Tents

The tent decides how a trip starts and how well anyone sleeps. Off Grid Superstore stocks 51 tents in Australia, weighted towards the fast-pitching Instant Up designs that go up in minutes rather than an argument.

What's in the range

Instant Tents covers 12 Coleman Instant Up models with pre-attached poles, from the 4P Northstar Instant Up Darkroom with built-in LED lighting up to the 10P Gold Series Evo in Weathertec construction. Swagger Tents holds the compact 1 and 3-person models for solo and pair trips.

Ensuites covers the separate shower and change tents, including the Instant Up Single Shower Ensuite. Tent Accessories holds 44 items across floor protectors, pegs, ropes, poles and gazebo walls. For something between a tent and a swag, the Queen Size 2P Easy Up Stretcher Tent pitches on a stretcher frame, and the Instant Up Pet Tent covers the dog.

Sizing and choosing a tent

Tent capacity ratings assume people lying shoulder to shoulder with no gear. The practical rule is to size up by two: a four-person tent suits two adults with luggage and room to stand, and a six-person tent suits a family of four.

Two features are worth paying for. Darkroom fabric blocks most daylight so the tent stays dark past sunrise and cooler through the day, which matters if anyone in the group sleeps in. Weathertec construction adds welded floors and taped seams, which is what you want camping through shoulder season rather than midsummer. A floor protector costs little and doubles the life of the groundsheet.

How long does a Coleman Instant Up tent take to pitch?

The poles are pre-attached to the canopy, so the frame unfolds and locks without threading anything through sleeves. Most models are standing within a few minutes with one or two people, then it is a matter of pegging out and fitting the fly.

What does Darkroom mean on a tent?

Darkroom fabric blocks the large majority of daylight, so the inside stays dark after sunrise and noticeably cooler through the day. It is worth the difference if anyone in the group sleeps past dawn or you camp somewhere with no shade.

What size tent do I need for a family of four?

A six-person tent is the practical choice. Capacity ratings assume people only with no gear, so sizing up by about two gives room for bags, a standing area and space to move without stepping over each other.

Do I need a tent floor protector?

It is not essential but it is cheap insurance. A footprint or mesh protector takes the abrasion from sticks and gravel that would otherwise wear through the tent floor, and it keeps the packed tent cleaner and drier.
