Rated 5 out of 5 by Seas from after 2 years, tent is STILL in PERFECT condition! So far, this tent has lasted 5 trips including camping 3 days in windy Wyoming, and a severe thunderstorm in Colorado. Here's what we've done that's managed to keep our Montana 8 like new: (1) always stake down the tent and use the rainfly (2) put a ground tarp under tent (3) Relax, and take your time with set up/take down (ignore Coleman's silly claim of "15 minutes") and expect at least 30 minutes minimum (4) When threading poles through slots, be patient and gentle (not rough or in a hurry) . Use your hand to gently feed tent material over pole as you inch pole through, and then PULL (not push) the pole out the other end (5) don't stake guylines with excessive tension (6) don't be forceful with zippers (if any of your staked guylines put noticeable tension near seams, OR zippers are reluctant to zip: push on tent wall, or pull tent fabric in the same direction you plan to move zipper, all the while keeping an eye on tent fabric so you don't blindly cause a snag)... These 6 tips have literally kept our tent looking like new, and performing like a champ. Bottom Line: be good to this tent and it will be good to you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mldgrave from Durable and reliable My husband and I just got home from 7 nights of camping in Moab, UT. This was our first time tent camping and my husband received the ten as appreciation of 10yrs service at his employer. 2 nights early in our vacation there was record setting weather, thunderstorms with wind gusts of 60 miles per hour. The tent held up well and did not leak, tear nor the rain cover come off. We used cots w/sleeping bags and still had plenty of room for our bags, coolers and dog bed. We are so pleased and surprised at how well the tent weather the bsd and good weather. Would recommend for sure

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pickil from Great Tent Tent is very durable. We used it when it was literally pouring down rain and we stayed dry. The seams did gather some water and eventually made puddles in the corners of the tent but nothing a little waterproof spray on the seams couldn't fix. The pole for the door broke on the second trip out... Other than that great tent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mp36154 from Best Tent I Have Found So Far! Bought this tent for my family’s 3 week camping trip to Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. Put it up this week to check it out and not only does it have enough room for my entire family to sleep in BUT its tall enough for us to stand up in too without leaning over so our heads don’t hit the top! To really test it out I left it up during a thunderstorm overnight to see if it would leak. Went out the next morning to check it and THERE WAS NO WATER ANYWHERE INSIDE THE TENT! It rained supper hard too so I was expecting at least some water in the floor of the tent! Boy was I glad I was wrong! I’ve always managed to buy tents that leak, so for Coleman to create a product that exceeds my expectations of a tent is astounding! I’m so happy with my purchase and will be sticking to buying Coleman tents from now on!

Rated 5 out of 5 by adubh@bigD from Plenty of room at an affordable price! I arrived late in Colorado and found myself setting up for the first time in the dark. It went great! Easy set up and plenty of room! The Montana handled the light to moderate winds and rain of Buena Vista without a hitch!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Liongrad from Great for dog camping! We were looking for a tent to camp with 2 big dogs. This tent has fit the bill in many ways. Big on space with lots of room for a queen air mattress and space for a small table and chairs if you need to escale the weather which we have encountered living in the Carolinas. Only reason for a four star and not 5 is the lack of ventilation once you have the fly qround the side windows. If they were a bit larger. Also, the fly on the sides could use on extra guyline on the side windows in the middle to pull the water off and not allow pooling on the fly in the middle by the side windows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrs. Tompkins from Durable This is the tent we purchased and had in the backyard for the boys to camp in... on 8/27/2020 we got a huge storm with 45-60 mph wind gusts. We weren’t able to get the tent down before hand. The tent came off the steaks and took a ride with the wind across our yard and to the neighbors. The tent was still together and had a cot in it. The only thing that tore was the rain shield..... it is still under warranty as we just got it in July...

