My friend has a Vango Oregan 600 tent and I like that - but I can't find anywhere local that stocks them - I live near Manchester.   

I like the fact that there is a bedroom big enough to sleep four people ( 2 adults and 2 children) comfortably and that you can put all your gear in the bedroom at the other end, and quite happily live and cook in the middle bit.

 

If I can't find that exact tent, does anyone have any suggestions as to a similar type tent please - ALSO it would be helpful if it was a tent which isnt difficult to put up and which could, if needs be, be put up by one adult and and 8 and 5 year old!!

 

Any suggestions and help would be very much appreciated thank you.

I have the same question as camping mummy. I am looking for a tent for 5 of us - 2 adults and 3 young children.  I am considering the Gelert Horizon 6 and have also looked at the Khyam Seattle and the Sunncamp Evolution 600. We had a disaster with a tent this week. We live in Wales and often camp locally and experience the best (or worst) of Welsh weather.  Our tunnel tent met its match last Weds and is now in a bin. Does anyone have any opinions re the above or any other recommendations to make?

We want something that will be big enough and will be relatively quick and easy to pitch.

Thanks
