Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.

I like instant cabin tents for car camping. Works great for my family. I have an Amazon special 6 person blackout cabin tent that I’ve had used in some downpours and it worked just fine. Only set me back around $150. Best part about the cabin tents is the headroom - I can stand up straight and I’m 6’1. I’ll mention that I had the REI base camp 6 and sold it for this blackout tent.
Way overkill for size but my wife and I got the 6 person tent from Costco and that size is honestly great! We also take the dog and have space for what we want in the tent.
I bought a 6 man tent from Costco 4 years ago for $60. There are only 3 of us but it’s nice and spacious. They currently have the newer model but the price has gone up to $100. We camp 3-4 times a year and it’s just starting to get little holes. I have all my backpacking gear waiting for my son to get older so we can do the real deal but for now, it works and it’s so feasible. 10/10 highly recommend.
CORE is way above Ozark Trail. They just happen to have models sold at Costco. My issue is it isn’t a tub bottom.
Core Instant 6-person tent. Just for me
Core 6p instant is a game changer. 30 second 1 person.
I recommend an instant tent from Core.
