Welcome to the addictive world of camping! Most new tents can be a little tight when they first go up. After a few goes it gets easier and you get more practiced in pitching it.

Use the campsite search on this site to find sites that take dogs, a lot do as long as they are under control so look at a longer lead and a screw-in spike. There is often a link to their website for more info. An average charge is £1 or so a night for a dog which is cheaper than kennels. You'll need to move fast to get a good site for the May bank holidays. Good luck!

It's very similar to ours...once you have fitted the bedroom, don't take it out.

Fold the whole lot up... I presume you have a groundsheet for the porch area, store that seperately but leave the bedroom in once it's there.

The other thing with this style of tent it to keep it square otherwise the fasteners won't stretch far enough at the diagonals.

And the last thing, its all doors.... you must keep them zipped fully shut while you are putting it up... essential!

We have booked somewhere close to us for 2 nights as a tester next weekend and we are all really excited, had another practise on putting the tent up today and have been gathering things for our trip, hope it all fits in the car, i bet we forget something though we always do!

Don't worry about forgeting something, there are so many 'bargain' shops around now, so if you forget an essential item you can usually buy one cheaply enough while you're away. Just enjoy
