Coleman Sundome 2P review
Best for: One or two campers on sleeping pads in mild weather
A basic fiberglass dome that suits two people on pads in fair weather; the roof-only fly and single door are the trade-offs.
The Sundome 2 is a 7 x 5 ft dome with a 4 ft center height, one door, two windows and a ground vent. Coleman's WeatherTec floor uses welded corners and inverted seams, and the frame is wind-tested to 35 mph. The fly covers only the roof, with awnings over the door and window, so the side walls shed wind-driven rain on their own.
Good
- Welded-corner tub floor and inverted seams to keep ground water out
- 7.5 lb with poles, stakes and fly; packs to about 24 x 6 x 6 in
- E-Port lets you run an extension cord inside
Watch for
- Roof-only fly leaves the side walls exposed to blowing rain
- One door, so the inside sleeper climbs over; 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
