I keep my tents. But I camp about 15 times a year, and have 3 different tents depending on the type of camping; Festival/group camping, backpacking, solo road tripping, cold weather, etc. My oldest tent is 4 years, the most expensive one is about $200.
I also have a house with a yard/garage/basement, so storage and cleaning isn't a hassle. So I understand not wanting to deal with the tent "maintenance" if you only camp once a year. If I were willing to throw away $60 each time I camped, I wouldn't be saving any money and may as well just get a motel.
A side note: I don't think ticks like me, as I haven't seen one in 25 years, and I camp almost every other weekend between spring and autumn. Everyone else seems to freak out about them.
