Hello,

Family of 3, 2 adults and 1 15 month old toddler. I'm looking for a tent that meets these criteria:

1) High enough to accomodate me (6 foot 5)
2) Quick and easy to put up
3) Not too heavy and bulky

We would probably only camp for 2 or 3 nights at a go and when the weather / forecast is good!

Budget is around the £200 mark

many thanks for recommendations

Dan.

Have a look on gooutdoors website at the outwell nevada 3.  My parents have just ot this and it is sooooooo easy to put up.  My bf who is about 6ft 2 had plenty of room to stand in it and my dad is 6ft 3 and can too. 

It is the biggest 3 person tent i have seen that is also easy to put up and i am very tempted to buy one myself.

i like the look of the wynnster ospry 4 but stuggerling to find anywhere that stocks it. Is there just 1 big bedroom or is it seperated off in any way? Would prefer to put the little one in her own space....

thanks
Dan.

I'd second the Oregon 5 if you want 2 bedroom pods and lots of space for the 3 of you. But if you are happy to all share a bedroom I don't think you'd beat the Nevada 3 for less than £100 - loads of space for a 3 berth and sewn in groundsheet to keep your toddler snug!
