The campbed dimensions are L192 x W132 x H45 cm and the sleeping compartment at its shortest is L230 x W190 cm so it should theoretically fit. I would question it fitting! Have to account for the gradient of the tent for edge to peak.... the tent may be 230cm wide on the ground... but at 45cm off the ground it certainly wont be 230cm wide. Cant be bothered working the maths out but I doubt it will fit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been looking at these too, thinking they would be more comfortable than inflatable mattress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into the self inflating mats I got a double vango 10cm thick one and is like sleeping on a real bed way better then air beds I have also used 5cm thick ones in the past which I would also consider comfier then a air bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatAmmy Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 What do the 4-man bell tents have for flooring? Would I be comfortable with just a sleeping bag or do I need a pad/mattress?

There are thousands of scout and bell tents compared to a few dozen or so podpads in WV (well was that way when I last went in there a few years ago). The podpads are also very much in high demand for some reason so it's unlikely that one will go back on resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought that was the case but thought it's always worth a try just incase one comes back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tent no matter what it has on the floor is comfortable with just a sleeping bag. Buy yourself a blow up bed from Tesco. They're only about £10. Then thank me later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi..... for what it's worth, my wife and I use two single camp beds like this with an air mattress on top - in a 2 man scout tent and it fits fine. Loads of storage space under the bed and still room for stuff down each side - no problem!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havors Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 So question for people that stayed worth view last year.... What are the showers like? How many? Changing rooms? And the girls in our party want to know if there is somewhere to use their hairdryers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the girls in our party want to know if there is somewhere to use their hairdryers? 2 large changing tents (1 male, 1 female) with benches and mobile van things at the end full of showers, probably about 16 showers for each section. looked a bit like this: I think there's a separate tent beside the changing rooms with electrical outlets for hairdryers/straighteners. think WV might have provided some too.
