Instant Up & Pop Up Tents

About

Coleman Instant Up tents are the fastest-pitching pole tents in our range. The pre-attached HUB frame means the entire structure extends from a single central hub — no threading poles, no assembly. Most models pitch in under 3 minutes. For families who camp regularly and want the convenience of a near-instant setup without switching to inflatable, Coleman Instant Up is the benchmark. The range runs from compact 4-person models through to large 10-person cabin tents. All feature Coleman's WeatherTec system — fully seam-sealed construction with welded floors and inverted seams — and the taller cabin-style models offer full standing headroom, making them genuinely liveable for multi-day stays.
