Does anyone have this tent and if so what do they think?
I recently sold my Campus Indi 8 as it was too big for me and my son (as it was mainly me who had the job of putting it up) but this looks perfect. Any imput would be great

I have one of these tents and I love it, mind you it's my first tent so I can't really compare it with any others.  Hubby likes it as he can stand up in it (he's 6ft) and I like the SIG and the insect screens on the doors.    Try looking at it instore at Millets as we got an extra 30% of the price and got it for £125.00.  Bargain! Also because of the light colour it doesn't feel too dark if you have to sit inside for a bit and it doesn't come with one of those hanging storage things but I can buy one of those if need be.  I don't think I could put it up on my own though as it feels quite heavy when starting to lift the poles but my hubby would manage fine.  Not sure how old your son is but if he is able to lend a hand you should be fine especially if your used to putting up tents, unlike me!  It's not to big either for a weekend away, and we hope to use it for about a week if we are organised.  Hope this helps

ruby, my brother is about to put one on ebay, only used twice last summer. They want to buy something with one large bedroom instead of the two the cedar creek has. If you are interested email me. I have lots of pictures of it.

Hi, did you buy the Cedar creek tent last year?

If so how did you get on pitching it as we have just bought one and are having problems with the  tension on the back of the tent?

The tension problem means the poles dont sit right and the pegs dont go insecurely.

Also the groundsheet doesnt sit flush it looks like it is floating?

I also have the Cedar Creek and ours is the same, the groundsheet will not sit flush (poles are very tight).
I shortened 2 of the poles last year which did help a little, I might even shorten them some more before my next camping trip.
Does anyone use an extra groundsheet to keep the bottom of the Tents groundsheet clean?
