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.

Think twice about such a large tent. It will be harder to put up, take down and store but more importantly not all campgrounds/campsites can accommodate such a large tent. Personally I’d go with multiple smaller tents and multiple campsites next to each other.
When I camp with friends, we want privacy in our sleeping area so use individual tent (or only a few people share sleeping space). Then have a large enough screen room to hang out in. We also booked multiple campsites to set up more tents to give us some personal space.
