I’ve looked at tents that are small and portable (basically just enough room to crawl in with a sleeping bag) and others which are large enough to stand up inside. I really love the luxury factor of the larger tents but wondering if it’s worth the extra hassle of setup and transporting.
What sort of tents do you guys have and/or might recommend?
On a typical trip, or at the SPSP, would you spend much time in the tent? What about during the day? Or if it’s raining? Is space constrained?

Hi Mars,
For my first trip to SPSP I considered the same things.
Ease to set up.
Big enough to spend time in if needed (and it was, very)
comfortable WARM dry.
In the end I bought a "camper trailer". (You know, with a tent on top of a box trailer).
I got the smallest one they had (two person) and boy was it a good investment,
For under $3,000 brand new drive away I got a queen size bed, up off the ground, very comfortable and warm.
A full size (zip on off) annex (no walls just roof).
AND a brand new box trailer that can be packed with all camping essentials with heaps of room.
Seconds to set up ready to sleep in (add 15 minutes if annex to be set up too).
Mate, it is definitely the way to go. (Bigger sizes and off road available for extra bucks, but the small was was plenty big enough for me)
As you know I upgraded to a camper
van now -> this was mainly to get on board shower toilet and fridge etc. I still loved the tent on a trailer.
