I cant believe this tent for this price 50 quid? absolute bargain I tell you!Firstly you need a two person tent even if you are just going on your own! you need room for your stuff as well!This tent is very easy to set up.put down ground sheet first, make sure two fabric straps of main tent are under ground sheet. its got a bathtub style to keep water out and also sewn in is the lining of the tent.Peg down the ground sheet.put together the main poles and insert then in the two sleeves, the end of the poles need to go in the eyelets on the fabric that goes under the ground sheet.you then need to just peg up the guy ropes to keep the tent up. pretty simple but practice in the garden before you go anyway.

I previously used a very cheap, smaller, pop-up tent which was boderline acceptable and this is a great improvement. There is an outer sheet which is what you see in the picture, plus an inner tent complete with sewn-in groundsheet. The inner attaches to the outer with elasticated plastic hooks which leaves a gap between it and the outer. This ensures that weather is kept away from the inner living area and I found it works extremely well, bone dry in the morning. I am using this tent for just myself and I have lots of space for sleeping (can stretch out my 6 foot body) with lots of space left for my kit, more than enough. It takes a little more time to erect, mainly pegging down all of the guy ropes,

As a new solo camper, this has been a fantastic tent for my recent two trips. I can handle putting this up fine on my own, although the instructions are quite vague so practice before you leave home. The only time-consuming part is putting all the tent pegs in and fitting the guide ropes, of which there are many, but this is useful in high wind. Get a rubber mallet, spare pegs (in case you lose/bend some) and a peg lifter.There are no interior hooks to hang items except for the pockets, but I've found it easy to hang my torch on a hook that is attaching the porch end of the interior lining to the exterior tent. The porch is very useful even in good weather.The bag is a little small for both the exterior tent,

Coleman Coastline 2 Compact 2 Person Tent - Green/GreyWe had a few tents over the years.. this is the smallest my wife and I have purchased. Its extremely easy to setup, no need for instructions, it can only go up one way.. first assembly took us about 18 mins. the second attempt took us about 15 mins.. and the third about 12 mins. Its well designed.. with large side pockets inside the tent.. with good ventilation., we had no condensation in the morning even though the camp side with wet with due.. the outer sheet run off was good. There was no water collection points. we pitched literally about 20 feet from the bottom of Cadair Idris and then climbed the mountain after breakfast.We had a warm

Bought this tent in the spring with the intent of using it at Bestival 2011. Bought while still in the US I had it sent to a UK adress It arrived quickly very good ship. The instructions were easy to follow. It was very easy to erect even in a gusty wind. The tent proved to be very waterproof as it was off and on rain throughout the festival. The ground sheet proved to be efficient as no water leeched through keeping my stuff inside dry. The outer porch area although I kept zipped shut the entire time was a great help to keep muddy boots and a leaking cooler away from the sleeping area. The pockets inside were convenient for storing extras like a torch.

Good large solid tent. For the price, I think it's really rather good. I only have two complaints. One is that as many have mentioned, the entrance pieces seem to be mis-shapen: you cannot have them taut if you also want the "door" taut. It is simply impossible. Trust me. The sides of your entrance will flap around in the wind. This is OK except in rain, when it exposes a bit more of your entrance to the rain.If you are car-camping, go for something bigger, like the 3 Plus. The inside is very spacious, but you have your bed there, so you have to keep that area clean. This means that if you need to go outside in the rain, you will have to put your shoes and rain jacket on while crouching in the tiny front area.

I would recommend this tent for people who want a quick pitch with no fuss as the poles are the same size, even a klutz like me can erect it in a little more than 5 minutes. I have Magyvered a camp bed by sawing an inch off either end and it now fits perfectly without touching the inner tent meaning I am comfortably off the ground with all my gear stored underneath, making getting up and dressed really easy. It is also tall enough that I can enter and exit by stooping which is more dignified than going on your hands and knees.I used it for the first time in August last year on a walking trip to Yorkshire and despite the heavy rain we were warm and dry although I did get a little water in the porch because of the design (the sides of the porch are a couple of inches off the ground)

I've been camping many times, my previous tent was busted so thought it was time to invest in a new one...I went to Snowdonia over the weekend 2 nights 3 days, it was pouring with rain and 55mph winds...7 tents around me collapsedthey were drenched but this tent stayed up! I can't praise this tent enough! It was warm and spacious for two. Packing up was a little tough as the bag mentioned by others is small, however I rather have a small bag and worry about packing later than have my tent blown away in the middle of the night!We left our bags in the tent with us, the porch did have a puddle of water but I knew better than to leave anything by my waterproof boots out there and they were fine.

