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

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
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.
They're basically the same. If you're getting into camping and want an easy to setup good all around tent to test the waters before dropping a lot more money, both are great choices. I personally had the Core for three years before wanting to upgrade to something a little higher end and that could be brought on an airplane, and I went with the North Face Wawona 6.
The cabin tent i have is a bit pricey like over 200$ but Its huge and I was able to set up it myself. Im five foot nothing so it was difficult but if I was a bit taller it wouldve been easy. So far it holds up in high winds and is spacious. Its Core 6 person instant cabin tent. Its basically a pop up tent. I can fit a buccees foldable table, a chair, 2 laundry baskets, and a cot in here.
Get a pop up. I got the Core 6 and it's perfection imo.
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.
