tents for camping at kmart image

I wants a tent that will take 5 to 10 minutes to set up and I don't know what one to get because there is different kinds.
Answer
I got a cheap $30 one from Kmart that I love. It's a 3 man backpacking tent. I've gotten to the point where I can set it up by myself in about 3 minutes.

It actually fits 2 comfortably with gear. I take it on all of my boyscout outings, and even a week long camp where I experienced 70 mph winds and drenching rain, with only minimal leakage, as it was raining sideways.
This tent only has 2 poles (3 including the rain fly) and 6 tent stakes, so it's an easy and simple setup

Answer
All very good advice above. I will give my two-cents worth. I have two, four-man (9'x7') Ozark Trail tents from Wal-Mart. For a family camping trip, these work great, they are easy to set up, pretty good bang for the buck and over-all have been pretty good tents that have lasted several years and are still holding up. Would I climb Everest or go on an extended backpacking or climbing trip with them, absolutely NOT! I have a quality, one-man backpacking tent for my more serious backpacking trips that I bought from REI. As somebody else said, a tent for the kids and a tent for you guys is the way to go, it's what I do. Two smaller tents are cheaper than one large tent and two small tents are easier to set up than one large tent. I tend to be very organized when I camp. My wife and kids scatter their "crap" all over the tent. Having two tents helps this a lot. The other plus to this is if something happens to one of the tents, it gets a tear, catches on fire, whatever, you have a back-up. Everybody has opinions based upon personal experience, and this is my personal experience. I hope your family develops a love of camping and the outdoors, it's a fantastic family experience.
