Core Equipment - Instant Cabin Tent with Full Rainfly

I like my Core 6 person instant cabin tent with the full rain fly. I set it up by myself every time. I also always set up my Ozark Trail 10 person instant cabin tent on my own. The tents are heavy but go up super quick. I would recommend the core brand one more than Ozark trail. The core tent I have has a full rain fly that goes from top of tent to ground and has taped seams and is more waterproof than the Ozark trail one.

Have you camped before? If not I would look at a Core instant tent, especially one with a full fly. The Magellan tent looks like a huge PITA especially for a newbie.

I have the Core instant up tent. All poles are attached. I put it up and take it down myself.

My core instant tent went through damn near hurricane storms and not even a drip. My son had a Coleman that went through an unbelievable storm on the beach and stay dry and a bone and standing. All the other tents were mangled. You don't need to spend the big bucks - unless you genuinely want to. There are many folks raving about Ozark Trails quality - they love them.

Love the Core Instant Cabin. Goes up super fast and is cheap at Costco

Get an instant cabin tent for the adults (5 minute setup) and possibly smaller tents for the kids. Your mom will likely also need a cot or tall air mattress, getting up off the floor or even sleeping on a hard floor can be too much as you get older. Core, Coleman, and Walmart all make inexpensive instant tents. Our core tent has lasted for 3 years of monthly camping trips. It's not great at heavy rain, but the newer models are supposed to be better.

We just picked up the core instatent and love it. Takes about 90 secs to set up, plenty of room. It’s not a backpacking tent but we’re really happy with it!

Look at Core Cabin tents. I think Costco sells them. Easy to set up for first timers and you can stand in them. Get a 6 or 8 person. Keep in mind that the number is the number of average sized sleeping bags it will hold crammed next to each other.
