I've been camping and backpacking for many years using Eureka and LLBean and other good-quality tents, but now I'm looking to purchase a cheap but good enough quality 4-person tent for use in taking our church youth group camping. Ideally, I want it to last a good while so we can take groups camping for years. But I don't want to spend a lot since it's for the youth group and - well, groups of kids and the propensity for destruction of expensive tents....
However, I have absolutely no idea how the less expensive tents (Coleman, Wenzel, Ozark Trail, Cabin Creek) perform. So I'm looking for advice on these kinds of tents - waterproofness, durability, etc. Which brands/models are better, which are particularly bad?
