The wife and I have been thinking about getting a new tent to take the girls camping in. My oldest daughter, who is now 7, has never been camping. I think it is about time, as some of my best memories as a kid were when I was camping with my parents.

Any recommendations on a good, large, family tent? Weight isn't really a concern, as we will not be hiking to the camp site.

ALthough they cost more, and are heavy, a good canvas tent is the best there is: hands down. Check out Kodiak Canvas, if taken care of it will be the last tent you buy.

Did you find your tent yet? I still have two free-standing canvas monsters available. These are tents you walk into like a human, not crawl into like a woodchuck:

Also have a Winchester "floorless" tent. It actually has a peaked roof. We use it as a screen house on the tent platform I built:

Too heavy to ship easily. I you come north you can have them all for the price of that Kodiak you were looking at.
