Coleman Aspen 4 tent
The Aspen 4 is an easy to pitch, family tunnel tent, that offers comfortable and spacious accommodation on the campsite. Multiple entrances provide easier entry and exit in inclement conditions.
The tent's outer fabric is fire retardant and, for extra security, the zipper stoppers on the tent doors ensure that zips are always within easy reach in the event of an emergency, even for children.
Heavy rain is no match for the polyester flysheet which has a hydrostatic head of 4,000mm as well as fully taped seams. This, combined with the tough, integrated polyethylene groundsheet, ensures a dry and bug-free interior. The flysheet is also treated with Coleman’s UVGuard providing SPF 50 protection from the sun’s rays.
Additional features include barrier-free access to ensure easy movement in and out of the tent, extra-large bedrooms for a great night's sleep and convenient cable openings in the tent wall that allow easy accessibility to a power source.

We were just settling down to our barbecue at Blackmore in Malvern when this sailed by... We think they were after an invite!

This is our Opus in Llanrwst, north Wales, on a warm August night. It reminds us of simpler times sitting in a field with a warm glow from the canvas when the only worries were about what to eat, while enjoying a glass of red. We need to enjoy, treasure and appreciate nature and the joys of camping even more than before.

This is one of the top camping sites we have frequented since deciding to see more of Britain and the islands around it. What more can I say about the stunningly beautiful pitch at Kintra Farm on Islay, living the dream!
Jun 2021 winner: Ray Brooks

My wife was a camping newbie when we met five years ago… she now loves it more than I do and spends all her time planning our trips away. Last year I thought I'd surprise her with my new camping outfit and she said if I ever wear it again I will be camping in my own tent. I can't see the problem… I think I look great!

Camping has made our life so much more fun. Before lockdown we would often head off on a Saturday, just for the night, so even our weekends are now an adventure - and the hound adores it, too! So salute to many more camping adventures to come!
Feb 2021 winner: Gillian Thomas

The 'worst' bit of the weekend was being woken before 6am by our daughter and dog who reckoned we should all be up because it was light outside! One of the highlights was making pancakes for Sunday breakfast and eating them outside our tent with the sun shining in the sky. We're looking forward to lots more adventures in many more places. And, when we get around to upgrading our tent for something bigger and better, blackout bedrooms will be a must!
