My Mrs is after a tent she can stand up in, but isn't so huge that it costs a fortune or is freezing cold. I've seen a few teepie style ones that might do the job but £200 Luxe Megahorn 2 seems a bit much for something that's only going to get used a few times.

That Teepee looks like it might do the job.

Take a trip to Go Outdoors, they have a good selection on display so she can check them for size, then once you've found the right one, check online and see if you can beat their price

I went camping with my mate this summer and he has this tent, great size and loads of space with two camp beds and table (and bags!)

Great design and you can stand up in almost all of it! I was impressed to say the least. Came with a good bag as well.

I was going to suggest a Decathlon Quechua Base Seconds, with the optional inner tent. 6 foot inside small footprint can accommodate a double airbed and bags.

However Decathlon seem to do far more tents then when I got ours.

With the same requirement, I bought the Quecha Arpenaz Family 4.1 from Decathlon.

Sadly they don't make the accessories anymore for the Base Seconds. We have one we use as a makeshift porch/driveaway awning with our Bongo. Shame as if love an inner tent and tailored groundsheet for it.

Mmm I have a base seconds that is rat damaged! Found out when unpacking on site. The inner was ok however. Fortunately premier inn nearby had £29 rooms!

But now you mention it do I keep it and buy another base tent or sell you the inner and buy a new tent for once in ten years I will use it?????

Here's our tent.. Campfeuer 5000. We have a kitchen in it with gas and electric, and we don't use the bedroom, we just put down an inflatable double bed (with rugs each side and a wee bedside table on each side), and inflatable sofa, and still have tons of space.

Over 2m high, simply erected in 20mins by two people, sewn in sheet means no bugs or water, totally waterproof (well tested!!), tons of space. It measures about 5mx4m.

Space is king when camping!!
