We're off camping for a few days next week with our 15 month old. Our old tent isn't suitable and the one we were going to borrow is no longer an option so I need some advice please!

Need to have at least 1 big bedroom to fit in a double mattress & a travel cot, withstand the north yorkshire weather, decent living area and also somewhere to put all of our stuff.

Oh and one that we will still be speaking by the time its up :D

I like Sunncamp Family Vario 400 ( 4 Berth Tunnel Tent but its a bit at the top end of our budget (ideally for £200 we'd get a foot print and or carpet too)
or 'Hi Gear Voyager 4 Family Tent'.

Any other suggestions? Bearing in mind I have to have this to camp tuesday!!

How about a vango Icarus 500? Available here for £159:

http://www.fieldandtrek.com/vango-icarus-500-tent-2013-783112

They also have footprint for £20. If you got Go Outdoors to pricematch (i.e beat by 10%) you would get the two for £161.10.

If you want the carpet it's £49.99 here:

Price match at Go Outdoors again to get it for £45,giving you tent, footprint and carpet for £206.10

You might be able to beat this, I just did a very quick search.

You sound like you need my tent!!

Discontinued now but works to your advantage because what cost us £600 is now £140 new with free delivery on ebay. You don't say where you are but the seller is based in Mansfield or with your budget you could get a faster delivery i'm sure! Link at the bottom :)

Royal Austin 5 - It has a large bedroom area with a removable cloth divider. The larger side of the bedroom fits our double air bed when laid horizontally across the back of the tent with about 2 feet of room between the bed and door. The smaller side we usually have our little girl in on a single air bed but could probably fit a double airbed so if you were to take the divider down it would have plenty of space for a cot and good for as your little one gets older.

Also, got a nice sized living area for 2 adults 1 child. We have space for a table with the kitchen set up on and a table and 3 chairs which is cosy plus all the other stuff like rucksacks, footballs, shoes, coats etc.

All sewn in groundsheet with the toggles to lay flat when the side door or canopy are open.

I really can't knock it, it's a brill tent.
