Our Ozark trail 10 person instant cabin tent we bought last year has been perfect for us (family of 5). It was only like 200 bucks. I’m hoping it continues to hold up, so far it’s been awesome Also, I’m so grateful I went for an instant cabin tent, makes setup with young kids running around so much easier

A lot of people sh*t on Ozark trail but they have pretty solid instant tents. I’ve had the 10 person instant tent for 6 years and it’s been very sturdy. I can set it up by myself in 5 minutes and half that time with someone else helping. The side zipper gave out last year and I haven’t been able to fix it so it’s probably time for a new one. I still use it though. I Bobby pinned the side door shut lol. I also have a vevor inflatable 4-6 p tent and it’s surprisingly sturdy. I used to talk trash about inflatable tents because in my experience, anything inflatable eventually develops a leak and then it’s a game of find the leak. But the tent material is very strong. I’ve only had this tent for 1 year and I’m pretty sure down the line I’ll probably get a leak somewhere but so far it’s really good. The big draw back is that they’re very pricey.

Rather than get something expensive and that's designed only to be used by experts, I'd suggest the Ozark trail l-10 that goes on the outside of an easy up and then using the easy up as covered space. When you're camping with two or three small kids what you want is a lot of space for them to wiggle around inside the tent. What you don't want is a tent where you can't stand up or sit up and have to slide your way in and then sit inside a mummy bag motionless

Do whatever you want :)  We have a family of 6 and bring  like 3 tents the largest of which is a 10 person tent that is ridiculously large inside.  We have like a rotation to children in the tent depending on weather and who got scared and well basically don’t really care what anyone thinks?  We got the 10 person Ozark Trails tent from Walmart and that thing can fit like 3 queen size air mattresses so it’s definitely got whatever room you are looking for lol.

I have this one which has been great so far. It’s really heavy though. I suppose it doesn’t take up a ton of car space - if they got the6 person version (if there is one) that would probably work out fine. There’s always space under a cot to store stuff also.

Our family of four use an Ozark Trail 10 person tent. It was like $100 and it’s been great. Held up in two heavy rains, I was impressed. With kids and dogs you will be glad for the extra room. You will need room for bags and shoes, etc. and it fills up quick.

I ran a instant up Ozark trail for well over a decade. Went a few years with a small camper and sold it to get into a nice gazelle and I couldn't be happier. I don't do hiking/backpacking due to disabilities but it's perfect for car camping. Throw it on my roof rack get to camp and 10 min later my tent is set up.

I for one love my gazelle tent. It really feels like a buy once cry once purpose. My Ozark trail lasted many years fairly easy to put up. Then I got my gazelle and was blown away. Goes up so much easier. Materials don't feel like 1 month of combined sun exposure will make it all brittle like the cheap tents/canopies. I also just updated to a set of xped megamats for the wife and I. A bit pricy. But so much better than a air mattress or cot both in comfort and insulation for those cold nights.
