These are made in England, and they are not cheap but you know, there is something called economies of scale......if manufacturers thought more people would buy one, the costs might go down.
At least if you had a tent like these, you might not have such a hard time finding your campsite! Found them at the NY Times here.

The bottom tent would be nice for pitching in a backyard under a tree some summer day and reading all afternoon (presupposes: existence of backyard, awesome tree, the luxury of a totally free summer afternoon).
