"Love our Outdoor Revolution inflatable tent. Aldi are selling one of their tents atm online that I think is an extremely good price. They are so easy to put up but the bags are bigger than pole tents and you do have to roll on them to get every bit of the air out. Worth it though. " Just read the reviews on one of them and they didn't impress me, But thanks | |||

"Decathlon do decent air tents" I seen a few of them at the festival (QUECHUA) they look good but a lot of the reviews say they let in water | |||

"Decathlon do decent air tents" Their quechna range is exceptionally good for the price point. | |||

"I've spent a lot of my life from child hood under canvas. I must admit I hold inflatable tents with great suspicion. Ive had a good look at them in the show room (and came across a leaky one on show). Now maybe I'm a luddite and people will reassure me they're actually ok. But I like to get many years out of a tent. So the word that springs to mind is air beds. Experience shows me how susceptible air beds are to multiple little punctures. And even the smallest pin pick can see you collapsed come morning. Plus I worry about to much flex in the wind (I'd say you really need to get you guy ropes bang on). So call me Mr boring but I will stuck to a more traditional format, and would advise anyone the same." They do look like they move a lot in the wind but maybe they hadn't got the rope right and reading some reviews leaking seems to be a problem, I think if I do get one a mid to top end tent is a must to hopefully avoid them problems, It took us a few hours dropping the tents (I wasn't around to put them up) then transporting them back to the cars, It was a very long walk and after 3 days camping, (5 next year) I want to do it in a bit more comfort and less hassle | |||

I have a fairly basic but excellent value decathlon 3 man tent that let's 2 of us sleep with plenty of space. It is so quick to put up I really can't we why I'd have paid 100quid more for the inflatable version of the same tent? | |||

"To be fair although I've never camp at a festival from the impression I get I'd be reluctant to take a tent of any value." Although I imagine a lot of that depends on the nature of the festival and the people attending. | |||

"We got ours from Go outdoors. I think pretty much anything in there is ok and you get to walk about in them as they have them all up for you " "Try visiting go outdoors, they have a huge range set up in store starting from very affordable prices " I will go there when I get a chance, Like you both said the tents are set up for you | |||

"I went to download last week but was sleeping in a friends tent, It was a bit small but done the job, I seen some really nice tents there and I especially like the inflatable ones for the easy of putting them up and being light weight, I can't see me using it more then twice a year but looking to spend between £250-£400 Any recommendations, Pro's an con's 3 - 4 man mid range tent that I can stand up in, Yes I have looked at reviews but like to hear from people on here with camping experience " If you're only going to use it a couple of times a year, I would recommend you stick to the lower end of your budget. Normally I would suggest Vango as a great buy but have a look at Coleman. You'll get a good tent and some bang (if you're lucky!) for your buck. | |||
