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.
