The North Face Tadpole 23 Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Cozy, but Tough

Ranked #2771 - 3-Season Tents
December 9, 2005
I've managed to fit two adults (6' and 5'4") plus a 65lb lab, and it's definitely a tight fit. I would go bigger, but the weight can't be beat! I've been through several rain storms, hail storms, wind storms, and even snow with this tent! It does accumulate moisture on the colder nights, but then, it wasn't intended to be a winter tent. This is the first tent that hasn't blown over from strong Utah winds. Very sturdy design. It's also extremely quick and easy to set up, so no worries if you get to camp after dark. I would, however, recommend getting stronger stakes, as I have crushed a few already.
