This isn’t a hot tent, but I’ve camped in Wisconsin winters in it several times and been very comfortable. I insulate the floor with cheap moving blankets from harbor freight and use a cot with a high r-value pad. The appropriate bag is important too. I’ve camped in it down to about 5 degrees and that set up hasn’t failed me. I also like to hang a small Uco candle lantern from the top to help with condensation. https://sherpers.com/alps-mountaineering-tasmanian-3-tent/
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.
Alpa mountaineering 3. Its held up well over the years and its easy to set up and break down
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.
I originally bought the Timberline 2 for backpacking in rugged terrain during Fall/Winter seasons in northern VT and NY. The simple A-frame style is superior to most designs in high wind or snowy conditions, but most folks today demand more space and comfort. As a retiree, with creaky bones, who can no longer manage hiking, I now normally use an Alps 3-man dome tent or a Core 4 cabin-walled tent. These two are not as rugged as the Timberline, but are spacious and inexpensive. I drive an F150 with a full 8' canopy so I keep the Timberline is case of full-storm weather. The Pacific coast can have wicked winds and sheeting rain during the colder months.
