Newbie here, Hello to you all and really hope you can help!
We are a family of 3 ( me the OH and our son who is 18 months old) We have just returned from 2 weeks camping in France and ripped our Aztec tent on the last day ,so need to replace it.
We would love a tent that has 2 or 3 bedrooms but not right next to each other ( baby son goes to bed early and we would love to be able to talk to each other without him waking up! )
We camp mostly in the uk ( love the lakes) but also in the south of France once a year - so new tent will have to be good in wind and rain as well and hot sun.
Also a sewn in ground sheet all round as i am fed up of doing a giant spider hunt each night before hubby will come to bed
Please could anyone give me a surgestion? have been looking at the tent database thingy on here but really need some help narrowing it down a little

Personal opinion here, but I wouldn't leave a little one in a bedroom pod on his own. After using tents with separate pods, I've come to the conclusion that one big sleeping pod that can sleep 6 of us is far nicer, and it opens up many tent possibilities.....nice canvas bell tents! You could easily put little one to bed in the inner tent and sit up talking in the rest of the tent, and then join little one at sleep time. Works a treat for us,
Have a look at the Cabanon Biscaya 370 (gallery), we use the "Quality Cotton" version as we mostly use the tent for Southern France, but it is also available in "All Season Polyester" which is a little like "PolyCotton" but stronger, and will be easiar to live with in UK climes, the 370 would be ideal for two Adults and a little one, although the bedrooms are side by side. it comes with ZiG so no bugs to bother you, Cabanon even do a "Rip-Stop Polyester" version with SiG not my cup of tea, but great if your looking for small pack size and weight.
.....or Norfolk Lake, cool in the sun and warm in the cold. You could have the little one in the back pod (unzip the middle) and sit in the front extension. When the little one gets bigger there is an additional inner that can be added away from the back pod.
