Gelert Alaska 4

Advantages: Price, size, easy to put up
Disadvantages: None!!!

...During the past ten years or so i have used a number of tents for a variety of different occasions, and i have to say, so far out of all of them, this Gelert Rocky 4 is the best of them by far. Gelert is one of the countries biggest family camping brands, and now has 30 years of experience in producing quality camping equipment. Gelert believes that being based in the heart of snowdonia, helps them to put their experiences into creating better equipment for the likes of you and I. On the Gelert website, and also everywhere i have looked ( and where i got mine from) the price of this tent is £44.99. For a four man tent, whihc holds a decent manufacturer name on the front, this is quite a reasonable price. Going one step further, and looking at a Vango tent, which are considered to be the Creme de la Creme of the camping world, you... Read review

Disadvantages: heavy when in carry bag

...Me and my boyfriend went away alot camping, we'd had a few tents but once we got the dog we wanted more space. So we sold our old tent and hunted for another. We decided on the Utah 4 + 4 because of the size. It is around £230 in shops but we managed to get one that had been on show off ebay for £160. We recieved the tent and put it up in my parents back garden. It was huge, there was so much space inside and plenty of windows to let light in. There was even a window at the top of the tent!! You could stand up everywhere in the tent which was brilliant. We actually went camping in it one weekend, we pulled upto the campsite and suddenly realised you had to carry the tent to wherever you camped (everywhere we'd been in the past you could park next to your pitch!!). We were pitched across the first field and down a hill... Read review

Advantages: Good size, Weather Proof, Easy to put up
Disadvantages: Not sure enough space for whole family on a long camping trip

...Me and my boyfriend got this tent for our weeks camping trip in north wales. The tent was extremely well priced, i guess because time was taken to shop around for the best price. It was just over £80 which i thought was excellent for the product you get. The tent comes in a 3 -in-1 carry bag, with the two inner bits in one compartment, the outer tent in another compartment and the pegs, poles and repair kit in the little on in the middle. (I thought the fact that it came with a small repair kit was quite good!) When the tent is in it's carry bag it is easy to carry and not particularly heavy. Previous to our camping trip i got all the bits of the tent out and had a read of the assembly instructions. I just wanted to make sure i knew where all the poles went as the inner 4 person bedroom had to go first and i wanted... Read review
