I need a new tent for car camping. I tried my back packing tent but it wasn't much fun, there was no room.
So, I need a 3 man with a porch to actually stand up/get dressed in.

Budget is frugal north of £100 won't be winter camping so no need for ££££s

Any recommendations?

Car camping tents are very cheap, think we paid £70 for a three room Coleman tent, two double beds and a living room.

Merak,

If your in the Surrey area, I have a Coleman Tent sitting in my garage that matches your requirements perfectly.

Free, if you want it.

We were looking for a new tent for the Twentyfour12 this year and I stumbled upon a Dutch website called Obelink, which seems like a Go Outdoors equivalent...

We bought the Lugano 6 Plus and have been very impressed with the quality of it, so far. It only cost us £150.

Not suggesting you get that tent as it's a monster, but they've got some decent looking options...

Obelink 3 man dome

Have a look at Decathlon, some good tents on there. I picked up a proper four man (2x double bed) tent with a decent middle bit i can stand up and move around in (i'm 6ft) for silly cheap money last year.
