My dad treated me and the kids to a tent as my eldest is in the beavers and were going on a family camp.
Looked at the regatta/proAction 2 room dome as only me and the kids would be great, but during the slae they had the visavi 6 person for less so chose that one. however have had 3 now all with faults, meant to be getting a refund rather than try and get one without faults.

have now booked a holiday with a female freind and her son to go camping with need a 2 bedroomed tent with large living area min 2000hh large head hight (i'm nearly 6') but want a resonable pricearound £150 mark please

thanks Mike

You need to up your budget a bit to get the Vango Icarus 600 at £215 or the Icarus 500 at £130 with the added premium extension at £70 or thereabouts.

I would recommend those tents for your family although I'm not sure how many are in your party.

Hi
Your first mistake was buying a tent from an image and not from a camping shop, meaning get out there and visit a proper camping store that has a good display of tent.

You will be pushing it at £150, all you will get is the same again. If you up the budget to £250 you will get so much more for your money and be a lot more comfortable.

You have one of the biggest camping stores on your door step, Camping international in Gillingham.

Gaynors of Ambleside have the Icarus 600 for £155.

Also GoOutdoors will price match online plus 10% off.

If you like the tent of course. It seems to fit your requirements and the reviews at the top of the page are worth reading.

no idea if the compay is any good so check them out first but the Vango Icarus isn't £215 I've found it for £164.99

See HERE

And £189.99 HERE this is a shop I use.

Everyone raves about the Icarus so if you can get it for165 think you'll be ok.

Just google it and check out the prices and delivery charges to find the best price.

I would search for you but am supposed to be getting ready to go out not reading about tents LOL
