Well you do now! I also love luxury hotels, but camping is great fun, especially for kids.
It makes sense not to spend a lot on something you might not like, but equally, if you go too cheap and you tent blows away in the night, you are almost guaranteed not to enjoy it. Could you borrow one? Or get an end of line bargain? We found the tent reviews on here really useful when buying ours. I think 2 berths above the number of people sleeping in a tent gives you enough space to be comfortable, so for you thats 6 berth (I'm counting the dog as people).
Whatever you go for, don't forget to take a sense of humour.

I would suggest first spending a few nights in a place where your ent a full furnished tent. That way it'll give you an idea of what you need to buy and if you find that you don't like camping then you will have saved yourselves a decent amount of money, time and effort. Good luck with it all.
