I want to continue my love affair with camping despite now being a single parent.

Haven't bought a new tent for years and am now in need of some advice.

Requirements:

big enough for 2 (just in case a friend joins us) adults and 1 (rapidly growing) child
easy to erect by me single handed!
some sort of porch area as i do have cooking kit
lightweight
not too expensive

can anyone help me find this holy grail?

loving that bell tent, not to mention the "lifestyle" as offered on the website.

unfortunately a bit out of my price range!

Lichfield looks good tho.

thanks ladies.
