Having finally persuaded OH to camp, we went to our local GO to get an idea of what sort of tent we would want. Whilst there, we saw the Voyager 6 and OH liked it a great deal for several reasons; he is 6ft 3in tall so firstly could stand up in the living area, the bedroom areas were nice and large (there are only three of us), it was a warm sunny day and the tent was well ventilated and didn't feel as hot and stuffy as some of the other tents on display, and finally the price (we got it for £145). The added bonus was the porch which is huge and creates a very large kitchen area or adds a lot of other living space. The carpet makes the tent feel warmer and more cosy and there is enough room for a boisterous four year old to play in if the weather is being unkind.
The tent was easy to pitch (neither of us have camped in some twenty plus years)but both found this straight forward and easy to put up. The poles are colour coded as are the clips for the inner so it really is very simple. The hardest part is getting the tent back into the bag at the end of the break (but that is one of life's great mysteries) and with plenty of shoving, squiishing and squashing we managed to squeeze it in.
I would recommend this tent to anyone who is looking for a good value (keep checking GO because the price changes a lot depending on the sales offer) family tent.

Just returned from 4 nights at Cayton Bay village campsite, used our Voyager 6 and porch - Absolutely fantastic tent!
Loads of space and head room, easy to pitch and put away. Its design means its very stable in the wind. We had some terrible weather building up to the bank holiday - not one drop of rain got in the tent!
The porch is a great addition, giving loads of extra space. We zipped the whole front panel off when cooking in the porch, still had room to put the table in there when it was raining!
Its well vented, although we did encounter a little condensation - but I put that down to cold nights and four of us plus border collie inside!
A great tent, with loads of space - excellent value for money and the porch is a great add on!

Easy to put up, secure, large living area, did not experience the same sort of rain issues as other reviewers that don't have porch, we don't have one and it was simple to just shake rain off the door before going in or leaving the tent. The ground sheet is well sown in, there are 2 entrance points for electric lead, no problems with this tent.

Haven't been camping in an age, and with two kids (4 & 2)we decided to give it a try. I looked at loads of tents, but the combination of space, features and price made me choose this over the Vango Samara 600. I bought mine as an ex-demo off Ebay and it's like new, no problems at all. Easy to put up and take down and with the carpet was nice and warm. Small bedroom bit disappointing as it's a squeeze for both kids but the large bedroom is brilliant for me and the wife.
Had lots of rain this weekend, but the tent shrugged it off and dried out very quickly in the wind when the rain stopped.
Highly recommended. Now if only I could find a footprint and a reasonably priced canopy!

After researching via the reviews on UKCampsite, UKCampsite forums and talking to friends, I narrowed my prospective purchase list down to the Voyager 6 or similar sized tents from Gelert and Vango. Went to Go Outdoors in Coventry to see a few of them erected, and the Voyager 6 really caught my eye. My initial impression that the design had been well thought-through has been confirmed by using the tent.
Attractive pricing helped - got the tent, footprint and carpet for £180. Watch out for Go Outdoors special offers.
First trip was last week, just myself and eldest son (aged 4). A couple of trial runs in the garden before we went - instructions were easy enough to follow, the poles are colour-coded which helps. I've done a reasonable amount of camping in small dome tents over the years so had some idea what I was doing. Bearing in mind my son couldn't do much beyond holding poles and banging in pegs, I reckon it took an hour from unzipping the bag to the tent being up with carpet down and bedrooms in.
Site was suffering some pretty strong gusts of wind on arrival. I was concerned that we'd struggle as my son wasn't able to hold poles up as he'd done at home. In the end, I pegged down the windward side of the groundsheet, got the two main poles for the central dome in and guy-roped them to hold them up, then carried on from there - seemed to work ok! This does seem to be a very stable tent.
I'm 6'2' and can stand up easily in much of the tent. Plenty of space for our gear, son was very pleased to be able to make a 'den' in the smaller bedrom and slept like a log. Larger bedroom is a great size for double airbed plus bags. Not sure that the tent would be particularly comfortable for 6 adults, or even a family of six, but plenty big enough for the four of us.
I'd recommend the carpet, made the tent very comfortable. One edge of it got wet when we had the door open in a sudden shower, but most of the water lifted out with kitchen roll and it dried quickly after that.
Plenty of ventilation but sensibly positioned so it's not draughty.
Got it back into the bag easily afterwards - as I'm sure others have commented, leave the doors open, fold it into one long section the same width as the bag, then roll it up around the pole bag towards the doors so the air gets squeezed out.
Only (very minor) problem - a couple of the ties to hold up the mesh doors hadn't been stitched in particularly well and came away from their mountings. Took approx 30 seconds with a needle and thread to reattach them.
Looking forward to a second trip in our Voyager 6 in the very near future.

