It is big, it is beautiful and it is easy to pitch. The Kampa Hayling 6 tent is the perfect solution for your weekend camping trips. It is spacious and can accommodate a family of five quite comfortably. When you use airbeds, the space does get a bit cramped and is more suited for four; but by relaxing on the comfort level and using sleeping mats instead of airbeds even six people can be accommodated albeit a little too cozily.

There are four large windows that ensure that there is plenty of light and ventilation in the tent. The mesh on the side door allows you to keep it open all the time while it prevents creepy crawlies and bugs from entering your space. An advantage that the Hayling has is that the front door can be zipped all through thereby leaving no lip for toddlers to trip or inconveniencing a wheel chair’s movement in and out. And the best part is the built in porch which allows you to cook comfortably whether it rains or shines.

The tent can be divided into two sleeping quarters and a living area to which a porch is attached. You can also remove the dividers and have one large living room.

• Canopy: The canopy in the front is the biggest attraction of this tent as it provides you a chance to be with nature but protected as you cook or just lounge.

Cons:

• Absence of mesh for front door: Along with the welcome breeze unwelcome bugs too make their way into your tent when you keep the front door open. The absence of mesh is sorely felt.
• No insulation: The polyester fabric is not known for its insulation properties; hence the tent will get too hot or too cold depending on the weather.
• Front door doesn’t close fully: There is a gap between the door and the groundsheet allowing bugs to enter and even toddlers to easily go under it and out.
