if you're going backpacking, you'll need a light tent.
if you're going camping often, more than 5x year, then you'll want a higher-quality tent.
sounds like you're just doing a little car-camping, 2-3x a year, in which case you can go get a decent kelty tent at target or something for like $50 - you won't want to carry it on your back anywhere, but they're decent tents and will work fine.
as far as getting laughed at, most of the people who shop at rei spend $400 on tents so they can laugh at people the one time a year they use it.
