Cheap family tent recommendation

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm after a reasonably priced but reasonable quality tent to sleep 4.

DH and I used to camp a fair bit and have a lovely posh 2 person tent but we need more space for the 2 DDs. DH wants a high end tent but we're skint but desperate to get away this summer.

Would like two sleep areas and a bit of living space. Are Vangos still good? Also any tips on budget suppliers?

lots of bargains here

Would recommend a 6 berth for 4 of you.

Thanks 'scurry'. Will have a look. Really looking forward to our first family camping trip this year.

my god! some of those tents are nine hundred quid!

Vangos still good yes!

What is your budget?
Do you want a sewn in groundsheet?
Windows?

Budget will be Argos, but look out at ebay as Spring is new tent time and lots of people upgrade.

I'd look out for a Montana 6 - but they might stretch your budget at £250 with lots of kit on ebay.try these

Vango Icarus 600 is what I've got, two sleeping areas and a large lounge area. It's really easy to put up as well, I can manage it on my own (after a bit of practise...!). Ive been really pleased with it so far.

Thanks for your replies. I like the look of the Vango Tigris. I already have all the camping kit from pre baby days and it's really just a tent we need.

Just wondering whether to go for it now or wait until March when local camping place have their display up so we can see some tents in the flesh.
