Tasmanian 3-Person

Nemo makes excellent tents. I have the hornet elite 1p and the hornet regular 1p and the dragonfly 2p for when my husband and I go together. I love them all. They do have some cheaper tents that aren’t as light (ours are all 3 backpacking tents). I’d highly recommend Nemo, but like someone else said, there’s lots of good tents that aren’t super expensive. Our car camping tents are all Alps Mountaineering. We also LOVE them. Their 4 season tent is our fav and we have had it for many years and also recommend it too! It’s really reasonably priced for a 4 season. We camp the most in the Tetons and Yellowstone as we live near the parks and the 4 season is nice for that. I’d also recommend looking on www.steepandcheap.com for tents. They have great prices and it’s powered by backcountry so it’s legit.

Great company. I've had a 4 season tent by them for almost a decade now. That thing is indestructible and has handled crazy amounts of snow and storms.

I highly recommend Alps Mountaineering. Their 3 person tents range from $220-$300. They have a 4 season option. But if you want a super cheap option Academy has the Tellico 3 person tent for $30.

I love my Alps tent and they’re not too expensive.

Personally I have two Gazelle knock offs that are just absolute chefs kiss. Unfortunately that company sucks and they don’t make them anymore. I would be hesitant to buy an Ozark Trail tent, but I do have a $30 tent from Academy that I use for outdoor storage and it stays surprisingly dry. I love my Alps tent, and I think it was Eric on YouTube that did a budget trip and the Featherstone tent he really liked.

I've spent a lot of time in my Alps Mountaineering tent. It's not the best quality, or lightest, or cheapest, but it's the best of all 3. Great quality, not too bad on the price, and very easy to set up.

Alpa mountaineering 3. Its held up well over the years and its easy to set up and break down

The kingdom tents from REI are great. the tubeshape and features are quite nice so are the extras.... but if you want easy to put up an down the instant tents from Ozark Trail I used with my family when kids were young in cub scouts for 5+ years. I the integrated poles made for putting it up and down very quick and easy even by myself, and I could stand up and had 4 cots in them. The may be cheaper than others but there are a few brands that make the instant tents with integrated poles. I was surprised how well my ozark held up. also check out the alps brands, they are built well, but heavy.
