I am returning to camping after many years and find the choice of tents bewildering and a lot has changed
Im looking tor a tent i can stand up in
I must be able to erect it myself as I am camping alone
Must have a fully sewn in ground sheet
Also enough space in front of bedroom area to sit in a chair and a small table

I have used this site to see whats what and see a lot things have changed so looking at ,,,, Aztec Outwell Quechua Sunncamp hiGear Khyam Coleman Easy Camp Vango
I know its a huge choice and my budget is low and im going woopy looking so any help would be helpful

There are some suggestions in this thread.

I';d have thought the Vango Kalu would suit.

You don't say what sort of camping or materials you prefer? Assuming you are not backpacking from your criteria😁.....if you like polycotton or canvas tent, have you considered a bell tent?
It would fit with your given criteria..... and I love 'em ☺
