Can anyone suggest a family tent which is quick and easy to erect and has a sewn in groundsheet?  Looking for something which is big enough to stand up in but quick to erect as would be used mainly just for long weekends.

I would say an Outwell Montana 12, takes me just over 30 mins with 2 of us.  But then I am biased because I have one.  They are a bit pricey though.

Another biased suggestion,  sunncamp vario 600 or 600 plus.We love ours!. We are complete novices and it was easy to erect and we even got it back in the bag on the 1st attempt!!

We have a Sunncamp Evolution 400 with the small windows in the front and a SIG. We loved it and have been away over the easter. Our other tent was a Vango Colorado 600 and that did not have a SIG so that's why we got out new tent

Outwell Sun Valley 8 or 6 would be worth a look. Lighter than the Montanas.

Sunncamp Evolution 600? MT
Went out looking at tents this afternoon - saw a Suncamp Evolution 400 which I really liked (lots of light and SIG) but I'm not sure if the living space might be just a bit too small.  Suncamp Evolution 600 might be more like it.  Just wondering - how long roughly do these tents take to put up and would the 600 take any longer to erect than a 400?  As you can tell - I'm very new to all this!
