I'm looking to get a new camping tent, and have the following criteria:
1. Need to be minimum 4 person, more like a 6 person.
2. Willing to spend up to $500 (although I want to find a good value)
3. Does not need to be a 4-season tent, only 3-season.
4. Easy for one person to set up (I have a 10 year old who could be enlisted to help).
I've looked at Coleman, North Face, and others. But I'd like some recommendations from "experienced" campers.
Full-Coverage Rainfly, Double-Door, Simple Dome with Criss-Crossing Aluminum Poles
My recommendations, regardless of brand/logo:
Full-Coverage Rainfly,
Lots of Good Guy-Out Points for windy conditions.
Double-Door,
Simple Dome with Criss-Crossing Aluminum Poles are most stable and simplest to setup.
Roomy vestibule, preferably with its own pole for safe, comfortable cooking in sporty weather.
EXAMPLES:
Full-Coverage Fly Goes over the canopy. Partial Coverage Fly. Opening will let rain in and catch the wind.
Simple Dome With Criss-Crossing Aluminum Poles. Double-Door. Rainfly will go over this canopy when needed
Lots of Good Guy-out Points
Roomy vestibule, preferably with its own pole for safe cooking. Mine is a small tent but has a roomy vestibule and 2 doors so m tentmate can enter/exit without disturbing my cooking.
