The 10 Best 3 Person Tents

The Sportneer Camping Instant Pop-Up (around $66) is one of the easiest models on the market to set up and break down, so if you're averse to complicated construction projects, it might be the best option for you. It is just a bit tight for more than two people, however.

The polyurethane-coated fly and flooring that come with the Marmot Tungsten (around $254) do an excellent job of keeping you dry, whether the water is falling from the sky or seeping up through the ground. A smartly conceived lampshade pocket distributes light from any head lamp.

The poles used to construct the North Face Kings Canyon (appx. $355) are color coded to match with the corners in which each end is meant to be placed, making it incredibly easy to set up, as long as you have enough light to see what you're doing.

Coming to you from one of the most trusted names in low-cost outdoors gear, the Coleman Sundome (around $64) lives up to the company's reputation. It isn't the most comprehensive solution for extreme environments, but for the occasional camper, it's a smart choice.

While it isn't the tallest option out there, the Quechua Waterproof Pop Up XL (around $365) provides sleepers with a generous amount of space, so you don't have to rub shoulders all night with your fellow campers. It pitches with incredible speed, too.

The Mons Peak IX Trail 43 (about $700) is a convertible option that is capable of housing up to four campers and of packing down even smaller for your trips if you know you won't need that extra space. It comes with 12 aluminum Y stakes to ground it in place.

If you're looking for something significantly lightweight that won't become a burden in your pack, you'll be impressed to learn that the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL TCS28 (about $450) boasts a trail weight of just two pounds and 13 ounces.

Made from incredibly tough, high-denier nylon components, the Eddie Bauer Katabatic First Ascent (about $696) is about as durable as you could want it to be, and its steep-walled design makes it feel extra roomy when you're relaxing in it.

The Winterial Lightweight (appx. $100) is a great choice for anyone camping in areas that get a lot of precipitation, as its vented rainfly roof allows your shelter to breathe while also very effectively preventing any water from getting inside.

The Crua Tri Luxury Winter (about $799) is a four-season selection with a covered entryway in which users can comfortably remove their shoes or sit outside even in the rain. Its specialized insulation is as effective at keeping you warm in winter as it is keeping you cool in summer.
