Review:
Wow! What can I say!?? This tent is absolutely COOOL!!! We’ve just tested it and I’m buzzing about it!
We put it up in the back garden and first go, without putting down the ground sheet and the guy ropes, we did it in about 5 minutes! We hadn’t read the instructions or watched the video either, it was really really easy.
Once up my-oh-my is it roomy! Somebody of 5′ 10 can stand in the central area without having to duck their head! It’s absolutely amazing! The bedroom areas (there are two, one each side) are easily big enough for a double blow-up bed!
Putting the tent down was a little more tricky however. We did need to watch the video online to get the idea of it and now that we’ve done it once we won’t struggle again.
We didn’t even argue whilst putting it up, or putting it down! Can’t be bad! hehehe
Everything is included in this tent to get it up and ready to go: a ground sheet, tent pegs, all the ropes already attached – brilliant!
We are gagging to go camping and try it out. I wouldn’t say I’m a ‘camper’ but this is very luxurious and I reckon even I would give it a go!
If you’re a regular camper or feel like trying something new, buy one of these, you will not be disappointed!

Short Title: Popping fantastic!
Review:
I love this tent! As a camping family we enjoy the the fresh air and freedom that camping brings, but I do dread the putting up and down of the tent. I always find fiddling about with the rods a worry and having to take care not to puncture the fabric.
Well with with this tent that worry disappears. The round holdal style tent is very well made, it is easy to unzip and carry with a back pack style strapping that is brilliant.
We removed the tent from the holdal and it is “rolled” into a small circle. At first glance you do wonder about the size, especially when you get the ground sheet out and look at the tent, it is hard to believe that it will be big enough for 4 adults.
We unclipped the straps and following very clear instructions we unfolded and popped up a very beautiful ready made tent. I loved it straight away, it was so easy and if it was raining (which if you camp in England it could well do) you would have cover really quickly.
The fabric and zips are of high quality and you have to zip parts of the tent up to give it a solid feel. You have to unzip in the same way to pack away so make a mental note of which zips were undone, it helps with packing away.
The bedrooms can easily take a double blow up mattress and have space to store clothing.
The internal and external doors have pockets to store the doors out of the way when you want them open – a lovely feature, as doors always get in the way.
You can stand up in the centre of the tent easily. My husband is 6ft and he had no problem moving around in the tent.
We were very proud to have such a great tent and one that popped up so quickly.
Putting away was a little more tricky! We did remember to unzip the relevant areas correctly and it took two adults 3 attempts to get the folding correctly. The instructions are good and you have to read them, which we did, but we had in our minds that it was like the putting away the children’s little pop up tents, which it does, but obviously you have a lot more tent to work with. Which is why it took us 3 attempts, next time it would be folded straight away.
Once we realised how to fold the tent it was very easy and quick. We event got it back into the holdal and it fitted, we could even got the ground sheet back in! The tent pegs are included, but although strong enough to hold in good weather, from experience we would add our more hefty tent pegs to hold the tent down.
Overall we loved the tent, it was great fun to put up, and I can’t believe I am saying that! I would definitely recommend this tent to a family starting out in camping. It is compact, not that heavy and easy to put up. If you have young children you will quickly find you have a home for the camping holiday.
If you are visiting a Festival this summer then this would work brillantly as you can easily carry this over muddy fields on your back.
We plan to use our pop up tent at sporting events as well when we need a quick shelter from the rain and to keep things dry during wetter days.
A must for camping and days out when you need shelter from the elements – great quality fun!
