Hi, I'm Angela and we're going camping! Thought this would be simple however the purchase of a tent is a minefield, I have hubby and 4 kids age 5 and under, british summer weather, own cooking equipment and trailer and about £200 to spend on a tent, pref second hand off ebay. Could you recommend 1 please, this is our first ever time so roomy but easy to erect would be good. (don't want much do I !). Thanks in advance. We will be staying close to home in North Yorkshire and want to go a few times during the holidays.

Hi Angela,and welcome to UKCS,

You are getting a lot of tent for your money there,much better than taking a chance on Ebay.

Had a look at this the other week & was impressed, its made by Gelert for Go Outdoors under the Hi Gear name.
The built on porch is an excellent touch especially with the British summer.
