This is what I strap to my Goldwing for thousands of miles😂🤷♂️ definitely not for everyone or every bike, but I tend to live on the road for weeks at a time so I like the extra space and fast setup.

It’s huge😂 definitely hard to conceal when I’m trying to be “sneaky” where I camp, but man I lived out of it for a whole month doing 12k miles through the Rockies and it was well worth the hassle of strapping it to the back seat.
I am not a fan of the Coleman tents .
Especially those without a full fly . My experience has been poor performance in heavy rain . They leak at the seams
I am not familiar with late summer weather in California.
Each choice has ample space for bedding and gear .
Each choice has good ventilation for a cabin tent .
Honestly, we have has tents from LLBean , REI and Bass Pro shops .
Spent way too much money, and we have found the best family tent has been an Ozark Trail 8 man , 2 room tent .. they have a Bathtub bottom made out if tarp material, and they perform very very well .
My niece swears by the brand .
Go to Walmart and buy some Ozark trail camping goods .
Tent
Tarp
Rope
Hammocks
Or
Chairs
Sleeping bags
Cots or air matresses.
Headlamps
My niece uses this brand .
The tents and tarps are great . This summer will be year 6 with Ozark Trail gear
It is affordable and sturdy
That’s the biggest thing, my tent takes 5 mins to setup on the ground so if I wanted to go on a long over landing trip it still works, 9 times out of ten I’m not doing that I’m at a campground and leaving every so often and setting up and taking down every time I want to move is not something I would want to do
It sets up quick and without nearly causing a divorce 😂 that’s all I really want.
If it’s supposed to rain I usually stretch out a tarp anyways, kind of a habit I picked up as a kid camping with my parents. I have Never had expensive tents so idk probably not the best person to review
Agree with needing larger than a 6p for that many people plus gear. Ozark Trail 8 person cabin instant tent is good quality and price. I can put it up on my own and have fit 3 adults plus two dogs and gear pretty comfortably. You can make it into two rooms, has built in LED lights, good ventilation and can easily stand up and walk around in it.
The Walmart Ozark Trail tents are decent. You won’t get a big one for under $100, but I got our 8 person tent for like $120 I think. I am short so I can stand in it almost straight up.
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.
We use the Ozark instant up cabin tent, not the popup. We have used it through many rainstorms and many, many scouts putting it up and down. They aren't gentle handling jt. And it has lasted so far through the years. I am 5'2" as well and can put them up easily by myself. We have almost all of the size options of the tent. Pretty easy to pack up as well.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
