We can't decide which one to get! We want either 5 or 6 man, not fussed which, have 2 young children and an estate car that it will need to fit in to. Want a decent 'living' space for horrible weather.

Just cAnt decide so an recommendations greatly appreciated! Faults as well :-)

Personally I would go for the Croyde as its a cracking tent, lots of room for 4 in bedrooms and living area, built in front porch which can be enclosed with a vestibule or rolled back if not wanted, steel poles for extra stability, decent quality I could waffle on but suffice it to say we bought ours in 2011 and have had no real problems with it. It was our second Kampa tent and are now on our third and all have been good quality and excellent value for money. The latest Mk2 the Brown one has a number of improvements over the previous Blue one so is the better buy.

What differences are there between the 2 croyde ones? Have to say we are swaying towards the croyde!

The biggest difference is the new front door arrangement this can now be opened in various positions from a normal door to fully opening the front. There is an additional rear vent I think there is provision for storm straps, the curtains have storage pockets and probably something ive missed. The pack size is not that big so will have no problems fitting in an estate. They really are nice tents just sold ours as now have a Kampa polycotton, are you buying new or used?

We will buy new. Sounds daft but I wonder if its too big! I mean most of the time will just be weekends with once a year going for a week. Is it just too big for a weekend camping trip?!

No def not too big, we have a Croyde just for the two of us and its our only tent so se it for weekends, weeks, one nighters whatever. Lovely to have lots of space especially if the weather is bad and you can't it outside. Can't peak highly enough of our tent, we always look at other tents but have decided that when ours eventually needs replacing we will go for the same tent.

As some of you know im a fan of Kampa and the new Croyde but dont dismiss the Woolacombe 6, its a great tent for not a lot of money. Look out for some package deals at this time of year.
