Coleman uses the latest technology and a rigorous testing regime to ensure that we keep you protected at all times - whatever the weather.

The 'L' Version of the Aspen™ features an extended porch area , with windows on either side , this extended porch area can be used as a living area on damper days!

trouble is, I'm not going as much now as OH has 'gone off' camping as he finds it uncomfortable getting up from the floor. It's very similar to the Coleman Castle Pines 4L - I had to look hard to find the differences which are subtle. Sounds like you use the same equation as my bike owning friends - the ideal number of bikes / tents is the number you have already, plus one. Which is odd, as I hated going through them as a child, the Blackwall tunnel frightened me as we travelled to go on holiday, clutching Tedward.Say goodbye to the unpredictable weather and hello to a cosy and efficient way to keep your clothes in top condition.

Perfect for the entry-level camper or weekend camper, offering a full-standing height tent, with a large living space, and an open front porch design. Additional features include barrier free access to ensure easy movement in and out of the tent, extra large bedrooms for a great night's sleep and convenient cable openings in the tent wall that allow easy accessibility to a power source outside the tent. Moving into the main living area, head room is good, there’s a side door with inner mesh panel so if it’s warm you can roll up the outer and leave the mesh zipped in place. During a low point during the non-camping months I had a bee in my bonnet about a tunnel tent with integral front porch (not just a peaked cap - more of a full bonnet).

The Aspen™ 4L has a generous and bright living area in addition to the spacious porch with plenty of space for dining together or storing camping equipment and bags. Halfords Osaki 3 'bed and breakfast' tent (used quite alot and fab, other than the sloping front entrance which lets in wet). The sleeping inners offer a generous sleeping area with 70cm width per camper ensuring there is enough space to get comfortable throughout the night. Proper use of sunscreen combined with shelters made with UVGuard™ protection fabric can go a long way in the battle against sunburn and UV exposure.

Bedroom-wise, the inner has a PU groundsheet which gives some stability, and clips, toggles to attach to the fly. The flysheet is also treated with Coleman’s UVGuard providing SPF 50 protection from the sun’s rays.

A lovely space to sit and watch the world go by, thanks to it’s size as well as those large side windows. That was with 2 of us pitching the tent, it could be done by one person but it is a lot more fiddly (something we will explain in a future article/video).

The living area is particularly spacious - a real party tent - with room for a table and 4 chairs which isn't often the case.The main entrance features a drop-down doorway providing barrier-free access reducing possible trip hazards. Berth – This shows the number of people that the tent can sleep within the inner tents of a model of tent, in line with the industry standard. If you are on a tighter budget, only have one or two kids, and want to get away camping at the weekends, the Coleman Aspen 4 is well worth considering. I spent a great hour exploring the tents, smart accessories from Human Comfort, and chewing the camping fat with James. So now you're (potentially) left with Big Bertha for longer camps and your new Aspen 4L for shorter stays.
