It is not an instant tent, although if you want that, look below to see it’s brother (6 person instant cabin tent). The Marmot Tungsten 4 is our second favorite tent for two people. Though a bit less streamlined than the Mineral King 3, the Tungsten 4 shares many of its best features. It’s a sturdy dome-style tent with two large doors and an intuitive setup. It provides a pleasant, well-ventilated interior living space, a mesh canopy for stargazing in fair weather, and a well-designed fly for protection against the elements. You can’t roll up the fly partway, as you can with the Mineral King’s, but it is UV-resistant.

The Ozark Trail ten-person tent feels very roomy, with six different windows and a completely open mesh top for you to get breeze and stargaze at night. Luckily, there is a rain fly that covers everything and even gives you a bit of an overhang on the main entrance, providing some protection from sunlight. The setup is also relatively easy, and while not exactly being a free-standing tent, a couple of people could do quick work with getting up in about minutes.

This dome tent is the perfect “flex” option for camping in a family or a romantic weekend trip away, with space enough to fit three sleeping bags side by side or a single queen mattress (also sold by Ozark Trail). Though it only has 42 inches of peak height, it’s spacious enough inside that you can sit and lounge comfortably. In terms of drawbacks, this is a particularly budget-friendly model from an already budget-focused brand, so you’ll need to be mindful of a few shortcomings to get the most out of this shelter.

This tent features seven windows and ground vents as well as a large door and two internal room dividers. It’s quick and easy to assemble as the poles come pre-attached to the tent. It also comes in a convenient carry bag that allows for easy storage and transportation to any destination. If you want a tent that can be used throughout the year, this is an excellent choice.
