About this deal

This tent is also great in terms of accessories available to buy, including a wardrobe that is super easy to clip in and a good quality carpet. The tent itself is awesome, at 5.2m x 6m, there is a massive amount of space. It has a great hydrostatic head, the poles are easy, Mark pitched it mostly single handed, with a little help to hold it steady while he pegged it down, and we were pitching for the first time in the rain and it still wasn’t difficult (although with the dog barking like a loony, both of us soaking wet and being surrounded by camper vans that just pulled up and got the kettle on, at the time I swore I hated Mark, the tent and camping in general!) In fact, I would say it takes no longer to pitch than our Outwell Corvette, an airbeam which comes in two pieces. We’d normally use a porch awning to cook in but little chance of doing that here. It looks a lot bigger in the picture than it is in real life, the slope of the tent means the porch adds very little practical space.

Review: Higear Vanguard 8 Nightfall – Go Outdoors Editor’s Review: Higear Vanguard 8 Nightfall – Go Outdoors

We don’t bring it with the Corvette, because the porch area is fantastic but with this one, you’ll be putting any kitchen cupboards in the main tent through necessity not choice – something to bear in mind if there are 8 of you in the tent (maybe skip the wardrobe) If you want a big tent to hit the field, you won’t be disappointed with this one and in our experience, we’ve always found friendly, helpful staff at Go Outdoors, this is a great tent and well worth the money. Normally we use a spare bedroom for the loo, but it seemed a waste of such a lovely big space so we found a handy spot to the left of the wardrobe for that, instead using the spare bedroom to create a lovely little dark lounge space for our inflatable sofa, footrest and Outwell Kimberley side table. This meant there was a massive space in main living area of the tent, which on this occasion only held our table and chairs, however there’s easily enough space to keep a family entertained here. The tent is also really well ventilated. However, if it’s an airbeam you are after, or you have a bigger budget and are looking for an upgrade tent, we’d recommend heading to Damian at Newquay Camping, or the lovely Mike at Attwoolls, where you will, in our experience, get a wider choice, and still get fabulous service, a warm smile and plenty of help. What the two bedrooms lose in length, they certainly gain in width, though sleeping 4 in each may be tight.

There are a few things which are indicative of the bargain price, including cheap toggles on the curtains, an annoying front door which lets the rain pour in when opening if you don’t use the porch awning, and lastly, maybe the biggest bugbear for us, the bedrooms were too short to accommodate our large airbed, as you can see below, but honestly, don’t let that put you off, this is a lot of tent for your money – and in fact probably way too big for two, but hey, welcome to camping with the Bakers…..!
