I like my Kelly far out 2 person tent. Great for star gazing and has two doors.
Check out the Kelty far out tent. It has a rainfly that you can attach and roll back halfway and secure. If it starts raining in the night you can unhook it and roll it down and secure it easily and quickly. I have car camped in Texas summers in it.
Kelty Far Out - think I have the 3 person. Very easy to setup by yourself. Some color coding too so easy to see that the gold ends go at what will be your feet in the tent (think gold toes). Plus has a flap on each side as well. It will fit yr air mattress and has a footprint. It’s my second Kelty, they’re great tents esp for solo camping.
I use a kelty 3 man for car camping- it’s light and plenty of room for gear and myself and enough room for the get times my wife came camping. and I like it enough that I got the 2p backpack version. It also probably way und your budget number
I have been an REI truther for years, and have owned their Half Dome tent as well as a Kelty 2 person tent. I know how valuable it can be to have nice gear, but recently I’ve been thinking: is there any reason not to spend $50 on a tent from amazon, and if it breaks just buy another one? I could do this six times before spending as much as I would on a tent from a major retailer. As long as i check the weather, as I bet amazon rain flies aren’t trustworthy, is there any downside to choosing a cheap ass tent over an expensive one? Edit: seeing comments about waste. I admit I was thinking only about money, and you’re right I don’t want to be dumping Amazon tents and right
I have been using Kelly 2 person tents as my backpacking tent forever. I spray the fly and tent down with a silicone waterproofing spray. Never ever had an issue. Most important thing is a good ground tarp that does not extend past the base of your tent, if anything it should be an inch or two under the base. I use old work tarps cut down perfectly to size. Lightweight, cheap and durable.
