We've got a Coleman for proper camping trips, but we need something for the garden or local trips when DH doesn't want to come/we are busy during the day and want to chuck something up at night.

I know the pop up festival tents are a bit rubbish and condensation is bad, but can anyone recommend anything easy with a bit of headroom please?

bit over budget (at c£150 delivered) but fab weekender, and its got some character too - we love ours

pyramid

Pyramids are great solo pitch tents, and the older ones on ebay can be a good deal. Gumtree may help you too