Rated 1 out of 5 by jzur from Do not buy this tent! Leaks like a sieve. We used this tent only twice since we bought it. Last night we went camping. It rained and the tent was leaking so badly the inside became soaked. We had to pack everything up and go back home. Completely ruined our camping trip! Do not waste your money on this tent!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Brandonm from Affordable, But can not withstand a summer rain. I purchased this tent a few days ago, with the intent of taking my daughter to a campsite where we could watch rocket launches (in 3 days), I wanted to set the tent up and make sure I knew how it went up and came down, I set the tent up last night after seeing rain the forecast for today because I wanted to see how it could handle an average summer shower, it did not fair well I have a puddle in all four corners of my tent, i double checked the rain fly and the guy lines, everything is up to par according to the directions included with the tent and the downloadable version, I took a video of the leaks where they were coming from the seems that were worst affected but unfortunately, there is no way to upload videos here, but I will upload some pictures. and if anyone would like the video to see it is a rather average south Florida rain storm causing these rather large leaks.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Boyerjk from Seams and Corner Leaking We have had this tent for just over three years. Super roomy for the two of us and our dog with gear. Tonight proved tent doesn’t last regarding the seams and canopy. In total we have only used this tent 7 times. Light rain where we stayed and corners of one side show leaking at seams with major dripping through top of canopy. A pool of water formed at the end of the tent, too, where the drops of rain were coming in at the seam. Quite disappointed this tent hasn’t lasted us more uses. Now in the hunt for another tent before next week when we have to camp again on our way home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Redwoodjoe from Great value and design! We were looking for our first tent for our family of four. Based on recommendations of others we decided to go big to ensure plenty of space. Great call! Lots of room, excellent layout, and bathtub seams keep out water and bugs. During the day we stack air mattresses to make a sofa and open even more space. Would definitely recommend!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Eagle from Good price, comfortable The first two times worked out good but the poles are poorly made, and tried to order replacement but came has you had to cut them and finally threw them away and the tent. We crammed into another tent and some had to sleep in car. Good water protection

Rated 4 out of 5 by CriBro from Great size for family of 5 This tent held up well for the 2 camping trips we have gone on since purchasing. It rained hard the second trip and we had no water getting inside. The lack of window along the back does make for a warmer experience but keeping the windows on the sides and the door open helps a lot. Unfortunately, the big pole for the door and one of the thicker structural poles have snapped and finding replacement poles is proving to be difficult.

Rated 1 out of 5 by avargas2 from Bad purchase We loved the tent at first. Used the tent a handful of times and cared for it properly. A few days over a year from purchase date and the side support pole snapped and ripped through the tent causing it to leak on us while raining. I contacted customer service through Coleman and they said the best they could offer was 20% discount code. I should've read more reviews before buying. Looks like a reoccurring issue with this tent.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Danielle45 from Roomy but has issues I bought this tent a year ago and used it 4 times to camp with my family (2 adults, 2 kids and one dog). This is a large tens so it was not a surprise that this tent is big and heavy. It was a surprise to figure out that it is difficult to get back in the bag it came with. I have not had this issue with the other Coleman tent we own. It's only been properly stored in the bag once and that was after 2 adults folded it and carefully zipped the bag up. It was work to get it in the bag even then. Set up is a 2 person job and takes longer than it should. Even after setting it up multiple times it's confusing figuring out which poles go where. Getting the rain fly in place is also difficult. It is possible for one person to set up the tent but it takes at least 20 minutes. Your fellow campers will start to come by and ask if you need help. Say yes. Once you get the tent set up there is a ton of space inside. We have put 2 queen air mattresses in the tent. One on each side with the middle open which is nice. What is not so nice is that even with all the windows unzipped the tent get very hot very quickly even when in part shade. If you have a little one who needs a mid day nap this tent is not a good option. One of the features that I was really excited about is the door. The kids never properly zip the tent flaps so we thought this swing system would be a great solution. It's not. Even camping in Illinois, the flattest state in the union, the ground is never flat enough to ensure the door would swing and stay closed. There is always a gap even with pushing on the Velcro. The only time the door worked perfectly is when we set it up in our perfectly flat backyard. We have yet to replicate that at a camp site. We have used this tent in all types of weather. From 90+ degree days, pouring rain, wind and frosted over mornings. So far it has held up well. Coleman needs to redesign this tent to have better ventilation, fix the door issues and come with a bigger storage bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IowaCamper51 from GREAT TENT I bought this tent for my son and I to go on a 2 week father and son camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, it performed way better than I expected, was very easy to set up and take down 15 mins each time, plenty of space inside for us and our gear and the e-port was extremely helpful, had to deploy the rainfly and it was also fast and easy to get up even in the rain! no water penetrated the tent anywhere.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tedj1031 from Literally homey ! (To me anyway) I actually live in this tent. My only complaint is the water pooling in the corners of the floor. I have yet to try it out now that i have raised the tent about 5 inches off the ground with a platform made of pallets and plywood. Great tent though. Will keep you posted after the next rain. Until then.....

