Thanks for the freephone number I've just phoned to see if they had it in my local store but they didn't, They had 3 left at the next store so i've reserved 1 and am picking it up later.

Thanks!

Rather by a trusted make from somewhere like https://www.e-awnings.co.uk for around £80 no fun camped out when your tent is leaking or blown away excellent info at https://www.ukcampsites.co.uk reviews of tents, equipment, campsites etc.

Got mine last week for the kids to camp in the garden with.
To be honest I wouldn't use it for anything else!
The flysheet was poorly made and doesn't completely cover the inner at ground level so any rain and you will get wet. Segmented tent poles had
some metal fitting missing (they should be moulded in and cant be added later!) meaning that the poles could not be put together and the tent kept collapsing. As a result the kids gave up and came back in the house at 12.00
The door design is very poor - again you would get very wet if you needed
to get in or out during rain. deally it should have had a small porch.
Mattresses are really flimsy - kneeling on one put a hole in it!
Sleeping bags seem fine though!
For the money I dont suppose you can expect much but mine is going back and I am going to look at the halfords camping sets which seem much better
(although twice the price!).
Hope others have had more luck!

Haven't camped in it but from observing it in the back garden I would probably agree with you.

Good price though for 4 sleeping bags and an outdoor play tent for the kids.

Got our camping kit last week and camped out in it the other night. It was great! 3 of us in it comfortably, dont know where person number 4 would go?? So simple to put up - took just minutes. If everything is tied in the right place the inner is well covered. We did not use the mats, used our inflatable beds instead. Sleeping bags were great as well. It would be ideal for someone that has never camped before, just to let them try it and see if they like it. Lets face it - at £25 it isnt going to be Buckingham Palace - just a fun tent to go and enjoy the great outdoors in. Happy camping :rotfl:

Glad yours was ok topmum. You were braver than me staying out in it!
I had tied everything correctly - outer to poles etc, but my outer was just too small and one side of it just wasn't symmetrical. For £25 it really is good for the kids in the garden but when we go away camping the kids want their own tent and I wouldn't risk it for a weekend if there was any possibility of bad weather. Also worth buying some decent tent pegs if you go for one of these!
Saw one of the halfords tents up today and although the design is better the quality still isn't that great but overall I would say a better set.

Just thought id share the bargin i found in our local sainsburys, would make a good xmas prezzie or prezzie for camping teenagers or family.

Hi I just picked up the tent and sleeping bags for 12.50 and a chimerena for 15.00 was 60.00 at sainsburys in shirley solihull (note they where in the store not the maqure.) They also had the weber BBQs reduced from 120.00 to 30.00
