Pros and cons
Pros
- A separate storage area can keep camping gear or muddy boots outside the sleeping space.
- The blackout bedroom is a specific benefit for festival campers or anyone wanting to reduce early-morning light.
- The listed two-room layout and four-person capacity suit small family or group trips.
Cons
- At 6.6 kg in the pack-size claim, it is a substantial load for buyers prioritising a light backpacking tent.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: dimensions are given as both 3L x 1W x 3H millimetres and 3.4 x 2.8 x 1.3 m (LxWxH), while weight is listed as 5.2 Kilograms and 6.6 Kilograms as minimum trail weight and in the pack-size claim. The claimed rainfly material is also ambiguous, and the title's Kobuk Valley Camping Tent does not specify the 4 Plus BlackOut variant. Confirm the selected variant and its dimensions, packed weight and fabric details before buying.

Frequently asked questions
How many people is the Coleman Kobuk Valley 4 Plus listed for?
The product details state an occupancy of four people. The listing does not establish how comfortable that capacity is with personal gear.
Does this tent have a blackout bedroom?
Yes. The maker claims the bedroom blocks 99% of daylight. This is a listing claim, not an independently verified measurement.
What are the tent's packed dimensions and weight?
The supplied information conflicts: it gives a pack size of 58 x 20 x 19 cm and 6.6 kg, while another entry lists 5.2 Kilograms and the dimensions field gives 3L x 1W x 3H millimetres. Confirm the selected variant's details before purchase.
What is listed as included?
The manufacturer contents list names a carry bag, peg and pole. The features also say tent pegs are included, without specifying their quantity in that claim.
