The Coleman Rocky Mountain 5 Plus Tent delivers reliable shelter for family camping trips. This spacious tent accommodates up to five people with room to spare.
Built with Coleman's WeatherTec system, it provides waterproof protection against rain and wind. The tent features welded floors and inverted seams to keep water out completely.
Setup takes just minutes thanks to the colour-coded poles and simple design. The tent includes large windows for ventilation and natural light, plus multiple storage pockets for gear organisation.
Setup typically takes 10-15 minutes with two people. The colour-coded pole system makes assembly straightforward even for beginners. Each pole matches specific sleeve colours, eliminating guesswork. Most experienced campers can pitch it solo in about 20 minutes once familiar with the process.
The tent measures approximately 335cm x 244cm at the base with a centre height of 183cm. This provides ample space for five people plus gear storage. The floor area gives each person roughly 1.6 square metres of personal space, which is comfortable for family camping.
This tent is designed for three-season use (spring, summer, autumn) rather than winter conditions. Whilst the WeatherTec system handles rain effectively, it's not engineered for heavy snow loads or extreme cold. For winter camping, consider a four-season tent specifically designed for harsh conditions.
The WeatherTec system provides excellent waterproofing through welded floors and inverted seams. The fabric has a hydrostatic head rating that keeps water out during moderate to heavy rainfall. However, like all tents, proper setup and maintenance are essential for optimal performance.
The package includes the tent body, rainfly, colour-coded fibreglass poles, steel stakes, guy ropes and a carry bag. All essential components for setup are provided. You may want to purchase additional stakes for rocky ground or upgrade to stronger pegs for windy conditions.
The tent handles moderate winds well when properly staked and guy-lined. For optimal stability in windy conditions, use all provided guy ropes and consider upgrading to heavier-duty stakes. The dome design provides good wind resistance, but extreme weather requires additional precautions.
The complete tent weighs approximately 7.3kg including all components and carry bag. This makes it suitable for car camping rather than backpacking. The packed size fits easily in most car boots, though it's too heavy for extended hiking trips where weight is crucial.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning with mild soap and water, ensuring complete drying before storage and checking zippers and seams periodically. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged UV exposure when possible. Reproofing the fabric every few years maintains waterproof performance.
