I car camp a fair amount, and have for many years. +30 days a year usually.

I pretty much just use REI tents. They are good blend of quality vs price, which = good value. They are mid priced, but pretty decent quality. Especially for car camping needs.

I have 4 of their tents for various situations and capacities.

You're welcome.

After destroying a few tents from walmart, costco sams, etc. in a year or two I decided to move onto more serious tents:

Not cheap but they will last forever:

Someone was selling the Evanston 6 on craigslist for $95, I offered $75 and picked it up last night. I guess they found one of the rainfly clips was stitched on backwards (no major issue). She said they called for a replacement rainfly and instead got a whole free tent. Makes me wonder if I could have gotten it for less. Was only used once.

Needless to say the thing is HUGE! A lot more work to put up than my instant dome but that is ok.

Maybe next tent will be a better quality one but this will hopefully work for car camping.

Tepui ;)

I like that answer.

It was a wedding present, so I didn’t pay for it, but damn if camping isn’t even more amazing now!
