We use this tent with our 5 girls and had plenty of use in all weather. Never had a problem. We put girls all together in big room. We have small room then use other small room for storage. Plenty of room and head height in living area fit in kitchen, table and 7 camp chairs and still space to move. Very easy to erect for large tent {we can do it in 15 mins} fits on all pitches we have come across. Just as easy to take down [fits in bag every time] Great value for money family tent would def have another one if anything happened to ours. We have found [drunken hubby bent pole] that cheap gazebo poles make perfect replacement for damaged poles as same size.

I brought one of these tents in the argos sale for Ł127.99 and I was surprised that it was delivered from them so quickly, one thing was you cant pick it up from in store. Anyway I have set mine up in the garden to make myself familiar with the tent as recommended, I was surprised at the size of the thing, it just fitted in the garden length ways, I have a big garden.

I am going camping in June for 2 weeks and I think that this tent is ideal for at least 4 people with loads of things. One thing I would change is the ground sheet, I feel that it could do with having 2 of them the same size, the main one fits nicely, but the second one is half the size which means you have to have at least one of the two double rooms in. That's the only problem I have had, the steel poles is great for support and you feel as though you have a good bargain with these as it gives a sense of stability.

I put this tent up myself and I found it not too bad, but I feel that 2 people could do it better for proper tension. I do have the stronger plastic pegs as I think the metal pegs would not have supported the tent to well, so if you are going to but this tent then I would recommend that you buy the heavy duty pegs, even if you use them for the main tent and the metal pegs for the guy ropes. On the whole another good bargain from argos

Chose this tent because of the price and large size. We have used it for 3 seasons of camping. It has survived all types of weather, including a week of torrential rain and mudlakes under the tent!, hosed down the groundsheet when I got home and it was fine. Tent just seems to be stretching a little bit now and water is starting to pool at the top but it has been well used.

No problems putting it up, even with one adult and two children (which did interest a few spectators!). It is also the only tent I have managed to fit back into correct bag. However it is heavy to lift into the car.

Very spacious inside, has accommodated an adult over 6' fairly comfortably. My children liked the fact that it had two separate smaller bedrooms rather than a dividing curtain. Plenty of room to eat/sit inside if the weather is bad.

I have found it a really good tent for an excellent price

Bought this because I liked the size and the price. Very simple to put up but recommend by two people.

Extremely spacious. Kept us nice and dry and warm in the evenings when it cooled down a little. I would recommend it to anybody.

There are only the two of us but we use the large pod as our bedroom, one of the smaller pods as the toilet tent and the other pod we leave in the bag and use the area for storage and kitchen area instead. We used a small tent for years and we really enjoy the extreme luxury of such a big tent.

Can't wait till the next time we use it.

I've had this tent for 3 years now and have got very adept at putting it up, its very easy but can't do it alone purely because of its size. I like the fact that you can walk upright from end to end. Also if you leave out one of the smaller 'bedrooms' it gives you extra space for storing and cooking, a ground sheet is provided for this purpose. You can open up either side to allow air flow on hotter days, and both sides have large windows for light. It is very well designed throughout with little extras like a strip of pockets built within the larger bedroom pod for bits and pieces you dont want to lose. I like this tent so much I would replace it with a similar one when my present one expires, which it shows no sign of doing yet. We have endured hurricane strength winds and pelting rain in this tent and it performed admirably. The living area is large enough for 7 camping chairs and a table for playing cards on which is how we spend most evenings whilst camping. This is the 3rd tent I've used and it is by far the best. Highly recommended.

I love the straight forward design of this tent. No domes or sloping ceilings! Thus it is uncomplicated and easy to live with. Erection is easy, although it really needs two to cope properly and get it up even. I've used it now for two years and it has held up well against various weather conditions.

Space is absolutely luxurious even though it has a smaller footprint than comparable tents! Even when using camp beds/inflatable mattresses there's still plenty of floor space in the births. The living area is large enough for communal socialising into the late hours, especially if inclement weather closes in and the hatches need battening down. No sense of claustophobia!

Good ventilation keeps it very comfortable on hot days. Each side of the tent has two doors, all of which may be opened at once for a truly alfresco feel, or in various combinations depending on comfort and privacy needs. Pull up the flaps and two of them become windows to let light in and keep any weather out.

Head height is generous throughout - you could jump up and down if you felt the need.

The hanging divider as provided for dividing up the large compartment only provides a sort of token separation and is probably best forgotten about: it certainly won't offer any sort of privacy.

Altogether, this is a brilliant tent for the large family/group and shouldn't disappoint.

I love this TENT!

I have camped for many years and have owned many many tents, and still have a decent stock of about 15, running a events company I spend a lot of the warmer months outdoors touring various festivals and events.

I have had this tent for 5 years now and it is still my go to tent. Excellent head room, rugged, has lasted extremely well, and I, and the English, and French, weather has put it through it paces.

I have had to run seam seal over the 5 roof pole seams, but that is to be expected. Never leaked even when quite frankly I would have expected it to.

And conversely to some options on here I love the fact it doesn't have a sewn ground sheet for the 'living' section, most of the time I prefer the grass. And if you do want the groundsheet its hardly a hardship to lay it down and clip it in.

Once again well impressed. Love it a lot.

I bought this tent originally in 2003 it has lasted me well , I use it on a regular basis from April through to October every year . Its the best tent I have ever owned. Now after nine years of heavy use from friends and family over the years and even people that had difficulty with their own tents ( that we only met on the tent field ) we have accommodated them and us with ease . Now after all this time we are replacing our tent as the aluminium poles have finally been committed to the grave that said I bought a new tent yesterday and its being delivered today . To say I am excited to receive my new tent is an understatement . And what have I bought to replace the Nevada pro action 8 person tent .I have bought an identical 8 person Nevada pro action tent . I haven't found any other tent I like as much as this plus I have spare parts should anything go wrong . Very happy with this piece of kit and I'm hoping it will give me another 9 years of great reliable camping as the last one did .And just as many happy memories . Looking forward to my next camping trip in a few days time : )

We got this tent as a wedding present, and haven't looked back. It has put up with some horrendous weather, wet, wind and even snow. It's still going strong now, we've just had to replace one of the fibreglass poles. Easily suits a family of five and a dog, and has coped with kids parties, two week holidays, quick stopovers. It's great, we just wish we could get it back in the bag each time - but then that's the same for all tents!

This tent has been excellent, I have had it for 12 years and have used it at least twice a year, every year. We have camped in all weather's, from sun rain, gales and even frosts. This year I have decided it's time to let the poor girl rest, (getting a bit old and shabby now, bit still kept us dry) and have just bought another tent. I must say I am really missing her already. I paid Ł120 for her and have definitely had my money's worth. For a budget (summer tent) its excellent and would definitely recommend it .
