Hi, looking for a bargain before the new season!

What do you all suggest for....a family of 5 (kids 10,7,3) who want a bit of space to spread out(teddies and lego!) and camp for up to 10d at a time (and maybe squeeze another child in?)

We want polycotton, the kampa ones seem to have good reviews and mean we won't have to spend as many pennies as on Outwell.

It's the bedroom arrangements, really - we'd want a double airbed in one and 3 singles in another, or all bundled in as a 5, don't mind really - I 've read some negative comments about how the divided space works out in the Polzeath that's making me a little reluctant to just buy it!

Thanks for any advice and suggestions!

Don't know much about these tents but would say that for 5 of you you might find it a bit of a squeeze in a 6 berth tent. 

We have the Montana 6 and there are 4 of us and it's just nice.  More so it'll be getting 3 beds in the 2nd room (though assume you can add to extra bedroom if you wanted).  Living space would be fine but I'd be very tempted to spend out the extra and go for the Polzeath at £699.  At least with the 8 berth it gives you the flexibility to take the extra one as well if you want :)  not quite as much space for the grownups though.

Hi Stargirl,

I have a polzeath, Three children 6,8,11...The sleeping pods are two separate ones at the far end consisting of a double {tight for double mattress} Then a proper double with a zipped divider with another double, Makes Sense?

At the front right you have another double again would be tight for a double mattress. You can get the dimensions from Kampa's website.

Would be a squeeze to get a double and three singles in the main pod but possible depending on the size of the beds. Cosy though!!

I will say it a fab tent. Massive inside, light in the living, dark pods so you can sleep.

Very heavy, but after two seasons consisting of 7 trips the longest 7nights its a big thumbs up from me

I'm sure Zen is selling her polzeath (only used it once!), she has the kitchen extension, carpet etc etc

Can find out if your interested?
