Discovery Trail 2

Kelty all day every day in that price range. Discovery Element 4 and it's footprint is well under budget and gets you to a little more comfortable size for storing your gear. If you're backpacking or otherwise prioritizing size/weight the Discovery Trail 2 or Grand Mesa 2 would work as well.

Going with a 2-person tent is definitely the right call with the doggo for sure and out of the ones you’re considering, the Marmot Tungsten 2P is probably the most reliable based on my personal opinion Full disclosure it’s a bit heavier than the others but it’s roomy, has solid ventilation, and holds up pretty well over the few years I used it PLUS their good warranty The Kelty Discovery Trail 2 is okay too cuz it’s durable and easy to set up but I think it has a bit less interior space compared to the Marmot especially with a big dog You can try [11 Best Two Person Tents for Camping and Backpacking in 2025](https://alaskanarrows.com/11-best-2-person-tent-camping-and-backpacking/) to see your other options too

I got the Discovery Trail from Kelty myself. It's out of stock right now but they have a lot of great options. It's light, ridiculously easy to set up and tear down, has a small vestibule for your shoes and stuff, and enough room for you and your pack.  https://kelty.com/products/discovery-trail-2?_pos=6&_fid=8ec700da1&_ss=c&variant=44267895128240

I have a Kelty discovery Trail 2 that has been excellent over the last few years. I JUST picked up a Nemo Dragonfly Osmo 2 from REI on sale and its AWESOME.

We have a kelty two person backpacking tent and two single backpacking mats that click together if you want to sleep side by side. we typically use our own sleeping bags but we do have a two person one that can also zip off into two individuals. She carries the tent and I carry all the food/water and cooking supplies to even up the weight.
