We have a 4p gazelle. It fits a queen size cot 285) about 18 inches of space on 3 sides. It’s so easy to set up! But heavy! And big! Now to also doesn’t have good ventilation for hot summer camping. The mesh is so thin it doesn’t allow for the breeze to flow through. However with a couple of usb fans it was doable on a 100+ degree camping trip in Kansas. Anyways the gazelle saved my relationship with the ease of camping setup!
Gazelle is amazing! But. It’s very heavy and long so you need a truck or big car to travel with it. It’s over 5 ft in the bag. And not so good in heavy wind and heat. The mesh is very small and not very good air flow. I have both the t4 and small gazebo. The gazebo is about 10 degrees warmer inside it than out because it blocks the air so wonderful fall / spring camping. Not so good in Kansas in August.
I love my [Gazelle T4](https://gazelletents.com/collections/4-person-tents/products/t4-hub-tent-alpine-green-1) and at 6' tall, I can stand up with some room to spare.
In my 60s and car camp. Here’s what I use:
Tent - Gazelle T4, plenty of room, can stand up, easy setup and take down. Use a Harbor Freight moving blanket on the tent floor for additional insulation.
Chair - Eno Lounger which I use inside the tent and a cheap folding chair for outside.
Sleep System - Coleman Trailhead cot, Exped Megamat ($$ but extremely comfortable), Sea to Summit Basecamp bag.
Pillow - Nemo Fillo Pillow (fits in sleeping bag hood during colder weather, inflatable so you can adjust firmness, foam and air construction that is very comfortable)
Have the T4 and it’s plenty roomy. Use a Coleman cot and have a Nemo chair inside as well. I’m 5’7” and can stand with plenty of headroom. Easy for me to setup and take down. Only downside is it can be a bit heavy and rather large, fits in my Highlander with the seats folded down.
Lol. No, we aren't bots. You'll see really positive reviews outside of reddit as well, including video reviews on YT.
The biggest draw is the ease of set-up. It's so nice to have it up in literally 1-2 minutes. But also the height all throughout the tent makes for a wonderful camping experience. I actually enjoy hanging out in my tent. It also feels sturdier than most tents but would definitely need guy lines in windy conditions. The only problem I have with it is its size when packed up in its bag. It can be a pain if you don't have a truck or van to transport it. Not everyone likes the door but I have no issues with it.
Look up the Gazelle T4. Good 3 season tent. Just note that it is incredibly long when packed up in its storage bag. But it goes up quicker than anything else on the market; poles are already attached. In strong winds, you'd definitely have to use guy lines.

A few years ago Academy Sports decided to use that same pop out technology, and now I have 2 *basically* [Gazelle clones](https://i.imgur.com/eiUXlrM.jpeg) that I paid less than $250 total. They are fking amazing tents. The blue one is my favorite. Butttttt Academy being Academy they never actually pushed it even though they are extremely awesome.

T4 is awesome. Mine has dealt with 50+mph winds and torrential rain like a champ.

I have the T4 which has been clutch in all weathers
I overland with my dog with the T4 for 18 months. Handled high winds, torrential downpours and 100 degree heat (exceptionally good ventilation). That picture was taken about a year into that trek. I'm 6'2" and could stand in it w/no problem
Very, the material is relatively thick and coated on the inside. Rain beads and rolls off the outside. The floor is removable and bathtub shaped. I've never had a problem and always have stayed dry even in the worst prolonged downpours. It is not a boat though if you get my meaning. Because it is self standing putting it up takes maybe two minutes, staking it down maybe another 5+ minutes. For reference quite a bit of my overlanding was in the PNW

Can't beat a Gazelle T4. Goes up in a minute great with wind and rain. In your price range.

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