We rolled it up back into its bag – we did have one issue here with trapped air inside the tent but we realised we should have opened the doors first to make sure the air had chance to escape. Out came the pegs and then we had to locate the valves and turn them. So, when checking out time drew closer we sent the children off to the playground again…or more accurately they were already there!!…and decided to go for it. Something every campsite should have.īut there was a slight concern hanging over us. I also loved the Sunday morning arrival of the croissant lady. I loved how they kept the middle space clear for lots of games and there were constant kite flying, mass campsite football games, cricket matches and loads of tricycles and bicycles ready to be played on as well as a little playground. It’s a wonderful campsite and our children were all really happy to play with all the others at the playground.

The main space is really roomy too and we had a table and chairs in it without it feeling crowded.įor 6 foot 3 Mr Globalmouse he reveled in stories of tents at Glastonbury Festival which he had to crawl into…recounted as he stood without stooping in the tent – it is full standing height throughout. You can split the main bedroom into two if you like but we kept ours open as our children are quite young and wanted to see us. Every door has a mosquito net you can use and there are some great storage solutions around – like the places to hang your shoes through the doorway. For one there are air vents for hot days but if you don’t want to use them it is completely sealed making it really cosy for cooler nights. There are loads of things we loved about this tent. The last thing to do is to put in around 12 pegs around the tent and that is it. (I’ll do that next time, yes there will definitely be a next time). No poles, nothing extra to work out what goes where, simply lay it flat and pump it up and *ping* there it is!! In fact, it was so quick I didn’t get a single photo of it going up. I say almost embarrassing because actually we felt pretty smug! It was like a magic tent. It was almost embarrassing as we looked around at the other families, still working out which poles went where. And I promise I am not exaggerating, in less than 5 minutes our tent had literally popped up. Then you find the valves, there are 3 – one in the middle and one at either end…Īnd with the amazingly easy pump you get with the tent you pump it up with next to no effort. We started off by spreading it out on the ground. I should start by staying that even though this is a tent which sleeps 6 it comes neatly packed in almost a rucksack style bag – super compact and with wheels on one end so you can roll it, airport style, around. People scoffed slightly when we admitted we hadn’t yet given it a go…but Globalmouse is a busy travelling family and time rushed past us and before we knew it we were off…so when we got to the beautiful Somerset fields it was going to be make or break…humiliation or success!Īll around us families were putting up their tents in military formations – seasoned campers who each knew who had to stand where, and which pole needed to attach to which other pole…and on and on…it was a little intimidating!īut still, we were confident in our kit and out of the car it came. Of course we should have had a rehearsal of putting it up at home in the garden to test this out. Vango say, “Vango AirBeam® Technology creates strong and rigid tent structures with unrivalled speed and simplicity of pitching.” Which brings me to the Vango Airbeam Kinetic 600 tent and our trip to the absolutely wonderful Greenacres campsite near Glastonbury to review it.

Our children have wanted to camp for awhile and so this summer we decided to give it one more try…and wow. Scratch that…we WERE not a camping family.
