Why We Love This Deal
It’s hard to find a company more in tune with our outdoor needs than Coleman. From its camping stoves and wheeled coolers to its camping tents and portable grills, the company just has a knack for producing top-tier outdoor gear at the right price. And that’s especially evident in the Montana 8-Person Dome Tent that Walmart is now selling for nearly half off.
Coleman Montana 8-Person Dome Tent, $160 (was $302) at Walmart
What Shoppers Should Know
- Size: The floor space is 16-by-7 feet with a 6-foot-2 standing height.
- Setup Time: ~15 minutes
- Sleeps: 8; there’s enough room for 3 queen-sized inflatable sleeping pads inside.
- Wind Resistance: Tested to 35-plus mph.
- Materials: The Coleman Montana uses durable Bodyguard fabric combined with Coleman’s Weather Tec construction for waterproofing.
Naturally, a big draw of this tent is its capacity. The interior is 16-by-7, quite enormous for a tent, and at the center, the average man will be able to stand upright with ease. That cramped, stuck feeling that tents can evoke, especially in the rain, disappears.
Speaking of rain, the Coleman Montana is also good at dealing with rainstorms. Its frame is tested to withstand winds of 35 mph or more. Then, the body’s Bodyguard fabric, constructed with Coleman Weather Tec that features welded flooring and inverted seams, will keep the interior of the tent dry. There’s even an exterior vestibule for extra dry areas during light sprinkles.

What Shoppers Are Saying
From the more than 350 five-star ratings the tent has received, the 15-minute setup time was one of the most commented on things about the tent. “We bought this tent to camp at Fort Wilderness Orlando. It took about 20-25 mins as we had never set it up before, I reckon we could do it in 15 mins next time.”
Those who weathered through storms in this Coleman tent were quick to add in their two cents: “This was the only tent out of five that stayed dry on our camping trip during thunderstorms. Love that the floor love comes so high up the sides, unlike most tents with the floor seeming at ground level.”
The Coleman Montana 8-Person Dome Tent is now just $160. Charge each person who sleeps in it $20, and you’ll recoup your costs the first time you rent it out. But don’t wait, this is a high-value tent and could sell out easily.