I wanted a tent to take to a motorcycle rally. It had to be small enough packed up to get on my bike but also not tool small when erected to be cramped. I went for this tent as it had good reviews on Amazon and also looked like it fitted my requirements too. As it was my first rally I didn't want to spend too much either.When the tent arrived, it was erected in the garden and found to be really easy to put up and pack away. I used the tent on the rally and found it to be both warm and well ventilated. The size is right for one person. It could be a bit cramped with two people unless you had somewhere to store your kit.

It is certainly easy to set up and pack away. We have left the inside compartment attached which makes it even quicker to assemble and pack away All you need to do is roll it out, put in two poles and peg it in. It is large enough for a double mattress and the two of us fit in quite comfortably. However, we learnt from our first experience that we will have to fold in the porch ground sheet as we woke up to a huge puddle. Besides that little mishap, it is very waterproof - the water beads off and we didn't have any condensation in the morning. It is a great colour for wild camping as it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and is compact and lightweight enough to attach to a rucksack.

This is the best tent I have ever owned, the quality is a huge step up from the cheapo supermarket tents that I've used in the past. The flysheet material and the ventilation are so much better. You can easily fit a double airbed inside, with about a foot of room alongside for your things. The porch area is quite small, so you won't be sitting in it, but provides more storage space for messy things like boots. It's compact, but maybe a bit too bulky and heavy for backpacking trips.In hindsight, I think I'd have preferred a dome tent to this tunnel style, as they are a bit easier to put up on your own (although it's still very do-able) and seem to get a bit more tension on the flysheet.

As ever with tents, the size recommendation is way off. You won't fit three people along with rucksacks and equipment in this. I bought it as a one-man temporary home for the Glastonbury Festival and it was just about perfect. It survived huge downpours with ease and dries out easily as well. Like any tent with this material, it's like a sauna within seconds in the heat, but some space blankets see to that. The porch is a good design and sizeable. It comes with velcro to fix the material over the zip, adding crucial seconds to a potential theft and making it more likely the thief would enter a more accessible tent. Once you've got the basics (outer sheet first, fix the corners, slide in the poles,

This is a superb festival-style tent. Size-wise, it is luxurious for one (without being ridiculous), would be perfect for two, and fine at a squeeze for three. You know some tents where every single design decision is wrong, and others where every single design decision is right? This is the second type! About the only thing I could fault it for is not having a loop to hang a light at the top of the inner. Goes up easily, no problem keeping the inner away from the outer. For me (at least) much, much better than the Gelert tent I bought on Amazon before this one. You'd want something smaller and lighter if you were carrying it with you for serious trekking, but for a bit more comfort,

We're non-campers but friends invited us so we thought what the hell. Two weeks of surfing and reviews and I got "tent-blindness". Saw this one early on, and I'm so glad we bought it. Sleeps one large man indulgently, two full grown adults + gear comfortably. Not tried 3, but two adults and a skinny teenager would probably be ok too. Front "porch" is added bonus.Next trip all we need is a blow up bed, and I'll be a "glamper" for life!Quality - excellentDelivery - fastGreat shape - pretty cool for a tentEasy to put with two - managable with one. Take the advise of an earlier reviewer and set it up before you go and pre-attached the ground sheet. Goes up in minutes on site after that.All in all,

Great product for the price, Highly recommended. Easy construction, Relatively lightweight, Comes built in with insect repellent lining, The tent bag itself is fairly small and portable. The only reason i did not give it 5 stars is because the actual bag is fairly small and almost impossible to pack away quickly and easily, The tent itself can be put up and pegged down within 20 minutes but packing the tent requires patience, I guess though you cannot have everything for such a great price. Buy it you will not regret it, The tent can fit two easily and is great as a wild travelling option for spring,summer and autumn.
