Hi, I am looking for recommendations for a weekend tent for 2 adults, 2 children. We only camp for a couple of nights at a time so do not need a big tent.

We have always had sewn in groundsheets, but linked in groundsheets seem to be very popular at the moment.

Does anyone have the Vango Skye 500? I can't seem to find any reviews for this tent.

Any recommendations would be greatly received.

Many thanks

My daughter, son-in-law and family (two boys 5 & 7) have a Vango Tigris 400. They could manage in that but added a canopy, providing play space in bad weather, and they find that ample. A tarp might be a cheaper alternative for short trips.
