Answer
Coleman tents are excellent value. I have three of them and they have all been brilliant.
You can find them in all outdoor or camping shops or buy online.
They do big family tents and backpacker tents and guarantee the waterproofing. I've never had a single problem with them in years of camping in very wet British weather and on the Alps and Andes and all over Europe.
Coleman is an American company with a world-wide presence, and has a large range of outdoor equipment in it's product list. For value for money Coleman is hard to beat.

Other very good firms to consider are Vango and Lichfield, both in the same group of companies which includes Trangia cooking equipment, and both very well established and highly respected.
Both do family tents and backpacker tents, both are British companies, and both have a very good reputation for quality.
Vango Force Ten tents are favourites on Everest. Vango gets involved with outdoor stuff and is a very good supporter of outdoor events.
My little mountain tent is a Vango and is excellent.
Lichfield isn't as well known but keeps on turning out good tents year after year. It's a solid and reliable company. I have one over thirty years old, bought for a £1. I reproofed it and it does a treat. Lovely tent.
A bit like Rayleigh Roadster bikes really. Not the flashiest around but a good standard bike.
Horace Dall got one across Iceland...the first man to do it on foot and bike right across the middle of Iceland from the south coast to the north. 1933. The bike was still running well forty years later. Horace lived near me in Luton. I learned my first bit of telescope making from him.
He didn't have a tent for the Iceland trip.
Tough guy, Horace.

First camping trip, please help :)?
nicola0102
Hi, i am planning a camping trip in the summer for my family. We are wanting to camp in a tent at a campsite and bring our own BBQ.
Now, this will be my first actual camping trip, as we usually go abroad, but as money is so tight at the moment we decided to holiday in the UK.
We will be taking our car, but obviously we will not want to store all our belongings in the tent for the whole week.
Are there locks for tents, so no one can steal our clothes whilst we are out during the day?
If anyone has any tips for camping with a young family can you tell me :)
thanks
Answer
I wouldn't waste your time locking the tent. First off I have never had anything stolen from my tent and none of my friends or family ever had anything stolen when camping.
The lock will just catch a persons attention, if you lock it they know there is something in there of value and will just cut through the tent to get to it, it wont deter them at all. A ripped tent isn't worth putting a lock on the tent to save your clothes, unless there is a homeless man looking for clothes I don't think you will be bothered. Just keep your tent zipped shut. If you are that worried about it have someone in the campsite at all times.
As for the young kids keep it interesting and fun for them but don't push them too hard or long if you decide to go for a hike. Let them play in the ponds, catch frogs/turtles/ salamanders, let them run through puddles, play in the rain; all stuff they normally cant do when they are home.Let them be kids. Get them interested in fishing if there is a lake or river near by. Go on a nature hike and try to spot animals. Have them build the campfire, stacking wood and such so you can light it, let them feel they had a part in creating that. Teach them how to start a fire. Let them pee behind trees. Just let them be kids and they`ll have a blast.
