Coleman Skydome 2P review
Best for: Two campers who want the quickest dome pitch
Pre-attached poles make it quick to pitch, but it is a heavy, single-door 2-person tent with a partial fly and no vestibule.
A 7 x 5 ft dome with a 4 ft center height and poles pre-attached to the body; Coleman quotes setup in under 5 minutes. It fits one queen airbed and the frame is wind-tested to 35 mph. It weighs 8.13 lb, has one door, one window and no vestibule, and the fly leaves part of the walls uncovered.
Good
- Pre-attached poles; Coleman quotes setup in under 5 minutes
- Fits one queen airbed, per Coleman
- Frame wind-tested to 35 mph
Watch for
- No vestibule: shoes and packs go inside or get wet
- Partial fly, one door and fiberglass poles

Best for: A solo camper, or a close pair, who wants a small, light tent
A light, small-packing tent at 4.25 lb, but the single front door and 51 in width make it tight for two adults and too narrow for a queen airbed.
The Base is Naturehike's polyester version of the Cloud Up: a freestanding double-wall tent on a one-piece aluminum pole frame, with the inner hanging from hooks. The fly is 210T ripstop polyester rated PU 3000 mm, and a PU 5000 mm footprint is included. The inner is 82.7 x 51.2 x 41.3 in with one front door and vestibule. It packs to 15.7 x 5.1 in and weighs 4.25 lb packed.
Good
- 4.25 lb packed, 15.7 x 5.1 in packed size: fits any corner of the trunk
- Footprint included (210T polyester, PU 5000 mm)
- Freestanding, so it pitches on gravel pads and wooden platforms
Watch for
- One front door: the inside sleeper climbs over to get out
- 51.2 in wide and 41.3 in tall: snug for two adults, no queen airbed
