Just added some new pop up tents from Marks and Spencers in the 2 man pop up tent section. Nice, cute and colourful available to buy online. As soon as new pop up tents come onto the market I’ll be sure to let you know here. My Vango 300 DS (double skinned) is on it’s way for me ready for for the festival season to begin, first start Brighton Pride camping!

Your pop up tent isn’t going to cost a fortune so be pleased about that, they are very well priced. The pop up tents you find on this site are all of the same high quality it’s just up to you to decide what size you want and also what colour scheme. The smaller pop up tents – two man ones are simply for one person with a bit of room or two if you have a freind or partner to share with. Generaly I’d suggest buying a larger pop up tent than the one you actually need. This is so you can have 1) more space in the tent 2) you may get friendly with a new person 3) someone will have brought down a convential tent, they won’t be able to get it up – maybe because its at night, or maybe because they’ve had too much wine or similar. You will save the day and allow them to sleep in your tent.

Advice on choosing a location. Make sure you have enough free hands to carry your pop up tent, most will sit on your back like a little rucksack. Also make sure you bring everything you need with you. Write a checklist down and then tick it off (preferably with another person before you leave for your camping. Once the car is parked securely, take everything an venture off to the allowed camping areas.

Find a space that is flat, not below a tree, a good distance away from other campers. Also reserve pop up tent space for more of your campers if they are arriving at a later time. It’s an idea to be in line to something easy to spot. Don’t set up on a ledge, you will probably fall down it after a few beers. Also make sure the toilets aren’t miles away or be within distance of some nice bushes (hope you have toilet roll). The instructions in the tent are really easy to understand. Once you have decided that this location will be a good one, no obvious dangers like hanging branches around then simply pop up and go!  Finally make sure the tent is stable and that everything fits together, nothing seems odd about it. Other tenters will be most jeleous when they see how quickly you get started! Crack open a beer, sit down and relax, you have done well. Next go investigate the camping ground to see if there are showering facilietes, places to eat etc.
