I love the design of both these tents but I know price wise they are miles apart. It is the tunnel design with the large integral enclosed porch/canopy that I really like. I'm thinking of the Wolf Lake 5 or the Corado 4 or 6

Is the extra money for the outwell worth it? Are there other tents of the same design that may fall between the price range of these two?

The Wolf Lake looks fantastic but the weight and the price are putting me off.

Thanks for any advice.

The kampa Filey is a tad cheaper than the wolf lake and they do it in both polycotton and polyester also they make others with this design but not steel poled carbis I think is the name

Yep I too would also suggest you look at the Kampa tents, we chose the Croyde 6 over the Corado 6 because we thought the quality was so much better

I have looked at both the Filey and the Croyde and they seem great value. Is one better quality than the other do you know please?

Yes the filey is better quality than the Croyde, having said that we have the Croyde and are very pleased with it, I have put a review in the tent review section. Also Kampas aftersales is brilliant

I have the Corado 4 and the Corado 6. They are both great tents. The front canapoyis actually bigger than the wolf lake canopy. having said that the wolf lake is an amazing tent. We also have the bear lake 6 and bought the front extension for it. The corado's are much easier to pitch.
