Coleman Northstar Instant Up 8 Lighted DarkRoom Tent Reviews

Let there be light! The Coleman Instant Up Northstar 8P Lighted Dark Room Tent introduces integrated LED lighting to the popular Dark Room technology that reduces light, reduces heat and allows you to sleep longer whilst camping! Sticking strongly with the frame from the ever-popular Instant Up series, the Coleman Instant Up Northstar 8P Lighted Dark Room Tent has a special coating on the fly (the Dark Room patented fabric treatment) which blocks 95% of sunlight and keeps the inside approx. 5 degrees cooler, meaning you'll be cooler during the day and warmer at night allowing you to sleep for longer! Sleeping up to 8 adults, the ultra-fine mesh throughout the tent allows for plenty of ventilation! The Northstar 8 P is the perfect instantly family cabin tent featuring all the benefits needed to suit a family with the convenience of a fast to set up the frame. The Instant-Up Hub frame design allows for a quick set up with the integrated pre-attached frame and takes just 3 minutes to set up. The front door can also be pitched out as 3 pole awning with the included awning poles for extra shade. Packing down just as quickly as setting up, the Coleman Instant Up Northstar 8P Lighted Dark Room Tent includes a heavy-duty carry bag for easy storage and transport! The awning on the Coleman Northstar Instant Up 8 Lighted DarkRoom Tent is purpose built to provide ample shade. The design, however, isn't ideal for inclement weather, so when the weather turns south, we do recommend dropping the awning where possible. **Please keep in mind that the black coating on the inside of the block-out fly can flake away with use, causing pinpricks of light to appear. This is especially the case around the seams. This is perfectly normal and does not affect the product's ability to reduce light or temperature and can be fixed using black tenacious tape or something similar if you aren't a fan of the starry night effect.** .embed-container { position: relative padding-bottom: 56.25% height: 0 overflow: hidden max-width: 100% } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute top: 0 left: 0 width: 100% height: 100% } .embed-container { position: relative padding-bottom: 56.25% height: 0 overflow: hidden max-width: 100% } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute top: 0 left: 0 width: 100% height: 100% } .embed-container { position: relative padding-bottom: 56.25% height: 0 overflow: hidden max-width: 100% } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute top: 0 left: 0 width: 100% height: 100% }

Definitely waterproof!! It was raining heavily for around 6 hours on the very first day I used this tent and the tent did a great job of keeping us dry. The built in LED lights were very helpful and I kept them on the entire night to keep an eye on possible leaks of which there were none. Best to upgrade to heavy duty pegs for the tent frame, included pegs are good enough for the awnings.

Lights up the woods when we go camping so it’s never dark. Fits the whole family with 2 kids and easy to assemble.

We purchased a 8p coleman northstar instant up, and it is brilliant. The lady initially we spoke to was very understanding of my wife and I disagreeing which Tent to purchase. I actually won!!! The Tent is great with LED lights intergrated in the tent, and it is definitely a DarkRoom. No sunlight gets in with the fly closed in.

Excellent tent and is exactly what we were after. Stays darker in the morning than our bedroom at home. Great design and is very easy to erect and pack up. Highly recommended.
