What style of tent you want may depend on how much backpacking you're going to do during your family camping vacation. If you plan to do some hiking to find your "ultimate" camping destination then you will want to keep things as light as possible so you might want to think about a simple tarp tent or maybe something like the Ozark Trail 9'x8' Dome Tent which is a great low-cost alternative that protects against the weather fairly well.
