I have the 10x14 and love it. Biggest drawback is taking it down wet. Perfect base camp out in Utah or dryer area's. Moved to Washington and it can be a pain to dry out.

I loved my 10x14 Kodiak canvas tent anytime I took it out. Thing was huge and had an annex outside too. Do it.

I’d get a way bigger tent but that’s just me. Rocking a 10x14 flex bow for only 1 toddler

Kodiak or Springbar canvas tent. For 6 people you’ll want a 10x14. They’re pricey but very worth it IMO.

Well, with 5 people plus 2 dogs, space and airflow are going to matter a lot especially in Colorado weather. Between the two, the bell tent is better for more space and feeling less cramped which makes a big difference with kids and dogs moving around but it's setup takes a bit more effort. Kodiak 10×14 is also good quality and much easier to pitch but with that many people inside, it can start to feel tight unless you’re really organized with sleeping layouts. Ventilation-wise, Kodiak is good with the windows, though bell tents can still stay comfortable if you manage the doors and vents properly. I came across [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/travelrecos/comments/1pkernc/best_6person_camping_tents_recommended_by/) while researching family tents, you can also take help from this

We have the kodial flexbow 10x14 and love it. It's survived tornado warning storms, 50 mph winds on a beach, and numerous other events where other tents were blown away. Edit: i thought about getting a gazelle tent instead but I wanted canvas for colder weather camping and I'm not a fan if the doors on the gazelle.

Agreed. Kodiak flexbow 10x14 vx all the way. Easier to set up than a bell tent also.

I have a Kodiak 10 X 14 flexbow. Though it is heavy, it is quicker and easier to setup than my 4 person Coleman. If you get a tent with a lot of stake points, get a drill attachment. It makes things quick as well.

I don't have much in terms of comparing the wall tents, but I do have a Kodiak Flex-Bow tent. In the pictures it looks plastic, but they are canvas tents which come with an additional weather coating on them. Definitely not a plastic tent. It's been in heavy rain and winds with no issues.

Can't answer your question on the quick tents. I have a Kodiak flex-bow. If you choose one, get a drill with drill tent stakes. My daughter and I can setup the tent itself in 5 minutes.

It’s only a problem when you can’t find a large enough piece of flat ground to set it up on. Besides that, enjoy the space.  I take a 10x14 canvas Kodiak tent for myself when I go camping, because I hate being cramped and crowded and the extra comfort is worth the effort to set it up
