Hi,

I'm looking for a tent that is both easiest for once person to put up, tall enough for me to stand up in (I'm 5'2") and has space for me to sit in a chair, ideally in a porch.

I've already bought a Gelert Twister 5 this year which I hate but the over half loves so I can't put it on ebay. I can't get it to go back in the bag, despite in theory understanding how to do it. It just makes me cross  This leaves the budget a bit short though (around £75 maybe more if its a great deal).

It'll get used maybe 3 or 4 times a year for LRP events (think festivals with less music and more dressing up) so I don't get the option of choosing only sunny weekends but it won't get used before May or after September.

I've looked through the reviews and read the forums but I  think I'm more confused now then when I started, at least then I was down to three Lichfield Creek, Colemans Marajo or the Sovereign 4 person, they are all on Argos. Now however I've been looking at the Vango Ventura 5 or the Eurohike Stowe and all sorts of other things.

Have I missed any obvious better options ? I don't need a massive tent, but I do need to be able to stand up.



Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

New! Please upload a photo of your tent to the Tent Showcase!

What about a Sunncamp evolution?

They range from 3 person to 6 and have great reviews and are apparently very easy to pitch
