How to find a good tent for camping?

I want a tent to take camping. I'd like to go to the beach, mountains, state parks, etc. One thing I worry about is rain. I've heard you can't get a true waterproof tent for a reasonable price, only water resistant. I don't want to spend $300 on a tent that I may not use that much. I just need enough room for a full size air mattress and to change clothes. Any suggestions? Oh, and it has to be one I can set up by myself.

Answer
Given your stated requirements a small dome or modified dome makes the most sense.

BTW, you don't want a waterproof tent. If you had one, moisture inside (from your body) condenses on the inside, and you wind up having an internal rainstorm.

Water repellency is ok. Ideal you want a tent that breathes. Over it, but not touching it, goes a waterproof fly.

There are a lot of factors that go into choosing the best tent for your needs. You'll find some of them discussed here:

My friends and i wanna go camping for the end of the school year. Were all teenagers and know nothing about camping!
we want to go "tent camping" with a lake on a mountain. WE dont know where is the best place so our parents would know it' a safe place. thanks very much for your help.
Btw, the less we have to travel the better becuz of high gas prices.

Answer
Green Valley Lake near Lake Arrowhead. Nice little campground at the end of the road and not far from the lake. Also you are right on the edge of town.
