As a Manhattanite, there are few things I dream of as much as escaping into the wilderness to touch some grass. Camping season can’t come soon enough.
Unsurprisingly, my survival skills are out of practice, and even when they were at their best, I don’t think I’d be able to set up a solid tent all by myself. The pages of instructions, poles poking out everywhere, clips with no clear placement; I’d throw my hands up in seconds.
What I needed was something like the Coleman Instant Tent with 1-Minute Setup. A portable, durable, easy-to-assemble shelter that even the less-advanced outdoor enthusiasts should be able to have standing in seconds.
At just under $150 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, the Coleman Instant Tent is a hard-to-pass deal for any of us aspiring to get outdoors this spring (or maybe throw a backyard slumber party, for that matter). Reviewers say it’s super sturdy, spacious, and easy to store.
Remember, during this five-day shopping extravaganza, shoppers also have the opportunity to snag a sea of camping and tent deals from more outdoor gear brands like Lifestraw, Stanley, YETI, and more.
Happy trails!
The Coleman Instant Tent with 1-Minute Setup is a practical choice for beginning campers. Designed with pre-attached poles and an intuitive frame system, it should take roughly 60 seconds to have the entire shelter standing. Sturdy steel poles, double-thick fabric, and an advanced WeatherTec system protect against the elements, so you stay warm and dry, no matter the conditions. Available in four sizes to fit the whole family.

The Big Spring Sale is an Amazon-hosted seasonal sale event aimed at popular products to shop for spring. It’s similar to Amazon Prime Day, offering a wide range of deals and discounts on various products, spanning the final week of March.
Shoppers have 7 days to take advantage of discounts. This sale runs a full week, beginning at 12 a.m. PT on Tuesday, March 25, through 11:59 p.m. PT on Monday, March 31.
The Big Spring Sale ends March 31 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on April 1 their time to shop the deals.
Unlike Prime Day, the Spring Sale is open to all Amazon shoppers. However, Prime members will enjoy exclusive deals and early access to certain promotions. Interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits, with no strings attached.
From reporting on Amazon sales throughout the years, we can tell you for certain that it’s the ideal period to upgrade your outdoor furniture, restock spring cleaning supplies, find new spring fashion pieces and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.
Already wondering when the next Amazon Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year. While Amazon hasn’t confirmed the dates for Prime Day 2025, it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July — similar to previous years.
