Go to an outward bound shop and ask for advice depending on where when you want to go.

Got mine at Walmart. Sleeps two or three and was under $50. Fairly easy to set up.

Coleman are very nice tents. That is what we use.

This is great time to buy. Coleman is great. I like Target's display of tents, you can see what you are buying

Depends on what you will be using it for. if you want a four season tent, it will be fairly expensive. I have four that three season tents can be perfectly good tents. Coleman and Eureka are two good brands. EMS is a good store to buy from. One last piece of advice, learned from many nights camping. to find the actuall number of people that a tent sleeps, subtract one from the number claimed from the manufacturer. ie, a four person tent can sleep three comfortably with gear.
