This was my primary car camping tent last season (12 trips) and I have to disagree and say it is surprisingly well-made.

I got this the last time it was on Slickdeals for $79. It's an absolute steal at that price:

Likes:

Dark Rest actually works, not a gimmick. Nice if you want to sleep in past sunrise.
Very easy to put up and take down as 1 person.
2 people + 3 dogs + two 17gal HDX totes for gear fit comfortably.
Good storage options inside the tent for electronics/accessories.
Tall enough I can almost stand straight up in at 5'10".


Dislikes:

The tent poles that allow it to be "instant" are large diameter and do not come apart from the tent body, meaning the tent does not pack down. You will struggle to transport this tent in a sedan.
Partial rain-fly.
No vestibules.

Misc:

I bought two of the 9x12 medium duty Ozark Trail tarp one to use as a ground mat for this and it has worked well with a bit of excess that I use as a welcome mat at the front of the tent. The other is to use for cover should a heavy downpour occur and it's been fine.


I've since purchased The North Face Wawona 6 which I also got on Slickdeals when it was $230. Honestly at nearly 3x the price it's not 3x the tent of the Ozark Trail. It has a better rain fly and a large vestibule as a luxury, but it's very difficult to put up or take down alone. It's also much larger inside and I've noticed that leads to colder nights.

This is a wonderful option for car camping that covers most people's needs. If you need more than this you know who you are and aren't going to be shopping in this class of tent.
I have this and this comfortably fits two

I'm looking to move from a 4 to a 6. 4 and 2 dogs was ok. But I feel like a tiny bit more space would be better. Thoughts? Both dogs are around 50 pounds.

edit: sorry there are just 2 of us with 2 dogs.

That's what I have been looking for. Costco has the lighted one for $99. But it's not instant

At some point in time the instant went for 99 but that was a while back I'll definitely bite on the instant 6 core if it gets down to 135 quick note it's just for me and my lady with a queen inflatable mattress right now we have the ozark 4 person and it barely fits 2 persons

I think I have this tent but it was Sams Club Member's Mark. It goes up super fast and, once a person figures out the takedown, packs up quickly too.

It is friggin' dark as night inside on a bright sunny day with the blackouts zipped. So much so that the wifey thinks it's creepy and kids and I slept in until 11am the first time. We learned you have to open up the top a little for ventilation so eventually the sun will wake us.

One complaint is that I'm not sure I can get spare parts if a rod breaks, unlike a fiberglass rod construction.

Any input on whether this would be a good size for a family of 4? Sleeping on pads, not on air mattresses

I bought this last year and used it twice. It's comfy for 3 adults when you consider you might be spending time in the tent when raining. But for sleeping you could comfortably sleep 4. My only complaint was air flow. I used it tent camping on the Outer Banks and would have liked a bit more air flow. It seemed to me that the dark material absorbed more heat.
