Highline 10

A few weekend trips annually in Spring/summer? TBH, a 10x10 Coleman Sundome will fit the bill at a very affordable price. It’s what my family of four used while my kids were growing up. Two poles, plus a third for the rain fly, made it possible for one adult to set up. Ours lasted 8 years before I gave it away to a friend. At the other end of the spectrum, I just bought a Springbar 10x10. It’s been up in our yard for two weeks and has stayed completely dry through several showers. It also held up to a storm this week with 60mph gusts in the area. Big canvas tents are strictly car camping gear, though. Whereas the Coleman is light enough to carry a bit to a campsite.

Agreed. My spring bar 10x10 is dang close with two adults one 7yo and a 80lbs lab.

I absolutely love my spring bar. Two adults one kid and a lab. The Kodiak is similar, I’ve been on a USA made kick for the last few years though. I’d personally figure with a 14 and 11 yo they get their own tents or share depending on their sex. Ours will be 8 next year and I’m wanting to have them in their own tent. Dog can sleep with whoever. He usually sleeps on a lees with the door partially open on the spring-bar. If you want everyone in one spot I’d probably look into a pole tent that works with a stove. And then cots as most don’t have floors. I have a few cots and as a tallish guy I like ones that don’t have a bar where my feet are, they are more like what soccer players get pulled of the field when they are hurt.
