Hi,
That time of year again when i've decided to upgrade my tent. I have 2 children (4 and 6) and sometimes my wife comes along and require a tent with a large living area. i currently have a Vango 6 berth and would like 3 bedrooms. Can somebody recommend a decent tent with a sewning in groundsheet. Looking to pay about £300.

Campus Brekenridge Deluxe - 3 seperate bedroom pods each of which you can stand up in (unlike the Diable 900). Has sewn in groundsheets, skylight in living area and a HUGE porch that could hold all your kitchen stuff. Best tent we've ever owned. Check out my gallery pics to see it.

Hi this might seem like a very stupid question but why would you need a 9 berth tent for 2 adults & 2 small children?

We are 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children ), We went for the Monty 12.  We use the extra bedroom for storage and a small 2 berth pod as a toilet ( with a chemical toilet in there of course ).  I can thoroughly recommend it.  To be honest, although there are only 4 of us, I wouldn't have gone for anything smaller.

You take enough camping gear to fill a 9 berth tent?!

If you have 2 small children, you need the extra space in case the weather's lousy!

you know having more berths dont mean more living space,
we had some large tents and they all been 6 berth but the living space was alot more than a 9 berth.
our gelert sat6 has tons of living space and storage in the side pods we only used 2 of them gave us even more room, our monty 6 has a very nice living space, and there is only 4 of us and using a cot too.
