Bought this exact set a year or so ago on clearance. I bought two of them so that wife and I could take our two kids and try out camping and this kit is great for testing if you like camping. camping can be a bit overwhelming to get started and this gets you a great base to not break the bank if you want to go spend a weekend camping. Sure it won't survive a monsoon, but it has been fine in showers. The sleeping bags are plastic-y, but are fine. They would be the first thing i'd suggest replacing. We used this kit, found out we love camping and have since upgraded everything. People will tell you how to spend buckets of money on the best gear, but for family camping trips, coleman and walmart crap is fine (and some really good).
$12 for 2 chairs, $20 for 2 sleeping bags and $35 for tent, $10 for folding stool
Still less than $89
I am calculating using ozark trail costs only
Not waterproof
You can try spraying water proof stay on it
Don't forget zipper it leaks

I live here in Louisiana where I grew up fishing, hunting and camping every weekend. My dad always had a cheap tent and we spent many many nights out under the stars and under a rainy sky. Every fall we would waterproof the tent with a spray can of Scotch Guard to get ready for the new hunting season. We never had any trouble. Sometimes if we were expecting truly heavy rainfall he would just throw up a small cheap blue tarp over the tent as extra protection.
My dad is a great man but we were dirt poor and he hunted and fished every weekend to put food on the table for a family of 4. He was and still is, the greatest outdoorsman I will ever know. So if you can't afford an expensive tent, get a cheap one like this and go to Walmart and buy a can of heavy duty scotch guard. Put your tent up in the yard and spray every single inch of it and then leave it to dry overnight. In the morning, spray the seam areas and around the zipper area again and let it sit out till that afternoon and then pack it up. It will be good for about a year before it needs respraying.
I can't tell you how many nights we spent in one of those cheapo wally world tents. I remember camping out on sandbars on the Red River and catfishing all night long with Kenny Rogers, Waylon and Willie on the radio. I think of all the nights we spent in the deer or squirrel camp and roasting a hot dog over the fire while my dad cleaned his gun for the next mornings hunt. Yeah, we always had cheap camping gear but the memories we made will last a lifetime. I can afford anything I want now but don't let anyone tell you that you can't camp in a cheap tent. I'm living proof that it not only can be done, but you can stay dry and make lifetimes of memories doing it.
If you can afford better go for it but if you can't, then grab this and take your kids camping. Make some memories of your own. Just don't forget the bug spray if your from the south, cause sometimes it's more important than the tent lol

What do you recommend for a better quality tent for four? (Next level from this). First time camper but want to buy good quality tent and other camping items. Kids still very young so don't want to take any chances. Thank you.

Coleman sundome has always been my go to for inexpensive car camping tent. Always used them as boy scouts, and will be using a >15yo one for a 2 night trip this coming weekend.
About 7y ago we were in a bad storm and my friends said there was about 2" of water runoff running right into the thing, and didn't have a drop inside.
As others have noted, aways put a tarp underneath, and a "3 person tent" is really a "2 people with gear" tent. I have a Coleman queen size air mattress that fits in my sundome 3 person with just barely enough room for 2 small weekend-size backpacks on the side of the mattress. Tight for my wife and I, but works, while perfect for an adult and a kid.
So, Coleman sundome 6 should be fine for family of 4.
If one of the kids is in a pack and play, or you want the dog in there too, the Coleman Montana 8 has served our 5 person family plus dog well. Harder to put up than sundome, but much more cubic footage inside.

Thank you very much. I probably should buy 6 person Coleman for 4 person then. Excellent suggestions , much appreciated. 👍

It really depends on what you're trying to do: backpacking, car camping, glamping, etc.
We upgraded to a wal-mart 10=person easy up tent (~$150). The thing is huge, super easy to setup, and we have way more space than we need. We setup a queen inflatable for wife and I, and two twins for the kids. We are all about getting outdoors, but not roughing it. We rent a spot at a developed camp with showers and bathrooms. Our focus is all on hiking, playing, swimming outdoors, etc.. I want a great night of sleep, lots of room,and simple setup and this thing has been great.
As a side note, it doesn't matter what tent you get,some guy will say it leaks... Get some scotch guard and you'll be fine.
Not for nothing, but I visited a Walmart in Keller, TX Sunday morning to get some other items and at the front door they had a pallet of these for $50/each. I scooped the last one and have already stored it for if/when we may ever need it. Happy hunting!
Best product photo is the man on one knee proposing to the woman with this cheap camping setup. Frugal and capable isn't a bad proposition.
Well they're in the wilderness, so she could say 'no' to his proposal, but the thing is she's not going to say no. You know, because of the implication.

Regardless, lets stick to facts that this person favors NCSU and is more likely to have graduated from there (or not...).
