The Coleman Riverside 6 Tent is a fully weather resistant bright and roomy 6 person family tent with two bedrooms providing plenty of space for an enjoyable family holiday. A separate bedroom for mum and dad ensures that everyone will enjoy a more relaxed break. A fully integrated groundsheet provides complete protection from inclement conditions. For enhanced comfort and flexibility, the 2 person bedroom can also be removed to benefit from the side door and create a much wider living area or additional storage space.

   I was very excited about getting my first Coleman tent as I had heard that they were a really good brand. In the dry weather it was fine, plenty of room, sensible lay out of the 4 and 2 person bedrooms and aside from the frustrating issues with the poles not fitting, once it was up it was great… until it started to rain (not heavy but enough to be average UK weather). I have to say that my £50 Argos tent was better made. I definatley received a lemon to say the least.

   The main problems are:

   1)The channel that the pole runs through on the dome portion is so tightly stitched that the poles have to be forced through.

   2)The first time it rained some of the seams at the main bedroom end of the tent started leaking, not just a trickle either. Overnight we managed to get almost a centimetre deep water inside. Fortunatley the bedrooms have an additional groundsheet and we were sleeping on airbeds.

   3)The clips that are stitched in to the groundsheet are not water tight so the rain seeps up through the ground sheet.

   4)The design of the doors means that if you wish to stay dry in the rain, you have to peg the doors down from the inside(?!) which is nigh on impossible. If not, the door blows inside (as the zips don’t go all the way down to join the groundsheet) and creates a convenient gully for the water to run in. Once you have managed to peg the doors down by scrambling around on the inside, it is difficult to get back out again when you need to.

   I have returned mine to Amazon and asked for a replacement as I am hopeful that this was a one off made by a trainee or something. There’s nothing wrong with the design or the materials, just badly made.
