Tents in General Reviews
Newest Review: ... camouflage as I though it was cool! It has two zips, once of them zips all the way round for the fly net (or to keep spiders away) and the other is the actual door. *popping up and folding down* So, popping up the tent was as easy as it says, throw it in the air and it does the rest, the sides pop out and all you have to do is help the positioning of it as it lands. Putting it away however, was not so easy. The instructions here were no use at all, it tells you to gather the 4 loops, easy enough, then it says stand the loops on its head and "twist" at a 180 degree angle. All this does it make the tent pop up in to your fa... more

*For the Non-camper* I bought this tent on very short notice for a friends wedding reception (believe it or not). Neither my partner or I are exactly the avid camper, so i needed to get a tent that I could handle! I bought this tend from Sports HQ and it arrived within 2 days. IT was also on sale so I paid just £20.00 for it including postage and packaging! When this arrived it came n a flat square box, no more than an inch deep. I couldn't imagine what it was. When I opened it, the tend itself was a flat circle in a lovely green camouflage-pattern zipped case. And whats the first thing you have to do? Open it up! *The tent itself* ...

I bought a Terra Nova voyager in june 2009 and less than a year later it was broken after only being used twice! For £280 that I paid for the Voyager tent I was hoping for a little more longevity! So I heard about excellent customer service and called and e-mailed them and was eventually told i'd need to have the flysheet replaced for £148! I was gobsmacked! I bought the tent for £280 in hope it'd last me 10 years but it's lasted me less than a year and on top of that £148 for a new flysheet which is friable to such an extent it broke being blown around in the garden! Furthermore the aluminium poles bent in the wind (all 3 of them!), though Terra nova did offer me a free replacement of these they wouldn't replace the flysheet. TERRIBLE!!!!!! NEVER BUY A TERRANIOVA TENT!!!!!!!!

When I was little I remember my friend used to go camping with her family and her Dad used to get their big frame tent out to air before they went so we were allowed to play in it. I used to love the whole feel of being in the tent and having to do the zips up to get in and out and all the different compartments in the tent. Since then I have always wanted to go camping but we as a family used to go in a caravan for a week with our extended family having their caravans too. When I met my husband he told me of camping trips he took with his aunt to Norway, Holland etc and I was hooked again. In 2006 we bought our first tent and took my ... Read the complete review

The tent that's more like a home away form home A BIT OF BACKGROUND TO START WITH: One spring afternoon may other half and I decided to take our first holiday. We booked for 4 days and 3 nights into a hotel in Paris. 4 days and 3 nights later we were back at our respective homes, still talking to one another, still happy together and with no blood spilt, talking about how we really ought to do it again. Now I'm no fan of beachy type holidays, going to bed at 7am and getting up at 5pm, preferring instead to be a bit more down to earth and peaceful, for me a holiday should be about recharging the batteries, seeing some interesting sights and enjoying ...
