Can anyone recommend a tent with a sewn in groundsheet, 3000mm h/h, is easy to put up/down, costs around £100 and will sleep 4 comfortably?!

As mentioned in a previous post, I am drawn towards the campus yale, but before I take the plunge I just wondered if there are any other tents I should shortlist.

We already have a diablo 600 bit it's just too big and takes too long to set up.

Please help!

To be honest I think that your going to have to save up a few more pennies unless you intend on going secondhand

Hi

I don't know If It's to late but I bought my Sunncamp Stratus 4 for £80 from Highbridge Caravans as an Ex Display model.

It was cheap because It was coming to the end of the season and they had to clear out old stock before getting new stock In.

I guess If you could find a shop that's clearing out last year's stock then that'll save ya alot of money!!

But unfortunately most have probrably got only new stock now.

Good luck finding a new tent

Dan

I'm a new member so don't know if this reply is too late but have you seen the Easy Camp Napoli 500? Seen it on completeoutdoors.co.uk for £89.99.

i personally would save a bit more money and buy something a bit bigger. however saying that we bought our tent last year from someone for £100 it was almost new we decided that if we liked camping we could get something bigger this year and now we are looking at a wynnester mercury 900 excel as we loved it so much. the smaller tent was fine but the more you go camping the more you put on your wish list for the next tent you would like and we decided that we needed more room inside the living area

Sewn-in groundsheet tents don't come cheap. How about the Campus Breckenridge?

Don't worry, problem solved. I bought a campus yale. Superb for £95 ! I can leave the damn Diablo600 in the cupboard this year!