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jewelz from Lasted forever & was SUPER affordable!!! This tent lasted through MANY years of girl scout & boy scout camping weekends. It was ALWAYS so easy to assemble, was up in minutes. Then when the kids were in High school we would go on friend group camping trips since scouting was over. What GREAT family bonding time. It was fun "roughing it" too!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by traveler 66 from great tent but not water proof Love the tent layout. After figuring out how to set it up, directions lacking some helpful tips. We used it three times now. First was completely dry weekend. Second weekend light rain water came into tent. We thought it was seams so we sprayed all seams. Third weekend nice rain and yes we had a lake in tent. Water came thru side panels, we have now sprayed whole tent with repellent. Hopefully this will solve problem.. It is a shame one must go thru this; I never had this problem with my older Coleman tents.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sconnie from Too hot This tent has no ventilation or shade. By 6am here in Wisconsin, we are wide awake because even the fans can't keep it cool and I'd need to wear a mask because it's a bright as looking into the sun. The 2 tents we have had in the past took us through 30 years, not coleman products. We still have, and use the other 2 as spares for family and friends. Unfortunately this 1 won't make it. I've looked at the other posts responses which inform me there is no alternate rainfly available to purchase for this tent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tonygarcia from Great for camping and easy to set up We use it frequently for our scouting camp outs and it is extremely Easy to set up. Coleman took into account the difficulty of setting up and made it as easy as possible. They also took into account the tent never fitting quite right back in the bag and made it expandable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AJ37 from Easy setup, good design, but..... This is a good tent for the family, lots of room and a good rain fly that keeps it dry. However, the first one the door brackets failed but the the tent was replaced 100%. my only realy complaint is the ends where the rainfly doesn't cover allow water in when it rains.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SkipGinCinci from Great tent, easy set up, but a little short. We bought this to replace an older cabin tent. The space was great but we missed the height of our older tent. I recommend this highly for folks not pushing 50 who need a little more space.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Goncampin1 from Exceeded All Expectations I purchased the blue and black Montana 8-person tent. I took my family (2 adults, 2 children (3 and 5)) up to the forest for the week in July. On Tuesday night we encountered what was deemed a minor microburst. Wind, Rain, Lightening, Thunder. The kids slept through the whole thing! This tent is awesome. We did not experience any water leakage inside, nor did we encounter anything that broke on the tent. This tent has two pouches on each end for storage, and thats about it. We were able to fit two queen mattresses, two totes, and a couple smaller totes inside with a ton of room to spare. This tent is an absolute unit when it comes to space. The ceiling inside is very high, which makes changing clothes easy. The door is one of the neatest things i've seen in a tent, it zippers up and has velcro incase you are going in and out. Set up of this tent is fast and simple. Took my wife and i 8 minutes to set up, and a little bit longer to tear down due to pulling stakes out. I recommend bringing an oscilating desk fan to keep the air flow moving in the tent. You wont regret buying this tent!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Redwood Joe from Coleman - Montana 8-person tent We were looking for a larger tent for family outings. We learned quickly a family of four needs more than a four person tent. The eight person has plenty of room to spread out and still accommodate all our gear. I especially appreciate room enough at one end for an inflatable queen mattress. We put up the rain fly even in warm weather to provide additional shade. The window placement on both ends allows for good airflow. We made a rule flashlights always go in the inside pockets so that they are easily accessible in the dark. We looked at a number of 8 person tents and preferred the layout of the Coleman Montana best. I also like that the bathtub flooring keeps out moisture and insects. (In warm weather we also place a tarp under the tent to minimize wear on the floor.) I also think it was an excellent value at $179.00 online.

Hello there! Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry. We understand that you are asking the footprint size of the Coleman&reg; Montana&trade; 8-Person Tent. Upon checking, we are sorry to inform you that this tent does not come with a footprint. However, the floors of our tents are made from a strong Polyethylene 1000D-140g/sqm which allows them to hold up against rough terrain. It is always recommended to clear out any debris before setting up your tent. However, if you like, you can purchase some heavy tarp material to use as a footprint for your tent. This will extend the life of your tent and make it easy to clean when taking down your campsite. We hope we were able to answer your question. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
