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

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'll second this comment with my limited experience. I did use a starter Coleman tent for several years and recently upgraded to a Kodiak Flexbow 10x10 (deluxe), having also considered the Wawona 6 for quite some time. No longer having to crawl around inside the tent is a fantastic experience and I've found it to be very comfortable for two people, with space for cots, a bin/table in between, storage at the head or foot of the cot, and space in between (Springbar's website has some great examples of how to lay out different tent sizes). I'll echo u/thedjbigc's comments about the breathability, insulation, etc. Canvas also feels nice to touch and sounds pleasant in the wind! I camped in the upper 30 degrees with 0 degree sleeping bags, and while it was still cold, it was noticeably warmer inside the tent. Most of these tents have a 6' 6" ceiling height, but they do curve down a little bit; another Redditor measured the height where the roof meets the front and back wall at 5" 10" so that's something to consider. I'm not sure if there are any tents that are consistently over 6' 6". It's worth noting that it's usually possible to get Kodiak tents at a cheaper price, but that's currently not possible due to the tariffs; I paid full freight in anticipation of the prices going up. Springbar tents don't seem to go on sale at all, and their more expensive tents are made in the US. Interestingly, I read an interview with their CEO who mentioned that most of their US-made tents are sold in Asia and most of their foreign-made tents are sold in the US. Go figure!
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.
I have the Kodiak canvas 10x10 flexbow. It is an ideal size for 2 people sleeping on cots, there is ample room inside.
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.
It’s heavy so perfect for car camping: the Kodiak flex bow 10x10. I’m 6ft 3 and had plenty of room to stand. Easy setup and take down with one person too
Love my 10x10 Kodiak flexbow deluxe VX
My Flex bow has been through some pretty good storms
Love my Kodiak flexbow. Over $400 though.