I bought the Voyager 6 as I wanted a tent with a bigger living area. I had had a Mojave previously and liked it, so had no doubts about trying another Hi Gear tent. It was very easy to put up and my sister and I managed to put the tent up quite quickly - even I was surprised! The space that we had in the tent was great and even in the heaviest rain, there were no leaks at all. We did cut our camping trip short due to high winds. The tent had blown in completely on one side, losing it's shape and leaving the double sleeping compartment unusable. One guy rope had ripped off the tent, however we were lucky as none of the poles had snapped. I am hoping that the guide rope can be repaired as I do like the tent and hope to use it again.In more sheltered sites!

Decided we wanted more room than a 4 berth tent and went looking in Go Outdoors for any special offers. This fitted the bill perfectly. Bought the carpet as well.
Used it for the first time last weekend.FANTASTIC. Extremely easy to put up. Even managed without a trial run, how good was that?
Loads of room inside. Weather was good, but could have coped with all sorts as more than enough space inside. Used side entrance for the cooking side, just opened the flaps and away we went. No moving stuff outside.
One of us is well over 6', and we could stand up easily, makes such a difference.
Removed the middle partition in the large bedroom section meaning we had a super double room; used the other section to store everything. Particularly liked the storage compartments, great for putting all those little bits & bobs.
An absolute bargain and we cannot wait to go camping again. Hoping for loads more weekends with good weather, although this tent is suitable for inclement weather, we are definitely good weather campers :-)

This is the first large family tent that we have owned.
We were very happy with it, it's got more than enough room for me, my husband and our daughter.
Took about 20 mins to erect, although the instructions aren't the best we are not new to camping so sort of knew what we were doing.
Had lots of rain and wind the first night and the tent didn't leak at all, plus the sewn in groundsheet kept all the wind out and made sure that we were always cosy.
Overall a really good tent, only marked it as a nine due to the instructions.

I had been trying to find a 2010 model for the last year and eventually got one off ebay (though we paid as much as when the 2011 model was on special offer!)We wanted the 2010 model as the bedrooms worked better for us as 2 adults and 2 children. We have just had our first trip away and the tent was great-it was easy to put up (though we did have a practise in our garden first which I fully recommend. The space is great, we had all our cooking stuff and table/stool set etc in the living compartment, large double and 2 singles in the bedroom with space for bags too!
Just wish it had a reasonably priced canopy to go with it, instead of a very expensive porch which is as expensive as the tent!
Fully recommend the tent - it was worth the wait!

After popping to Go Outdoors for a water carrier for our first camping trip we left with the Voyager 6. Although it was a impulse purchase, we did check online reviews and they seem fairly unanimous in their praise. We can now add our own positive feedback to these, as we have returned from a dramatically thundery weekend in North Norfolk dry and happy.
The living area is extremely generous (especially for 2 people), but still felt cosy. We also bought the purpose made carpet, which adds a homely feel and keeps the tent lovely and warm. A double airbed fits well in the larger of the clip in sleeping pods with room at either side for dressing etc. We used the smaller of the pods as a storage area, but we think the tent would definitely sleep 6 comfortably. The height of the tent made my 6ft boyfriend's weekend a lot easier than other models would have done.
The tent has large windows so feels light during the day, and the double inner provided by the sleeping pods add extra warmth and protection at night. It was easy to pitch with 2 of us, standing in 10 minutes with a bit of extra time for pegging the guylines etc and clipping in the pods. It proved very stable & leak proof through some trying weather conditions. Packing away in high wind was still quick and easy. We improvised an extra groundsheet as the footprint for the Voyager 6 has been hard to source, however we have now found one and look forward to trying it out on our next trip.

Manufacturer's Description
A strong, stable and spacious 6-person tent with large windows and generous headroom.
Built using a strong semi-geodesic structure, the Hi Gear Voyager Elite 6 is an easily-pitched tent with room to accomodate 6 campers and all their gear.
It has a large, full-standing-height bedroom area, which can be adapted to convert some of the space into storage quarters if needed.
The groundsheet is sewn in, meaning you get no unwanted draughts, moisture or bugs getting in. Multiple windows (and mesh panels) let you control how much sunlight gets in, and maintain your privacy. The large front door and additional side door give you easy access for you and your gear, and also let you control ventilation.
It's stable enought to stand up to very windy conditions, with the cross-pole design giving it extra strength and flexibility.
A versatile tent that's great for families, groups of friends or festival-goers - and don't forget, you can add extra comfort and insulation by choosing the Hi Gear Voyager Elite Carpet, and extend your sheltered space by adding on the Hi Gear Voyager Elite 6 Porch.
