PJ camping in St Albans and Collier Row, but I think their tent displays are outdoors so not sure how many they will have on display this time of year.......

Camping and General on Canvey Island have a large indoor display area.

      As already mentioned by "Kipperkid" there is a good indoor display of pitched tents at 'Camping & General' on Canvey Island. It might be worth waiting until early Spring, when the new seasons tents are displayed, though there's always the chance of a good 'end of season' bargain now...
      Perhaps you could have a look now and if none of the 'bargains' are exactly what you're after, try again in the Spring...
      Good luck with your search, I'm sure you'll find something that's just right for you, as there's a huge range to choose from these days...

Hi Janiebaby, as mentioned it would probably be better to wait till spring as the new range of tents will out and on display. Cross Camping at Melbourne , Cambs not far from Harlow hopes to have his displays out in March / April and would highly recommend you go and see Gary. If you want to look at tents now as pre previous post, Camping and General on Canvey has a good indoor display but are rather limited on the makes of tents on display.

PJ camping took their outdoor tents down in October and will put them up again in March. There are 2 or 3 on display inside at the moment, but I have found them quite expensive for everything.

Hi Janiebaby

Thanks for the recomendation Rick & Mel. We will start to pitch are outdoor display in early march and we should have one of the biggest displays of tents for miles. We are making the tent display 50% bigger for 2007. We will have a few early season deals on display also. We also have a large accessory shop which has everything for the family camper. Our web site will be updated over the next month or so with the new 2007 tent ranges from most of the main tent brands.

Regards

Gary Cross

Cross camping and leisure.

Camping and general have loads of tents up and they recently opened upstairs so there are more tents.  We had a look and I must say we were very tempted with a few of their bargains

As already has been said PJ camping haven't got any tents up and won't do until spring time.

Camping International in Gillingham have an indoor display of tents so I would expect them to have them up all year round though worth checking before visiting.

yes they do have them up all year.  i wouldnt say they were the cheapest though, so if there is a tent you like before hand, price it up before hand, then go and look. you can always ask them to price match.  they do deals on display tents too sometimes.
