing ventilation.

This 6 people tent has double-thick fabric which is built to last, and is spacious enough to fit 2 queen-size air beds with an interior of 10 x 9 ft. The center height is 6ft, so it’s easy to stand and walk around inside.

The floor has patented corner welds and inverted seams to ensure that water stays out and you remain completely dry if it rains. It’s easy and quick to set up this tent thanks to the preassembles poles, all you have to do is unfold and secure it. Then, when it’s time to end your camping trip, it packs up into an included expandable carry bag.

An integrated vented rainfly gives you extra protection from rain while also improving airflow, and there’s no need for extra assembly.

There are storage pockets so that you can keep small things neatly organised and avoid clutter all over the floor.

What I don’t like about this tent is that there are only two storage pockets, which is definitely not enough for all 6 people to share them. Apart from that, there are no vestibules so this tent is only good for sleeping inside. As long as the weather permits it, campers will definitely prefer to hang out outside of the tent. Which is fine, but I prefer a tent which is more ‘homely’, so that I can enjoy the time spent inside as well.

#4 Coleman Sundome Tent

This 6 man tent by Coleman comes in the colours green and white or navy blue and grey with some bright green. It’s made from 75-denier polyester taffeta, which is both breathable and durable. The welded corners and inverted seams stop any water from getting in, and an included rainfly provides extra protection.

Coleman’s tents all have very strong frames and are waterproof. They are tested to make sure that they can withstand 35+ MPH winds, and the tents are also subjected to rain tests. Starting from a light drizzle to a heavy downpour, over 35 gallons of water rain onto the tent for over ten minutes. If more than two tablespoons make it inside, then the tent fails the test.

It only takes ten minutes to set up this tent, and the large windows and ground vent provide plenty of fresh air. Plus, there’s an E-Port so that you can easily bring electrical power inside, and mesh pockets that are sewn into the sides of the tent walls are so that you can store things within easy reach.

This freestanding tent has a center height of 4ft, and with an interior of 7 x 5 ft you can fit a queen-size air bed inside.

There are a few things that I don’t like about this tent.

Firstly, it’s a bit too small for 6 people. I prefer to have more room inside, but that’s not even my biggest issue – it’s too short. Now, I am a short person, but this tent is shorter than I am and I prefer to be able to stand up and walk around with ease.

Secondly, there’s only one door, which can get a bit annoying when you’re a group of six campers and more than one person wants to get in or out.

All Coleman tents have a 1-year limited warranty in the case of a defect upon arrival.

#5 OT QOMOTOP 6 Person Camping Tent

This is a 6 person 3 season tent by OT QOMOTOP, that comes in the colour blue and white. It’s an easy and quick instant setup tent, thanks to pre-attached telescoping steel poles, the tent pops up in under a minute. It can be done by one person with just a few short steps.

There’s PU taping on both the rainfly and inner tent seam, and the PE tube floor with welded corners make it impossible for water to leak into the tent.

With a spacious interior of 10 x 9 feet, and a center height of 5 feet and 5 inches, mean that there’s enough space for 2 queen-size airbeds, or for everyone to sleep in sleeping bags comfortably. Even with 6 people, there’s still enough room for all your gear to fit inside, and it’s quite easy to move around.

This 6 person backpacking tent also has an electrical cord port so that you can allow electrical power inside the tent without any extra effort. When the port is not in use it can be fully closed.

The mesh roof ensures that water droplets won’t condense inside the tent overnight. Large windows on all sides also mean that it’s very breathable and provides a lot of ventilation. An adjustable ground vent gives you the ability to be able to regulate the temperature inside.

What I love about this tent is that there’s special green webbing which works as colour coding for the rainfly so that it’s really quick and easy to attach. As well as the ability to be able to take off the rainfly so that you can enjoy the view of the beautiful stars as you fall asleep. Where I live it can get incredibly hot, day or night, so being able to do this helps a lot. Plus, stargazing is a must for me because it makes my camping experience that much better.

Included you’ll find a rainfly, 9 tent stakes, a carry bag, a mud mat, gear pockets, and a gear loft. When packed up this tent weighs 8.6kg.

The storage pockets can be found on the top and side of the tent so that you can keep small items organised. I used the top storage bag to hold my tablet so that I could watch videos while lying down comfortably.

Taking this tent down is as easy as it is to set up. Just remember to leave the door unzipped so that any trapped air can escape when it folds. It takes a couple of minutes to let all the air out before you can fit it inside the carry bag.

With all these features, this tent is easily one of the best six person tents.
