hi all been browsing site for a while now getting lots of usefull tips have decided on buying either a vermont L or vango amazon for main family tent however have now decided to leave that till early next year.  In the meantime ive decided on purchasing a much smaller tent to take the kids away weekends whilst husband working.  Would be most appreciated if you could give me some ideas need the following requirements:

1. Suitable for me 2 kids and a dog

2. VERY easy to erect (easy enough for 5.4' girlie and an 8 year old)

3. budget around £200

Many thanks.

weve got the gelert quebec8+4 for £150, 2 bedrooms, easy to erect. have you tried the tent review pages.

Thanks for the feedback everyone,

After spending hours searching the internet and reading reviews decided to go for a vango orchy 600 - thought i would just go ahead and purchase it last night, cant believe it not in stock anywhere!!  going to keep trying if cant get it think im going to go for the outwell nevada.m - decisions decisions.  Why is it so hard to pick a tent

I don't know your location but I noticed that Go Outdoors in Stockport had a pile of 7 or 8 of theOrchy 600's in a corner and they looked like they were just about to put them on display after being out of stock for a while. They are not in stock on the website and I'm not sure the store would arrange delivery but it might be worth a try.

try Outdoormegastore for Orchy 600.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone.

Managed to get an Orchy 500 footprint carpet and large canopy from go outdoors  maybe a bit smaller than the 600 but will suit us fine probably better for me getting it up. Will have the garden test as soon as it arrives and hopefully all will be ok.  Now im reading the campsite reviews!!! Cant wait till we're off  

Must say Fab site!!
