This will do well in most weather situations. Extended downpour and winter months are the exceptions. The stakes will last you a while, but for moderate to heavy windstorms, or extended use, invest in better quality stakes.

The screen porch has zip up protection, and every door and window quickly zips up. It performs well in light wind and breezes. In windy weather, add extra stakes for stability. Another notable feature is the standard 10-year warranty that comes with this tent.

Sleeping eight adults is a tight fit. The WeatherTec system has a better design on this model than others by the company and performs well in light to moderate rain conditions.

Seven windows provide excellent ventilation along with two doors. Great for hot to warm weather. The height gives the inside openness.

Setting up is a breeze. Perfect if you have limited use with your hands or are inexperienced with tents. This model has some WeatherTec System features and is rain resistant. No rainfly so you’ll need to purchase one separately.

Choose one or two rooms. A hinged entry sits at the front and another zippered door is at the rear. If you use the divider, each room has its own entrance for added privacy. Realistically, it sleeps six to eight adults.

Color-coded poles make setting up simple. A ring hangs from the middle of the tent that is great for hanging lights. WeatherTec System is on this model, but many of the same problems are too. Make this one a fair weather choice to avoid leaking seams.

NTK Laredo GT Camping Tent

• Set up: 1-2 people and 15 minutes

More tents need to provide the extra storage you’ll find in this model with the gear loft. The utility pockets are a nice touch too. A sturdy model without being heavy.

You’ll be cool in the hotter months due to the excellent ventilation, but the double walls will insulate you in the winter. Larger tents usually aren’t 4-season, so this is a welcome and rare find.

CORE 9 Person Extended Dome Tent

• Material: H2O Rainblock treated Polyester 68D, fiberglass frame

• Best for: Families, pets, moderate weather, overall value, and heavy use

Extra storage means sleeping nine people is more realistic. Many mesh pockets are inside to hold valuables or flashlights. A center ring is ideal for a hanging lantern. A closeable E-port is also a nice extra. It has one window, door, and adjustable floor vent, but the all mesh top allows hot air to rise.

Durable material stands against light to moderate rain and wind. The H2O Rainblock and advanced beading technology repels water from the tent.
