[chocolatespiders]

after seeing the holiday prices this year I have decided to give camping a bash, but dont know where to begin in looking for a tent for me and my 2 daughters

thankyou

We bought outs from Argo. It wasn't a lot more than 100 I think about three years ago. Can I be remembering that right?

Anyway it was a good tent. You could check the website.

++++ keyboard. ARGOS

great thanks i hadnt thought about argos

We have just downsized & bought this Khyam which is one of the only 4 man tents that takes 2 double air beds & you can stand up in. The reviews on UK campsite are amazing too.

We've got a Vango Pennine 500. It seems to get truly awful reviews but I think it's pretty good, v spacious and tall which is important for us (dh is 6'4"). I do wish it had some kind of vertical pocket storage though, which a lot of tents do now. The reviews all mention a mistake in the instructions, which is true, and that the poles are a bit fragile - we have had a couple of minor pole breakages but very fixable. It was a really good price too.

I think the only way to go is to go to an outdoors shop and to see the tents 'up'.

get a 6 person one - always bigger than you think

6 of us freak in our 6 person one

We have just spent our first night camping in our new Quechua 4.2 four person, pop-up tent www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/1/Quechua-Base-Seconds-4.2/972
It was fantastic, so quick and easy to set-up.
The reviews are all excellent too - not just for speed of erection but also for quality and performance in wet/windy weather.

We also have a Quechua Base Seconds 4.2. We got it from Decathlon for £149.99. It is by far the easiest tent to put up, ever! You can also add onto it if you want more space. It has a full height living area and two bedroom pods, plenty of space for a family of four. There is a nice video on the Quechua website of a family using the tent. if you have a Decathlon near you, go and check it out, the staff at the one near us are very helpful.

I would agree with those who say check out a larger tent than your family size - we have a mahoosive Bear Lake 6 for our family of 3! It's an Outwell tent and they have a fab range to look at.

gret thanks some good ideas and websites i would not have found
