8 Reviews of the Columbus 4

I have this tent as it is easy to put up and put away on your own. I use it for myself and my 2 children when we go camping. It is a nice roomy tent we have used it several times since purchasing it. Sometimes for a weekend away and more recently for a fortnight.

It could do with a window at the front for when it is rainy.

I also found that during a very rainy weekend the tent did start to leak. It had rained hard for 48 hours solid when it started to leak quite badly. Had the rain not stopped we would have been forced to pack up and leave

I have used this tent for weekends and a week of camping on a few trips and it is great. It can be put up by one person once you have done it the first time or two.

You can open the vent at the back from within the bedrooms. In rainy weather the rain will blow in under the front door unless you peg down the skirt, but you can still get in and out through the zip without undoing it because of the sloped front.

There are enough handy pockets - just don't leave the car keys in the little one at the top of the bedroom before packing it away to go home; it will make you mad when you get in to drive away and remember where they were last!

Great tent for family use for weekend camping. Friends all seem to have chosen tents that could house their extended families come the revolution; this is a slightly more modest but very practical alternative. Not sure it would be the right choice for a fortnight with kids though.

Seems very well put together and goes up with little or no hassle. Good value for money and nice looking too. The front of the tent at ground level is a bit tricky to seal up if the weather is grim but that may be down to me doing something wrong!

Three trips so far and looking forward to more.

I love my Coleman Columbus. We are a couple with a dog and take the other bedroom pod out, which leaves us plenty of storage room and makes it feel very roomy. Very high porch area, no need to stoop at all. Very well made and easy to erect with just 3 poles. Ours can be up in 15 minutes flat. Sewn in groundsheet is an added benefit also. Would buy another tomorrow.

Fab little tent at a great price.

We've used ours as a weekend tent for a family of 4 (you can just fit a double air bed in each bedroom), but it would also be suitable as a main tent for a couple, with the second bedroom removed to make extra living space.

The bedrooms have pockets on the inside and outside for storage of small items.

Quick and easy to pitch, with 3 colour coded external poles and no internal poles.

Good ventilation and light with various zips and windows.

This is a fab tent with attention to detail

Sewn in ground sheet, colour coded poles and bedrooms already fitted, means it is quick and easy to erect and take down again.

There is lots of ventilation zips and cute toggles with the coleman symbol printed on them to hold back flaps once they are opened.

The bedrooms can be taken down and so if only one is in use you can remove the other for extra living space (although we keep it up for the dog!)

Porch is lovely and roomy allowing us (being pretty tall) to change easily without having to scrunch ourselves up to do so.

Great 'sky light' windows to enable you to see whether its worth getting out of bed or not without having to move :)

This is a good quality 4 berth tent.

Another Coleman classic.

Excellent value for money at < £90

From World Of Camping.

Easy to set up with detachable inner rooms.

Ideal to endure the British Summer weather.

Used in North Wales this spring.

This is an ideal weekend tent due to it`s full height and space.

Windows and inner covers in the roof panels.
