want to start camping and hitting the state parks. Something fun for the family. Looking for a 10 person tent. What would you guys recommend?

Bought a nice Coleman at Target that supposed to sleep 10. Probably doesn't though.

Pay the extra bucks and make sure it's waterproof.. LL Bean or Eureka are good quality.

I camp a ton - get an REI tent especially the Kingdom 8 if car camping. I would never buy anything larger - we use two tents when more than 6 are camping to make it more comfortable. I would get 2 Kingdom 8 tents for 12 people.

We use two tents a lot also. Two smaller tents are lighter and usually easier to set up.

Go to Cabelas and see what they have.

I like smaller tents in the winter they seem to hold heat in better, also they don't catch as much wind.

Kelty, Marmot, Big Agnes are all good brands

Eureka
All you need. I have an 8 man that it probably 15 years (hard years) old and still good to go. All the flaps and zippers are still solid and the walls & rain fly don't leak. It has a few hols in the floor, but I always use a ground tarp so it isn't a big deal. Very light and takes about 5 min to set up and break down.

Have heard they have lost a step the last few years.
Their bread and butter Timberline tent isn't near the quality of years past. Prolly sold out like so many companies.

Uh - that's a lot of folks in 1 tent - I recommend 2 to 3 tents for this set up 2x 6-person or 3x 4-person tents will give you the capacity you want.
You have a lot of kids, yo?
(I'm partial to Kelty as a brand - solid, solid stuff, but not inexpensive - quality rarely is.)
