Hi all , well we did it lol we borrowed my mum in laws tent and went to norfolk for 5 days .Tent was a bit small had 3 bedrooms but no room to sit in and we had a massive storm one night!  We are now looking to buy a tent and i think i like the dome tents but there is five of us so i need at least 3 bedrooms and a big living area with a slight porch that we can sit in, can anyone advise on a good tent that will stand up to rain, storms ect.

PS loved it so much we are going back on 13th this month but got to use small tent again

if you can get one, try looking around a camping shop that has tents erected. Have a really good look inside, take the kids (or whoever is going) and ask one of them if they can lie down comfortably in the 'bedrooms'. Also make sure you have enough headroom, there is nothing worse than stooping for days at a time!!

Happy hunting!

Hi all,

Thanks for your advise, i did take a trip to camping and general just to look at the the tents and i now know i need one with at least 4 bedrooms and a big livivng area and def a porch.  Money is a bit tight at mo but was wondering is is better to buy a tent in winter? would they be any cheaper lol  I could have spent a fortune on camping stuff but credit card maxed   so im going to drag OH to bootsales.

Only 7 days till we go again!!!

Well hi all, we've just got back form Norfolk again and ive got the bug big time! Now we are going to buy a TT as when my mother and father inlaw turned up my son and daughter had to sleep in a little 2 man tent that didnt stand up to rain very well!
