The tents from pop up tent manufacturers can be broken up into 3 categories at their most basic: backpacking tents, camping tents, and mountaineering tents.
If you have to hike any appreciable distance to your campsite, you should get a backpacking tent. Backpacking tents are made to be light enough to carry long distances (they should ideally weigh around 2 lbs per person) and compact enough to easily fit inside a pack.
If you are driving straight to your campsite, or setting up a basecamp, get a camping tent. Camping tents throw caution to the wind when it comes to weight, often coming in around 4-6 pounds or more—with large-capacity family camping tents weighing up to 20 lbs. They are designed with an emphasis on livable space and comfort.
If you are going on a high altitude mountaineering expedition, or planning on camping during the winter, get a mountaineering tent. Mountaineering tents are often single-walled (more on that below), lightweight, and designed to withstand high winds and snow-loading.
The first step in buying a tent is deciding what activity you’re going to use it for the most, and moving on from there. Keep in mind that, while you can backpack with a mountaineering tent, and camp with a backpacking tent, you can’t really backpack with a camping tent, and you really shouldn’t try mountaineering or winter camping with a backpacking or a camping tent.
Once you pick out the type of tent you want, then you can start getting into the more granular details.
