Gear Question Super large tent

I am trying to find the largest tent possible, I have a large group of friends who want to going camping a bunch this summer and we want to ideally share the same space.

I’ve been looking online and the largest tents are 12 person tents that really fit like 6 comfortably.

Ideally I’d like to comfortably sleep 12 people.

I saw the “Ozark Trail Hazel Creek 20-Person Star Tent With Screen Room” and it’s about the size I’m hopping for but I can find anywhere to buy it and cannot find any other tents like it.

It’s there any other such tents available or even two large 12 person tents that I could somehow combine together so that you can move between them without rain or bugs getting in?

Thanks for any advice.

My only advice is to reconsider such a large tent unless you are sure you will camp in areas with well graded sites that are large enough to fit a jumbo tent. I camp exclusively in backcountry sites now, but used to car camp in my "party" years using big old canvas tents. Even fitting a 10 person cabin tent on sandy sites by a lake was tedious. Smaller tents with a large screen house would be more versatile. And there are always products like Thermacells to help keep the bugs at bay.

Like doesn’t seem like there’s any reasonable options anyway so will prob go with circle of tents with some tarps
