I bought this tent for sole camping and also for my son to camp with friends.

A pop up tent, quick to erect was my main thought when looking for a tent.

It is roomy, (for the lone camper) with plenty of space in the living area and the storage area.

On my first outing (only had one so far) - the tent, air bed and table/chair with bottle of wine poured into a glass were all done within 17 minutes. Bear in mind that this was my first attempt at putting it up properly, and I was rather thirsty!

The rain was torrential throughout my first night - and I had a couple of drips through the vent onto me, - in hind sight this may have been due to strong winds too, as throughout the following day with worse rain, not a drop came in.

There's a knack to taking it down, and you will (unless you're a genius) get a bulge in your tent bag, after putting it all back in there.

THere are You Tube videos about tent erection and dismantling - it's a really good idea to watch them, especially the dismantling ones.

I don't think it's particularly suitable for 4 adults, unless they're very friendly and have bed mats, but certainly 3 with their air beds would be no problem.

I really liked this tent, Liked the space and the speed with which it popped up and was put away.

Brilliant tent, and would look at the 4.2 for more comfortable camping for more people.

Bought this as a short break/weekend tent as we already have a bearlake 6 for our main holidays.

We wanted something quick and easy to put up and take down, but with enough space for our family of 4. This tent certainly ticks all of the boxes!

We camped in heavy, persistent rain and wind, underneath trees causing huge drops of rain, leaves and twigs to drop on us, but we stayed lovely and dry and warm. With plenty of room to sit, cook, and play cards etc.

Would definitely recommend this tent especially at the price we got it for on offer at Ł99.99 from decathlon.

As promised my update.

We lived in this tent for a week in mid Devon. It was ample for two adults and one small child. The tent stayed completely dry through a night of heavy rain and stood up to some strongish wind on the last night. It was very hot for the rest of the week but with all the vents open the tent kept well aired and cool. The heat was kept in when we needed it at night too, thanks to the black fabric of the bedroom. The black fabric also helped convince the three year old that it was dark for sleeping. Our only complaint was that the storage area was separate from the groundsheet and we had a mouse visit each night. Minor annoyance really, we made sure no food was accessible and that did the trick. I think this was more to do with our tents location than anything else.

All in all this is a good quality tent, spacious, quick to pitch (I did it while hubby took our little one to the loo!) and pack away and full of useful hooks and pockets for stuff. We may buy the base seconds full to add to it for next time.

I purchased this tent for our upcoming trip to Devon next week. I've looked at pop up tents for a long time now. Our previous tent was a pro action 6 berth viv a vis tent which we hated. Before that I had an outbound 4 berth dome which was fab.

We wanted something quick to put up, spacious enough for our double airbed and our three year olds airbed. We want to be all in one room to share warmth.

We purchased this from the Wednsebury Decathlon and have practised with it twice. We can get it all up in about 5 min including guy lines etc and down in about the same time frame. We did study the demo vid a few times first! I can't wait to properly test it out and I will definitely update soon.

Thrilled so far and we can expand with a base seconds and another pop up when little man gets bigger :-)

Manufacturer's Description

Designed for 4 people looking for a FAMILY HIKING TENT with 1 spacious bedroom that is very quick to pitch and to fold.

# Dimensions and weight - Roomy 4m2 living area, with max height of 1.75m. Storage area is 1.5m2. 12kg.
# Bedroom - Bedroom for 4, comfortable in dimensions: 2.10x2.40m. Large storage pocket.
# Living area/storage - With its 4m˛, you can easily seat 4 people around the table. The entrance door is protected by a large overhang. The large back window, protected by an overhang, can be left open even in rainy weather. The basin-shaped groundsheet in the living area prevents rainwater runoff into the tent.
# Access - A large door that can be easily stored in a pocket that is close at hand creating a living area that is open to the outdoors when the weather is fine. The edge of the groundsheet can be flattened at the entrance for easier access.
# Pitching/Folding - Innovation: the groundsheet can be positioned and secured before the tent is unfolded. This facilitates the right positioning of the tent, and its accurate set up. Then, you can unfold and set it up in under 2 minutes!
# Waterproofing - As with all Quechua tents, a lot of work is put in to ensuring they are watertight, through laboratory testing
# Ventilation - 1 large central upper vent in the living area. 1 upper vent in the bedroom and 1 upper vent in the storage area. 1 large insect-net window that can be closed. Top of the front door can be opened even when it rains. Everything is designed to maximise ventilation, and reduce natural condensation.
