Walmart's Holiday Deals Event is officially live with mega deals on everything from electric bikes to weight benches and even backyard sheds until Oct. 13. If you're searching for a new tent to take camping this fall, Walmart just marked down one of Coleman's best by $120, and it's perfect for late sleepers.
The Coleman 4-Person Carlsbad Dark Room Dome Camping Tent is on sale for just $110, down by 52% from its typical $230 sticker price. For a little more than a Benjamin, you get a spacious tent equipped with Coleman’s game-changing Dark Room technology that blocks 90% more sunlight so you can sleep past sunrise or take an afternoon nap. This model has earned 75 five-star ratings from Walmart shoppers who have used it and say it's “a perfect tent” that's “neat and compact” and ready for any campsite.
The Carlsbad’s welted corners, inverted seams, and included rainfly do an admirable job keeping water out, while the sturdy frame is built to withstand 35 mph winds. It can be set up in just 10 minutes, and the synthetic fabric reduces heat for more comfortable sleeping. It all adds up to a tent built for comfort that offers shelter from the elements in a more comprehensive way than the competition.
One reviewer wrote that they ventured out with their wife who “hates camping” and were able to sleep much later than usual. “My wife loved the Dark Room so much she invited me to go camping for our second wedding anniversary,” they wrote, clearly thrilled that this tent turned her into an outdoorswoman. While seasoned campers might enjoy waking up early and “roughing it,” others will appreciate the extra mile this tent goes to make each sleeper inside more comfortable.
Other campers noted how easy the tent is to put together. "Bought this tent for light overnight fishing trips," a shopper said. "Came out of the box good, fairly easy to set up, seems well constructed, and tear-down wasn't bad either. I like the screen room as it fits my fishing gear and other camping items I like to keep dry and safe." Another shopper agreed, simply saying it's "worth every penny" and "easy to put up, too."
The Coleman 4-Person Carlsbad Dome Camping Tent is a great way to take advantage of however much camping season is left where you live. We recommend picking one up today, as there’s no guarantee Walmart’s heavily discounted stock—or the camping-friendly fall weather—will last much longer.
