Good Afternoon... it's my first post, so please go easy on me 
Looking to going camping with a couple of other families in a month or so.. it'll be our first ever venture into the camping world, and I am after some advice about the right kind of tent to purchase. Just to give you a bit of background of what we might need...
We are a family of three (incl. daughter aged 3). We would like a tent that is not so cheap that it'll put us off for life, but also not so expensive that it's money down the drain if we never go again.. maybe around £100 - £200 ? (appreciate that there are going to be [i]other[/i] expenses other than just the tent!)
Initially we would only be using it for weekends away, although this [i]may[/i] eventually become weeks away if we enjoy the experience. Tent would need to be fairly easy to erect, preferably by one person (or with a little help from second person). We have a large car (Scenic) so the size / bulkiness of the tent shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Would like to be able to stand in the tent, and also have some space other than the sleeping area. I suppose two bedrooms would also be better, for when daughter gets older, but ideally room for at least one double airbed.
Two tents that have been mentioned to me so far are the Outwell Nevada 3, the Vango Orchy 600 or the Khyam Winnipeg... I know nothing about these, or indeed any other more suitable tents that may be out there.
Any advice would be gratefully received!
Many Thanks
Craig
