Hi we have a Sunncamp Pathfinder which we have loved dearly but are now starting to find it a squeeze in the bedroom for ourselves and 2 children. We love camping but hubby really hates putting up and taking down the tent and wants us to quit :( As we can't afford much of another type of holiday I don't want to :( Our children are still young (6 and 3) but will need room to grow. We don't want a huge tent but one with good standing height, quick to put up, space inside to play and store stuff and affordable (cheap).
Any ideas/advice/suggestions to make our camping trips more enjoyable will be gratefully received :)))) Ta muchly in advance x
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
Outwell Virginia 5. This is the second time tonight I've recommended this tent. It's a brilliant size for four adults, so your children could grow into it. Height is great - my daughter and son-in-law have just invested in one, and he is 6ft. 4!
Lovely Outwell quality, lots of windows and two doors, and best of all, very easy to put up as the canvas clips to the side poles as you erect it. Read the reviews, this really is a great tent for the money!
If money is tight, you could get a second-hand six berth frame tent for a bargain price at the moment. They are quick & easy to erect, over six foot head height, lot's of windows, no condensation problem, warmer on cool nights & cooler in hot weather, stand up to stormy weather brilliantly, and can last up to 30 years if you look after them.
I second the canvas frames,we bought our 6 berth for £40 and bought some new springs for her as a few of the poles had seperated,can now be pitched in less than 15 mins,or can recommend outwell utah 6..don't come up very often on ebay as they are discontinued,but fab for families,you can use the two bedrooms as one large since your children are young, or Outwell montreal(argos) going for around £100 at the moment,sewn in groundsheet.,vango icarus 500,have no experience of this one,but is very popular with families..could go on and on,but I think these are my recommendations.
