Hi folks

Have just returned from taking my two small boys on their first ever camping experience.  It all went really well except we simply didn't have enough room once it rained.  We currently have Vango 4 birth but there is only a very small porch area and I would love to be find something that had a living space at the front. 

I have seen a couple that are 5 birth with two sleeping sections side-by-side with the porch in front which I like the look of but I'm not sure how easy this would be for me to put up on my own.

So I'm looking for a tent that can be put up alone, but also spacious enough for a small family. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.

Not going to rush out and buy it now but thought if I have a few types to look out for I can keep an eyes on sales etc.

Thanks :)

I have the Vango Calisto 500, my hubby can put this up on his own, and myself and the 8 and 4 year olds can do it also. It has loads of room, also a porch for that extra space.

Hi, I'm no expert, my wife and I have only just started camping. We have an Outwell Nevada M which seems roomy to us; we managed with the two of us plus our adult daughter. I am 56 and not very fit but have managed to put the tent up and take it down on my own.
