North Gear Camping Deluxe Waterproof 8 Man Tent

Stayed in this for 5 nights on the Isle of Man. 3 blokes, a bedroom each with an airbed and suitcase in, plenty of space. Rained a few times did not leak, wet with dew each morning, no probs. No instructions but was easy to put up, two cross poles make the dome, 3 additional poles for the bedroom spaces, peg out, hang the bedrooms and attach guy ropes: took maybe 30 mins. It's not a luxury high quality item (hence the price). We left it there to be donated to charity and about to buy it again for next year as did the job perfectly. Buy a 7 x 7 ft piece of tarp for £5 if you want a ground sheet for the middle. You can stand up in the very middle of this tent if you are 6ft. 12kg in it's carry bag and will fit inside a (very) large suit case with just about enough room for a weeks clothes still.

I think its important to note this is a budget tent not really designed for hardy weather, allow me to elaborate:On the first night of our trip away the wind and rain picked up around 11pm and by about 4am- after fighting with the tent for an hour- the poles on the windward-side snapped like twigs. By 4.30am every sleeping bag in the now "tent" had absorbed enough water to end Californias drought problems for the next 50 years, and by 5am we were hiding in the safety of our vehicles feeling quite sheepish about our apparent naivety.This kind of tent is perfect for pitching on the Wimbledon Common on a starry July night (especially considering the price), but if you live anywhere north of the Lake District I'd probably go with something that wont cave in to 20mph gusts.

If there was an option for 0 stars it would have that. When putting up the seam all ripped. The guidelines are freying (first night using) the inner pods don't fit the tent properly. And it's not very waterproof. Will be sending this disappointment back! The tent has ruined what was supposed to be a brilliant first camping trip for the kids.

Very disappointed in quality as one annex has been machined wrong so the inner tent doesn't fit and due to this you cannot peg it down correctly. Eleastic guy straps snapped and ripped off of canvas. No response from seller after complaining. Poor customer service

Used once then had to throw away as corner tab tore nearly off. Very tight getting a the poles in. Did the job but if you are looking for a tent that lasts, this is not for you.

Took my 3 children camping this weekend with my mum, a pole snapped and had to be repaired. Our first time camping with this brand new tent was marred, but a simple email to customer services and they have replaced our tent. Looking forward to our next camping trip and would recommend buying from here .

We are a family of two adults, one 13yr old and a 4 and 2yr old and this tent serves it purpose, enough room to sleep, basic, a tent is a tent to us so if you're wanting more rooms for lounging at daytime then extras like a gazibo and a mat/ground sheet for the middle front of tent is needed. Easy to assemble needing two people.

Collapsed after one night stay, we had to make do for rest of our 3 night camping trip. One bedroom was okay and the other two had completely ripped which caused the poles to come out and collapse
