Here she is...our beautiful new Kampa Croyde 6 with Vestibule:









We LOVE her already!!!

We had hoped to pitch her on Friday and camp over the weekend (this is in my Mum's garden by the way) but life got in the way so we pitched her yesterday after lunch and just camped for one night last night. Went up fairly easily, once we had figured out where the actual pegging points were on the corners. Start to finish including guying out and attaching the vestibule etc was around an hour which we're pretty pleased with for a first attempt.

Hope all of you lovely lot had a Happy Easter and I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of those of you who were lucky enough to get away.

Am sure you will have many happy trips in her; the vestibule is really handy in the great British climate we were so glad we added it to ours last 'summer'!

I'm no expert, but to these untrained eyes, that looks a very, very handsome tent! :-)

I can see why you're pleased, Tracey.

Thanks again all! I love being able to share my excitement on here and you guys actually "get it". I put the piccies on FB but the only thing I got was sarcastic "That's not a tent, it's a marquee", "God, it's massive" type comments!

Oh yes, she's a lovely tent Tracey.    Not that I'm biased at all    Hope you have lots of fun with her.

Out of interest, how do you find the front canopy stays up with the added vestibule? We're thinking of purchasing one to save the hassle of moving our kitchen equipment indoors every time the weather turns, but we've read mixed reviews and are still undecided.

Loving this year 's colour.

We loved our Lulworth (the precursor ), but living area was just too big for 2 plus Poppy Dog, we spent all our time under the canopy/in vestibule.

Hope the family we sold it to love it!

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.
