I need to get a new tent to take to the Kate Wolf Festival. I'm intrigued by these new Instant Up tents. https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000007830-4-Person-Instant-Tent/dp/B004E4AVY8/ref=sr_1_56?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1307895522&sr=1-56

Anyone tried one? Any other tent recommendations in the low end price range? I've looked at the Coleman sundome, but don't like that you can't close the windows: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Person-Dome-Tent-9-27x7-27/dp/B002YXP6OQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Thanks for any input,
Marty

I haven't looked at the instant-up tents. For car camping I use an REI Hobitat 4---nice and roomy, aesthetic architecture...I have a 6 x 9 wool rug I put inside on the floor, and there's plenty of room for a futon and other amenities... So, that's my recommendation. Have a fun trip!
