Any campers about? Which tent is easy to put up alone?

[ambercat]

I need to by a new tent!

I'm newly single and i am determined to take the kids camping this summer. There will be me and 3 dcs, the 8 year old will help me pitch it (i hope!).

So what should i get? not too big and not too expensive!, also, Where is the best place to get one?

H used to sort all this sort of stuff out but i can't ask him now so please help

outwell ones are really good,even on the domes and hybrids, the tent has clips to fasten to the poles rather than having to thread poles through long channels - poles go in a 3 foot tunnel, then you just hook the rest, plus they have a sewn in groundsheet so no worries about getting that flat
