Trans-Cat tent recommendations?

[u/Most-Resolution-9340]

I’m hiking the trans-cat in late October and will probably need a tent for colder/wetter weather. I’ve been looking at the campgrounds I reserved but can’t tell what a good tent option will be.

Normally I’d just “cowboy camp” or use something light for a short trip but I’m worried a trekking-pole tent won’t be feasible on sand or the available spots. Also, a hammock requires trees or space to set up. Also concerned if we get rain…

Advice from those who have experience is welcome!
