User Reviews of the Dakota 8

I agree! A fantastic tent. Easy to put up, the steel poles make it sturdy, yet it remains a light an airy tent. We went for this one because we knew we'd be camping in an English summer, so wanted space to cook, eat, relax and have our kids toys out all at the same time. During a typical Cornish storm on a clifftop we were warm, dry and were not falling all over each other! Perfect!

WOW ,what can I say this is a fantastic tent. I bought this for ฃ499 online and spent my first weekend away in it with the wife and kids next to no time to put it up (thanks to the online video on outwells site ) My only gripe is that the main leg poles can be put in in different angles so you might find you get it wrong on one or two (like me )

A fantastic amount of space inside (we had 15 guests at one point ). Light and airy and a fantastic design and comfort level . All the bedrooms are fully erected inside the tent so when you pitch it once its up and all the bedrooms are ready to sleep in .I would highly recommend outwells newest premium range tent but also recommend buying a footprint for it too ( around ฃ40 )as this saves your tent base from being muddy when you de-camp and is washable in the washing machine

This fantastic new invention turns a can of drink into a sealed bottle, protecting drinks from being spilt, keeping out creepy crawlies, and keeping fizz in. They are a must for any camper or caravanner.

Manufacturer's Description

The manufacturer has advised that this model has been discontinued.

Clearly focused on spacious comfort for camping families, the roomy interior of the Dakota has been
enhanced by the NEW arrangement of the bedroom cabins and the Outwell Space Frame System. Other
key features in the NEW Dakota 8 include the large porch, uniquely placed panel windows with roll-down
curtains, and the two skylights. Refreshing screen-house ventilation has been ensured by full-size
mesh in the doors and ventilation in the rear wall of each inner tent.
The side door can also double as a sunshade by using upright poles. Outwell designers have added the finishing touch to the NEW Dakota with refined details such as organiser pockets, and low-light
windows. Definitely another winner, this version of the Dacota is sure to be popular with campers who like a generous amount of roomy comfort.
