Not sure if you mean 2-3 person in tent numbers or in real life numbers, but I have used an 8-person Coleman Skylodge for 3 adults in high winds and had no issues. It actually rained a couple of times on trips along with the wind with no issues as long as I staked it down with good stakes. Only has doors in front, but has windows on all sides.
I got the coleman skylodge 8-person on ebay for about $160 shipped. It's listed about $400 on the Coleman site. It is a quick set up tent, and has been good for me. It's a little heavy, but I will trade that for the ease of set up every time.
I would go with a Coleman Skylodge Instant Tent, at minimum 8-person. I have the 8 person and the 4 person and they both are solid. The 8-person should allow for a queen size air mattress and plenty of room for "stuff". If you can swing it, the 10-person may be better because your family can grow with it as you need more space. I wouldn't get it directly from Coleman, they are cheaper elsewhere.
Yes, they make a 10-person Skylodge. I have only used the 8, and it wasn't hard to put up alone. I had it staked and up in about 4 minutes. The 10 shouldn't be much different. Instant tents are very convenient for set up.
I have the Coleman Skylodge 8 person we mean to get the four. It is such a breeze especially when moving camp sites too. Only caveat is its size when being packed. I just throw it on the roof rack.
We have the Coleman 8 person Skylodge. It has plenty of ventilation to limit condensation. It’s easy to set up and price fits your budget. I can’t speak to the fit when using cots, we camp with a queen and a twin air mattress and it has room to spare with 10 days worth of gear.
I have a 4,6 and 8 person Coleman Insta-tent. I take the 8 person when my wife goes with me. Plenty of room, actually has a divider to section it off into two rooms. Get the biggest tent you can afford. You'll never regret extra space,
I've used 4,6,8 man Coleman Instant Tents for years. Goes up in about 3 minutes, comes down in about 8 minutes (you have to roll it and smash it back in the carrying bag.
Oh this one I have covered. Taking two young kids camping solo for years as my wife doesn't like to camp. Colman instant paired with cots. It has poles always attached and sets up like an easy up. Realistically I have it up in less than 5 minutes even with the kids helping and then we can play. I learned the most important factor to look at is easy. Not what's the best or the most sturdy. Nope what's quick and easy that way you actually use it.
I can't speak to durability, but my Coleman EZ has lived a long life through a lot. But tent sizes seem to be incredibly deceiving. There's two of us and a 6-person tent is tight. I may be a snob?, but if the tent fits in roughly the same-sized bag, go for a larger tent.
Try Coleman Skylodge Instant tent. Extremely easy to use. Only downside is occasional leakage.
We have a Coleman dark room instant-up. We’ve got the 10 man, so it’s pretty bulky, but it comes in smaller sizes. I particularly love the dark room feature - awesome for day time naps for the little ones.
