I did it last year with this specific tent (https://www.coreequipment.com/products/10-person-straight-wall-cabin-tent-14-x-10) - it's 14' x 10'. I also had me 12' x 12' canopy and was able to park my 2019 Honda HRV inside. My SUV is probably similar size to yours. Let me just say, it was TIGHT. TIGHT TIGHT. That was the first time we've used that tent at a festival that has the 20' x 20' spaces. It's awesome for festivals like Hula where there are no size dimensions for the camp space, but I would likely not take it back to a festival like Roo where the space is limited. I'm a bigger dude and that is exactly why we got this tent, and we LOVE it - the room is so nice inside, and I like being able to actually standup inside of it. I think we are gonna try and find a slightly smaller one that we can still stand up in for these type of festivals. Also, you are gonna want a canopy - that tent is gonna be so hot during the day. Don't make that mistake. I think a 12' x 10' or 10' x 10' would work much better. My canopy is also ridiculously huge too. I think we 10' x 10' for the canopy would work better as well. So yes, it's possible, but I dunno if I would recommend it. We used every last inch of that space lmao.

I have a napier sport and its just okay. I have moved to a costco 10 person tent that does not attach to the car but it works better for us. Since we have power at our camping sites for the car, we also bring along a heater/cooler dyson fan thing for the tent and I just sleep in the car with the doors shut.

Go with the Core 10 person imo. I have one for just me and my girlfriend. Ours is the lighted version. You can stand up and plenty of room when we bring the kids along.

I've seen some recently that advertise two sizes. One is the "standard sleeping bag with no floor space" and a second "sleeping bags with space for gear" The Core 10 Person tent I found at goodwill has space for 5 "and gear" as an example. https://www.coreequipment.com/cdn/shop/files/40034.jpg?v=1755614247&width=1946 Big tents though, heavy.

This is a great answer. The Core 10 is a great tent and isn’t difficult to setup. I’ve had it out in sideways rainstorms, and even snow, and it’s held up. Plus it’s nice to have the space when it’s terrible outside. We setup chairs and a small table.

No, the floor is a good material. Haven’t had an issue.

I have a Core 10 person tent (the big one from Costco) which is 10x14 and found out the hard way not all of Yellowstone's campsites will accommodate it. Some campsites top out at something like 12'x12' but others go up to 18'x18', Now I have to check every campgrounds info carefully to see if there are any limitations on tent size.
