1. Coleman octagon tent £257.80 Get yours here https://amzn.to/3ZprrG6

The Coleman octagon has become a firm favourite of campers due to its strong construction. The octagon has a super strong colour coded pole construction.

The advantage of this tent is that it does have some excellent features such as the large front door and windows all round for a 360 view of your pitch. what we didn't like about the Coleman Octagon is that there aren't separate sleeping pods meaning it lacks privacy.
