Celebrating 30 years of Outwell tents

The unique part is at the back, where there’s a side access to an enclosed porch area, perfect for storage or for sitting out under cover. The two-berth inner alongside it has a window which lets you enjoy the view from your bed, or it can be removed altogether to create more living space.

Don’t let the £2,000 RRP put you off, as this could well be your ‘forever tent’. While some cheap models might provide three or four years of regular use at best, the Virginia has the potential to keep going until the kids have decided they no longer want to go on holiday with mum and dad.

And, if you’ve looked after it properly, because it is relatively compact, you could still enjoy years more use of it as a couple. So maybe that £2,000 price tag doesn’t seem so expensive after all.

Both versions follow the proven Montana design, featuring a side porch for a sheltered entrance, a fully sewn-in groundsheet and a sloping front.

 It is compatible with the Outwell Nightlight System and is made with premium materials, including the 6,000mm hydrostatic head flysheet, made from Outtex 6000 Express RS ripstop fabric. 

The four-berth is a brilliant tent for small families or couples, packed with trademark Outwell features inside and out

There is standing room throughout, darkened bedrooms to keep out the morning light and a living area that’s spacious enough for a couple of chairs and a dining table. 

Highly commended in the Weekend Tent category in the Out & About Live Camping Awards, the San Antonio 2 is one of 10 new tents in the Deluxe Air collection aimed at experienced family campers looking for practical and uncomplicated features. 

Key features include Outtex 4000 Select fabric with PFC-free water repellent treatment, good ventilation, fibreglass front poles and TPU DuraAir tubes instead of PVC.
