No idea where to start really. 3 DCs currently aged 3 month, 3 and 5 all same sex. Have come to the conclusion that as a family of 5 trying to go on holidays during school breaks that the only way we can afford it every year is to camp. I don’t mind this really and I did a lot of camping in my teenage years and early twenties but DH is more of a novice and less outdoorsy (he grew up with more money and is used to spending two weeks in a Greek hotel every summer).
We want a tent that is big enough to last. I think I prefer poles to air tent as we want something relatively compact to store. We have quite a big garden so can dry it at home if needs be.
i want to be able to stand up in at least the main room/entrance and I’m nearly 6ft. DH is 6’2.
Beyond that I don’t know what I’m looking for really. Budget is £500 max. Please help!

@Luddite26 thanks, I did wonder if an air tent would be better but they’re so pricey and we are also going to have to transport it in the boot along with all the rest of our stuff so was worried about space… is there a big difference?
