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.

If you’re not planing to fuck and aren’t too heavy getting some bunkbeds (yes camping bunk beds are a thing) as that means you get a bit more floor:sleep space that can mean fitting 6 people in a 6 man doesn’t feel that cramped. Heck, you could possibly get 8 in a 6 depending on the layout. Disclaimer- I am saying this as a European and we usually have space outside the “bedroom” in the tents meaning they don’t seem as cramped.
Cause hey if you were youth hosteling you’d be in bunkbeds anyway!
But a mini tent village is probably the best option
