What family tents are good now-a-days?

I am planning on setting up a family trip for me, my 19 month old son, my fiance and her 5 year old son. So needless to say i need something comfortable and roomy. I would like a multi-room, something with great weather/bug resistance, ie.. rain, bugs. I used to go camping all of the time when I was younger but we're talking 20 plus years ago, in a camper. I could also use any info on comfy sleeping bags, and cooking accessories... thanks

Eureka is by far the best maker of large family tents.

Need help finding a family tent.?

bls1177

My family and I are going to the Smokey Mountain National park at the end of August and need a new tent. We have been looking around at tents and need some advice. We are and plan in the future to do car camping so weight is not the biggest concern but do not want a giant that it takes two to carry. We have been looking at the REI Base camp 6 and it seems great but it is expensive at $400 + footprint = $450. But if that is a great tent and a value when all things are considered then so be it. If any one has any thoughts I would love to hear them. I have been camping many times but this is my wife and 3 year old daughters second time. I think I want a 3 season with medal poles for strength and a vestibule for cooking if the weather is bad. Thanks for the help in advance

You might look at some Eureka tents. In my opinion they have the best quality for the money and they also have the largest selection.

Their Canadian website has some nice tents that aren't listed on their American site.
Once you find a make and model you like Bizrate is a good place to shop for the best price.

I picked up a $630 Eureka Tunnel Vision for $325 using Bizrate and that included free shipping and no taxes.
