very nice indeed, looks very sturdy and cosy, it is heavy?
Not too bad - 24k all in one (surprisingly small for canvas) bag.

It's just one of these with a sim on top. I've got a Sunncamp xl single sleeping bag on top of it all. Very, very comfy & my favourite sleeping set up. The only thig to watch out for is the extra height of the camp bed and the sloping sides of the tent - very restrictive in some tents - won't fit in my Atlantic with the sleeping pod in.

Anne, can I ask which SIM you use?
I've bought camp beds for us this year and want to invest in some SIMs to go on top but I'm a bit confused as to which would be best.

I use a fat airic - they are probably at bit OTT for on top of a camp bed but soooo comfy and I can also use them as they are meant to be used lol! if the bedroom pod is too small for a camp bed.

Thanks Savanne - I absolutely love her - I've slept in her for the last 2 nights and can't believe how cozy I've been! I've got the excuse that my mum and sister are staying so as the tent is up I may as well use it lol!!

Nothing booked sadly (hence the garden camp). because we have the 4 foster babies it is hard at the minute to commit to anything as we are not sure what the plans for them are yet - we could be moving them on to their adoptive families or back home at any time so can't make any plans yet. Hoping to got a night at Deersglade in May but will have to wait & see.

What a lovely garden!

Oh, and Loulou's not bad either - no wonder you pitch so neatly with a lawn and edges like that.

Is this for keeps?

Thanks for the nice comments re the garden - I'm very lucky having plenty of space to pitch - nice and flat - makes pitching very easy!

 

And yes, this one is definitely for keeps! It ticks every single box for me

They're not Outwell - they're Coleman

Looking for something that matches the dark green better though! The older vango pattern are good!
