Hi
If it helps, here's what I've learnt so far:
(Assuming you also plan to cook in/around your tent
-- If you're going for 5 or more nights , then go for a Full height tent
If you're going Solo, putting up 'some' full height tents on your own can be difficult; so you would need to practise or get most of the tent assembled and ask another camper to help
If you have another helper - then most full height tents are easy enough to pitch
-- I went for a 10 year old Robens 300 (from Ebay), but was also looking at some of the Decathlon 3-4 person tents (used from ebay) and Vango Galaxy 300,
-- 2-4 nights
Solo - then something like the OEX Coyote III
Not full height; but you can sit in a Helionox chair inside -
Easy to pitch solo - and do so quickly
Plenty of porch space to store gear/food etc
Very comfy for 1 - but enough sleeping space for 2
--1-2 Nights
Nature Hike Star River 2 person tent
Perfect for 2 to sleep
Easy to clean when you get home ; easy to pack up etc
You can then pick the days that you know will be good weather - get away quickly, and Pitch up in 5-10 minutes
