Let there be light! The Coleman Instant Up Northstar 10P Lighted Dark Room Tent introduces integrated LED lighting to the popular Dark Room technology that reduces light, reduces heat and allows you to sleep longer whilst camping! Sticking strongly with the frame from the ever-popular Instant Up series, the Coleman Instant Up Northstar 10P Lighted Dark Room Tent has a special coating on the fly (the Dark Room patented fabric treatment) which blocks 95% of sunlight and keeps the inside approx. 5 degrees cooler, meaning you'll be cooler during the day and warmer at night allowing you to sleep for longer! Sleeping up to 10 adults, the ultra-fine mesh throughout the tent allows for plenty of ventilation! The Northstar 10P is the perfect instantly family cabin tent featuring all the benefits needed to suit a family with the convenience of a fast to set up the frame. The Instant-Up Hub frame design allows for a quick set up with the integrated pre-attached frame and takes just 3 minutes to set up. The central living space and two side bedrooms are incredibly spacious, and the front door can also be pitched out as 2 pole awning with the included awning poles for extra shade. Packing down just as quickly as setting up, the Coleman Instant Up Northstar 10P Lighted Dark Room Tent includes a heavy-duty carry bag for easy storage and transport! The awning on the Coleman Northstar Instant Up 10 Lighted DarkRoom Tent is purpose built to provide ample shade. The design, however, isn't ideal for inclement weather, so when the weather turns south, we do recommend dropping the awning where possible.

+ves - inbuilt lights with individual room controls. Easy up (not quite as easy as the video). Spacious. Stood up to the heavy rain we had. -ves - awning doesn't work in the rain. Need extra poles and ropes to try and stop water pooling (or dont use it). Pegs bend easily, recommend buying more sturdy options. One way zip on doors.

This tent is a game changer! Set up is quick and easier, aswell as the pack down. The lights are amazing, especially when we were use to having to stumble around in the dark with a torch. We couldn’t be happier!

Great tent so far. Used it once already and setup was pretty easy. Only negative I can think of is the pegs are weak as and need replacing straight away. Can’t wait to go camping and use it again

This tent is amazing. Bought in early 2021, but only used in April 2022. We had to set up while it was raining, but because of its construction the inside was fairly dry and once the rain fly was on kept us nice and toasty inside. It's true what they say about the darkroom technology—really blocks out even the bright noonday sun, so imagine what it does when the day is stormy. So it is a good thing that this new upgraded version has its own lighting strip. Set-up was quick (though not as quick as the advertised 3-minute set up; then again, it was just me and my 10-year old daughter and we were no experts), beginning at 1:53 pm from setting up the groundsheet to 2:11 pm with the tent frame and rain fly all secured to the ground (just over 15 minutes). We were camped near the beach, so it had to contend with very high winds in addition to the rain—we were kept dry and snug inside (although we did secure the tent using trace springs and supa-peg ground anchors, so that helped a lot.) We cannot recommend this tent enough. Other families camped around us had the same tent, and we had the same experience of it being really tough against the elements.

We used our new tent for the first time this weekend. It was so incredibly simple to put up. Did it with one adult and an 8 year helper. Fit a family of 5 (one in a cot) plus gear really well. Night one we had a HUGE storm overnight, a storm that left other tents in the camp flooded with water and saturated bedding and many gazebos broken. We were all dry, tent intact, which was just amazing. This was even with the verandah open which isnt recommended in big weather but we were asleep when it started. As other reviews I feel the pegs were cheap and weren’t completely up to the job (particularly on the fly & front guys). Other than that, highly recommend it!!
