Has anyone used this for tent camping?

I have not used it and if you think you could set it up in a tent with a floor so it would not get dirty, it would be quite comfortable. But this is heavy and if you're backpacking, then this is not the item for you. Also this isn't easily washed like a sleeping bag so if it does get dirty, it would be hard to clean.

it is rather heavy and does not, to me, seem appropriate for tent camping. Plus you would definitely need to cover it completely and keep it totally dry otherwise tent camping would probably ruin it.

No. The plastic are to cheap. You can use tent camping stakes. They work better.

If you are using it with a tarp tent pitched the right, it should definitely produce some effective heat. You could use it in aregular backpacking tent with a great deal of care and caution. Would work better in conjunction with a tarp.

No I have not used it for camping, I use it for a spare bed at home. Yes the pad is removable

I've used it over 30 nights and have had no problems with it inside the tent. I'm using it in a 2 person tent (REI Half Dome) with the standard ground cover.

We bought this tent last year and it's been great, however if your camping in those kinds of conditions I'd invest in a wall tent or a camper.

Yes, we purchased this tent and used it in June for 4 day camping trip. It was our first time camping and we loved it! The tent was perfect.

I only used it once so far, but it was an easy set-up. The poles are "permanent", not separate. You just swivel out the poles & push the top up. If you watch any of the videos of the Coleman instant tents, you'll get the idea. I love it.

We have taken this tent camping a few times and absolutely love it! I have tried to pay attention to the size of campsites when reserving them, but so far it has not been an issue. On our last trip the small room that sticks out from the side (making the "L" shape in the tent) was on a bit of a down hill slope, but that did not affect the stability of the rest of the tent and didn't turn out to be a problem. So far we haven't encountered any problems, but the tent would be difficult to set up on a small space that is clearly marked out (e.g. with railroad ties or some other barriers).

Bought it for camping and haven't used it yet. Others I camp with have had them for a couple of years and recommended it.

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price. I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Its definitely not a backpacking tent.. It's a little heavy but the convenience of putting it up in just a matters of minutes is so worth it. I have had several coleman tents and this one is by far the easiest. I would recommend the 6 person. It was perfect for my daughter and me and all out bags and hiking gear. Great tent!

The item can be used in a variety of location. Please be mindful of the soil, you may need additional anchors for the sand. Also, keep in mind the tent is not wind rated and we do not warranty weather related damages.

I personally think it's too heavy/bulky to transport. It's really big and a pain to roll up and put away. I would not recommend it for camping.

I have one on my boat, and it has worked well. The unit itself doesn't seem to get too hot -- an important concern when leaving it on and unattended for a week at a time. Just wondering what kind of tent has an AC outlet!

yes, it works great for that. I read all the time with others in the tent after others have gone to sleep. The only problem I've had with Petzl Tikkina 2 after two years their electrical contacts don't hold up well.

I used it outside at sporting events. It has a protective grate on it, but stuff could still melt on it. I read others have used it in tents.
