Shilstone 6 Man Tent

Now used for 2 camping trips for a family of 5. Very easy to erect with 2 people. Good ventilation. Stands up well to wind and rain - no leaks. The bedrooms work well and the dividers can be removed easily - we have ours arranged with 1 4 person area and 1 2 person area. I'm 6'2"/188cm, and easily fit in the bedroom area. The tent is also very high, so I can stand up in all areas. The picture shows the bedroom at about 6pm in the evening in mid summer - it's not quite full blackout, but is very good, and the kids slept in every morning! Really great value overall - big brand quality for little brand price.

Great quality tent. Excellent value for money. Feels very big inside. Plenty of space in each of the 3 bedrooms, each one big enough for 2 single camping beds and the blackout material is great. We bought this tent as an upgrade, as it is slightly bigger, has a 3rd bedroom and has 5,000 mm hh which is one of the highest hh when looking on the market. Impressed with the quality, the blackout bedrooms are better. Our only snag would be that the front door doesn't fasten all the way round in a C shape. We understand why the tent has been made this way so that you can have no step over when entering the tent. We would have preferred the step over as we feel it could let bugs in. Easily solved with a bit of velcro which I am going to add in time for our first trip. I have added a video, but please bare in mind we haven't pegged the tent down properly and added all the guide ropes, as it was just to test the tent out in our garden.

I thought about purchasing this tent for some time and I'm so glad I eventually decided to buy it. I didn't have the time to practice putting it up before our first trip, so I was a bit worried when I turned up at the campsite, hoping it wasn't to busy and having all the other campers watching me wondering what on earth I was doing? I shouldn't have worried at all. Together with my grown-up daughter, we had the tent up first time ever, in 45 mins. It actually took us longer fitting the tent out with the beds etc. I had a 4 person 1 bedroom tent before this and you had to climb into the bedroom. Having 3 separate walk into bedrooms was a big step up. It's great that the bedrooms are blackout. The living room area is massive. Big enough for 4 grown-ups and one toddler, so that's 5 camping chairs. Then we had a picnic table and 4 stools and a foldable cabinet type thing were we stored our food and snacks in. All that, and you could still move about without tripping over anyone. The awning at the front is another super add on. We had our foldable kitchen out there and a small storage tent thing to put your shoes in. Even though it rained a few times, I could cook out in the awning and I didn't feel a bit of rain at all. Everything stayed dry. The only one down side was at the side door. If it was open and it started raining, because it is designed at a slight angle, the rain would get into the tent if you didn't close the door quickly. And when you do reach out to zip the door close, you are faced with a soaking from the top of the tent. Maybe a bit of a small canopy just over the door might have prevented this. I haven't knocked of a star because of that, as the good points to this tent definitely out way any bad points. This tent is certainly bigger than a tow caravan. Ok a caravan maybe more convenient, this tent has more room for sure. It wasn’t until I was taking the tent down and I took out the bedroom section, I really appreciated how big it really is. If a group of people wanted to go away and weren't fussed about the bedrooms, you could easily throw down a dozen sleeping bags and a dozen adults to sleep in it comfortably. Taking the tent down only took about half an hour. Great purchase and would definitely recommend it.

This is a brilliant tent. We are so pleased with it. We are a family of 6; with children aged 7,5,3 and 1. The bedrooms sleep 2 comfortably and the living space is fab. Excellent price, beautifully waterproof. Easy to put together. Very happy with this product.

Great family tent at a great price. Straight forward to pitch, took about 30mins on my own. Absolutely huge inside, enough for 4 adults with chairs, a decent sized table etc. Plenty of light in the living area. Bedrooms are blacked out so great for lie-ins. Standard pegs, so upgrade if on hard ground. Took a bit of a beating in strong winds and rain ok. Suitable for 4+ nights due to pitch/break time. Recommended.

Great tent, massive living area( 2seater sofa chair, single chair, kitchen/cooker stand and still loads of room) Sleeping compartment easily holds 2 double camp beds with the middle section free for a single bed. Took about 20min with two adults putting it up for the first time. Stood up well for 4days of wind and rain in the middle of the Cheviots. No water seeped in and totally dry. Great having a large porch area. Would give it 5stars but the cords holding the porch poles had snapped and made it awkward threading these in, although once in had no problems with them remaining in place. Pros: great family tent, bigger than it looks Con: pegs! Very thin and short. Ok for garden type lawn but for any ground that's slightly stony it's definitely worth getting some longer, heavy duty pegs to replace those that are supplied.

Brilliant tent, used 3 times since buying including in some really awful rain. Only down side is the tent pegs are a little bit on the flimsy side so bought ourselves some heavier duty tents ones. Sleeping area really large and black out fabric is great. The living area is massive and allowed us more than enough room in the bad weather without being on top of each other. Would highly recommend!

Bought this tent, says its waterproof, we had a water fight and the tent back stuck to the bedroom walls, bedrooms were wet. No middle guy ropes to stop this happening. Rubbish
