Comments about REI Base Camp 6 Tent:

I have only used this once, but it worked great. The setup instructions are printed right on the bag, so there's no losing them, and the bag is big enough that you don't need to pack up the tent with a vacuum sealer to get it back in. We did have a little trouble setting it up the first time, partially because the color coded poles are difficult to tell apart in lantern-light, but all-in-all fairly simple to assemble. It sort of looks like an AT-AT with the rain fly on, which provides a nice-sized area to store shoes etc. It is tall enough for a 6' individual to stand up in, and 4 people with gear slept comfortably in it.
