I have the older 6 person version of this tent. It has a 7' center height. My only complaint is it's a little challenging to set up by yourself. My ex (5'11”) and I (6'5") bought it specifically because of the center height and straight sides. After we broke up and I mostly camp by myself I bought another tent that is easier to set up with only one person. The moral of this story is make sure your relationship is going to last before you buy this tent. Hahaha

Third on the ALPS Mountaineering tents. My family has used a 6P for car camping for several years. We use an orange plastic tarp for a groundsheet. It has aluminum poles.
For a week of Cub Scout camp in the summer, something you can stand up in to change is good. We’ve used an ozark trail one for the past three summers and been fine, but that’s with a family of four. I’ll thread that one below so this comment doesn’t get deleted if the link gets flagged.
For just one parent one scout, we’ve used the done style 4 person tents from Alps and they’re pretty comfy, but even short adults can’t fully stand in them. At that age, most of our cub scouts don’t mind sleeping just in a sleeping bag on the ground (I’m also cubmaster for our small pack).
Some families like to use the Coleman quick cabins. These are heavy and don’t do great in high winds, but if you’re driving right up to the campsite they’re super quick to set up and have good head room. Links incoming
"Dew" doesn't typically get in your tent, it's condensation if you don't have enough airflow. You want to open a vent so that warm moist air escapes. Even if it's cold out. Especially if it's cold out.
And Alps Mountaineering tents are pretty bomb proof and reasonably priced. I use a 4 person for just me, but I have it setup so I can sit in the tent if it's inclement weather.
Came here to say Alps Mountaineering. I have their 4p tent for car camping and one of their aluminum tables. Good stuff, not light, but therefore it's more durable.
