Our verdict

A free standing dome with an attached screened porch and a rainfly built into the frame, for mild-weather car camping. The floor is small next to the person rating, so the airbed mention is the better size guide.

Overview

Not built for carrying far, the Coleman Steel Creek is a round tent with a screened porch and an integrated rainfly. Pre-attached poles and a hub shorten setup, and the WeatherTec system uses welded corners and inverted seams.

A fast pitch and a bug-free porch are the main attractions for a family that drives to the campsite. The limitation is space: the listed floor area is modest for the person rating, and the porch is small.

Who it's for

A couple or family with a queen airbed who want a screened spot for bags and shoes. Large groups, and hikers who carry gear, should look at roomier or lighter shelters.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pre-attached poles and hub
  • Free standing frame
Cons
  • Floor is small for six
  • Porch area is modest
  • Hand wash only
  • Heavy for carrying

Performance notes

The rainfly is attached to the frame, so one step raises both layers and the sealed corners and seams limit water entry. Pre-attached poles with a hub keep the frame together while it is pitched. The round shape sheds wind and rain from several directions.

Frequently asked questions

Will a queen airbed fit in the Coleman Steel Creek?

The title says it fits a queen-size airbed. The floor is 7 by 8 feet, so a second mattress is unlikely to fit.

Is the Coleman Steel Creek a winter tent?

No. It is listed as a 3 season tent.
