Wynnster Prairie 3

Advantages: spacious family tent
Disadvantages: fits 6 easily, 8 would be uncomfortable

...When my husband first suggested camping, I suggested a divorce, but I was amazed at just how much I enjoyed it. Of course it does help if you've got the weather, but also perhaps most importantly a tent like this really helps. The Wynnster Cambrian tent, is a real good family tent, When stating how many people tents will hold, I personally think these are a bit over the top if you want to be comfortable, If you've got a family with 2 or 3 kids, I would suggest a tent such as this 8 man tent, as the extra space is a good advantage. Standing height in the main living area is 210cm, which is ample room for the average person. Its weight is 25.65 Kilo so is quite a weighty item, and definatliey not one for the average backpacker, But I found fits comfortly in the boot of the car, after all it is a Family tent. This is a dome design tent... Read review

Living in it As you can imagine, a tent this size is pretty comfortable for a normal size family. With table and chairs, everyone can sit down in comfort and still leave a kitchen area. If you had the number of people in it Wynnster says it can hold, then it would get a little cramped around a table. Most tent manufacturers are a little optimistic about the number of people a tent can accomodate and this is no different. However, 6 or 7 people should be OK. The three of us and a dog can spread out in glorious comfort, though. Like any other tent, it can get cold at night and pretty warm in direct sunlight. The ventilation the tent has works well, but it does need to be fully open... Read review

Disadvantages: Could be more ventilation

.../awning, depending where the wind is blowing from etc. Having opening vents with fly nets in the doors would be a good idea, to prevent you having to part-open other doors to gain a draught on a hot day. The four of us found this a good size - plenty of space for safe cooking inside, chairs and table, etc. To be honest, 12 would be a tight squeeze unless everyone uses a rollmat rather than an airbed or camping bed. Judging by other pictures I've seen, Wynnster might have altered the design of this a little over its lifespan.... Read review
