Can you help me find a tent?

[ManchesterGlasto]

so we need a tent with 3 bedroom pods in - want it to hold its own in a downpour but that's about it really. The cheaper the better but happy to stretch a bit. Any ideas???

Some on amazon but no idea if they are any good:

This looks pretty good you can create four compartments or have two. http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/hi-gear-kalahari-elite-8-family-tent-p286230

I have one of the Skandika ones, not the one shown but similar, it's a great size and fabulously waterproof, they have loads listed on ebay. It survived an apocalyptically wet week in cornwall totally unscathed, the only minus point is the groundsheet for the centre area is not sewn in, they are for the bedroom pods though. Massive amount of communal space too. I'm taking mine to Glastonbury for the first time this year and have complete confidence in it! They have many different styles on ebay so well worth checking out although some are ridiculously huge!

this one is very similar to mine

This one seems to have good reviews for family groups:

not cheap at £200 but it does sleep 6 and is big enough to have a disco inside

biggest 6 man on here only has two rooms

i have two of these in the 10 man version. It is a fabulous tent with loads of room, but weighs a ton.

How many of you are actually going? If it's just 3 people with a room each some of those tents are huge!

Yeah only for 3 of us but all need own sleeping space. I'll use the tent again for family. Will check some of those out - the tent I had last time didn't hold up that well in heavy rain and didn't have a sewn in ground sheet so looking to improve on that.

[verrymerry]

I guess it would probably take up less room than 3 separate tents, but I'd bear in mind you'll need to either arrive early or camp in a further out field if you want to find space for one of those mansions

Ha - some of them are huge!

We don't want loads of excess space but only 1 person will be arriving Wednesday and will be putting tent up (no idea how alone!)
