You want a 10ft by 10ft Kodak canvas tent. It will be the last you ever buy.

Kodiak Canvas Flex Bow. This will stand in 60 mph winds. It will also last a life time.

I have the 10x10. Its easier to find a nice spot for it. Wish i went with the 10x14 for that extra room. Use lag bolts for stakes. With a drill driver. It saves time in setting up. Also saves on the back.
Buy your last tent first. No more damp bed, wind is never a problem. Canvas is the way to go. This one is cheaper. Less windows.

I have the 10x10 kind of wish i went with the bigger one. You can fit a queen air mattress with 2 ft on each side to walk.
You use lag bolts as stakes? Its so much faster with a drill/driver. I have a little standup tent i put a cassette toilet in. As i get older i find i need one closer . Shit happens. Im going to post a vid of my tent in 50 mph winds just outside RMNP. I cant believe how well it held up. I know i have it on some HD. Put on a 4in topper for max comfort on the air matt.
I'll stick with my Kodiak canvas tent thank you very much. Does well in the wind and should last me for the rest of my life as long as I take care of it.
Since I usually camp close to where I park carrying isn't a problem. Usually takes me 10-15 minutes to setup and about the same to take down. You can look at this site as I have found they typically have the best prices. [https://www.competitiveedgeproducts.com/kodiak-canvas-tents](https://www.competitiveedgeproducts.com/kodiak-canvas-tents) I have the 10x14 flexbow and while it will fit 4 people and a dog it could be a bit cramped so you might want to look into the cabin tents. The biggest con would be weight if you are wanting to be far from a vehicle then canvas probably isn't a good choice.
I'll second the love of a Kodiak Flex Bow tent. Buy once cry once and have a tent that if you take care of it will last 20+ years.
Springbar or Kodiak. Both have their pluses and minuses. I also love to take my 28" Blackstone with me while camping.
Kodiak tents hold up well in the wind. Many stories of them going through 50-60 mph winds and no problems. They aren't the cheapest but they are quality.
I have a Kodiak canvas 10x10 delux model and love it. We use it for winter camping and it's just me and my wife with a lot of gear, cots, heater and stuff for like 10 days. It's surprisingly small once you get it all in and set up. We could certainly add 2 people, but the cots would basically span the width. I bet you would like the 10x14 depending b how you plan to set up for sleep. I am a massive fan of this tent though. I can set it up single handed in less than 10 minutes, and we just recently experienced a storm. 40mph sustained winds and 50mph gusts at 20°f. We were cozy inside. I did have to put a lot of additional guy lines out. Instead of the tent stakes I also use 10" long 1/2" diameter lag screws/bolts. The steaks they come with are perfectly fine, just hard to pull out when the ground is frozen. I also think the bolts have more holding power and an easier to drive in. It's a truly awesome tent, very well designed and durable. We’ve had it for 4 years now and have spent many nights in it. I don't think I would like a wall tent due to the setup being so much more involved, but you do get more space.
Look at Kodiak canvas flexbow 10x14 or 10x10. Canvas tents you can stand in and are very well made. And they set up solo in less than 10 minutes.
Absolutely. I love my Kodiak.
Love my 10x10 Kodiak flexbow deluxe VX
My Flex bow has been through some pretty good storms
Love my Kodiak flexbow. Over $400 though.
Another vote for the Kodiak. I have the 10x10 and I stay in it 3-4 days a week August through mid-November in Idaho. The floor liner is nice to cover the “cold plastic” referenced above. I have the canvas liner but actually prefer a padded moving blanket. Rain and snow are not an issue and mine has been through some hellish wind storms with no issues.
