We bought a Outwell oklahoma to use as a cooking, eating, relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening tent.

I decided we had to do it after the loss of 2 expensive gazebos!! The cheap £9.99 stood up very well though.

the outwell is sturdy, had sides ( mesh or closed), windows with curtains and did the job perfectly. I also don't have to worry about it blowing away and wrecking someone else's tent. 

We boughht a 'Royal Standard dayroom' as our 'Day Tent'. We cook, eat and spend our evenings in it.

It is easy to put up has three windows with mesh and 3 doors. And it has withstood some really strong winds.

We paid about £79 for it 2 years ago.

The large Royal dayroom is available from Norwich camping and leisure for £99. Jackson camping also seem to have them.

I personally do not like gazebo's, they are fine for use in the garden during the summer but they are not designed for campsite use particularly when the weather can be so indifferent. A day tent is far more substantial with extra guys to cope with our great British climate.

We have just taken delivery of a Royal Summerhouse, 5m accross the centre.  It's big but really handy at home in the garden and when we go camping.  I paid £79 last week on ebay from Tamworth camping.  Cheapest I could find on net was £119.
