ColemanBedrock 2 Tent, a compact 2 man dome tent, a light 2 person camping and hiking tent, 100% water-proof

Being a medieval reenactor I often spend my weekends camping. What I needed was a tent that was small, quick and easy to put up, and light. This tent delivers in pretty much all categories. Featuring only one pole the tent can be put up by one person without any hassle in about 15 minutes once you know what you're doing.I have used this tent through some harsh storms and I was very surprised with how well it's held up. Over the 2015 summer I have used it for around 10-15 nights in total and not once has it leaked or had any damage done to it.Perhaps the only word of caution I would give is that this tent is in reality a one man tent rather than a two man. When adding a large backpack I found the tent to be very comfortable for one person. If someone else was to join it would be a bit of a squeeze. You would be fine having two people in there are no luggage but I would definitely recommend against 2 people with a lot of kit.All in all I am very happy with this tent; it's been through a lot this summer and it seems to be in perfect condition for next year.

This tent is really simple to set up. I utilized this on a 2 night camping trip during which I experienced light rainfall for multiple hours at a time. The tent stayed dry with only light dripping around the outer layer vent area (I believe this is caused by the vent flap touching the vent area and allowing moisture to drip down. See picture). The moisture dripped onto the inner layer vent panel but did not penetrate (I.E. no rain in the sleeping area). I ready the comments regarding the narrow area (foot end) and agree that an individuals feet will cause the inner compartment layer to touch the outer layer allowing for possible moisture transfer. I utilized a stick and the attached rope point to obtain additional room between the inner and outer layers, however it only increased the area by a little bit (see picture). Coleman should design an rod system similar to the tallest portion down in this area to ensure the interior remains dry. In the meantime a Y shaped stick will provide some additional room if needed. Finally, as some have stated this is really a 1 person with light gear tent. My gear bag took up all the remaining room in the head side of the tent (I'm 5'8 (176 Cm) and 175 (79 Kg). The area's between the inner and exterior layers can hold items like boots or water resistant items and protect them from falling rain (although not puddles). Overall I am very happy with this tent for the price point.

the reason I purchased this tent was to downsize on the amount of increasing equipment I found I was taking away with me.I finally managed to get away and take my new tent for its first outing this weekend and was pleased at how easy it was to put up. Usually with a new tent it takes a few put up attempts to work out how it is supposed to be in reality and why there are so many pegs remaining. With there only being a single pole and 3 guide ropes the design keeps things simple and intuitive to erect easily by a single person.space inside is more than adequate for a 1 adult (the reason I purchased) but I couldn't recommend for 2 adults.As I was half hoping for a thunderstorm passed over in the early hours and having taken a pounding first thing in the morning I checked and all inside was totally dry. I never noticed any flapping noise during the worse of the storm. only comment is it could do with a hook in the top for hanging a light in the dark. Otherwise very impressed and looking forward to making a lot more trips away with my tent.

I originally gave it a 1-start, but having used it and made some improvements, it's an OK tent, but it has some problems. For a budget tent, it performs more or less as expected for under a £100. It is fine for car camping, or festivals, but not a 2-person tent, a parent and a child is about as comfortable, or a couple of small adults (<5'6"). For trekking, hiking, backpacking, it is quite a bit too heavy and bulky.1) This tent only has a mosquito net only on one door. So, in hot summer days with flies and mosquitoes around, choices are baking hot, as with only one door open no cross-breeze, or open doors and getting pestered by flying insects. 2) the inner tent sags a lot, no way to prevent that 3) it comes with 17 (!!) steel pegs, very heavy and not very strong. (I replaced them with aluminium y-pegs which are a big improvement.) 4) the guy line at the front doens't really help create a separation between the inner and the fly. (I've improved this by using a trekking pole and an extra guy-line so it pulls up at a 45 degree angle). 5) it is heavy, because it has added plastic panels on both sides, which are not really useful. 6) the fly sheet sags in the rain, but that's a function of all tents that have a SilPoly outer material. The problem is that for tall people like me (6'7") that means the feet make the inner and outer touch and condensation accumulatesThere are some good features. 1) with 17 pegs, and pegged close to the ground, it can withstand a lot of wind. 2) the bathtub is very solid, hence the heavy weight, and will most likely last a long time with extensive use. 3) the fly sheet has a double zipper, and provided you have pitched the back into the wind, you can open up the fly sheet at the top to improve air circulation and reduce condensation - the zipper is covered with a flap that prevents rain seeping in. 4) with stronger y-pegs, it is possible to pitch the fly sheet a few inches off the ground, improving air flow considerably, making it much more comfortable in warmer weather.
