Slinging an old tent and a few changes of t-shirt in the back of car might seem like a good idea at the time, but once you get to base camp and realise you’re dealing with a tent with no poles, lumpy hard ground and very wet weather, it can be a very different story.

BreakOutdoors has some incredible tent package deals that will turn your damp, cold weekend, into a stress- free, comfortable event that’s all about the music.

Camping with a group of friends or family can become more expensive than anticipated, especially when you start adding up the equipment you’ll need: from your tent, to a groundsheet, to a decent seating area, not to mention cooking equipment, sleeping accessories and kitchen stands. By taking advantage of a package deal you not only make a massive saving but also take the hassle out of buying your equipment.

The Right Tent

The Gelert Horizon package deals are available for  families of up to 6 and even a group of 8. The Gelert Horizon 600 and the Gelert Horizon 800 tents offer excellent standing and living space, making family trips even more comfortable. The Horizon 8 has the added benefit of a removable bedroom, allowing even more flexibility and additional living space where required. With large living room windows and a fully sewn-in groundsheet, the Gelert Horizon guarantees comfort and convenience for any family trip.

The Essential Extras

Once you’ve got your canvas home sorted, the  essential extras can all make all the difference to your family’s comfort. The footprint and carpet increase warmth and protection from the elements within the tent and also ensure your family’s comfort throughout your trip. The polyester fleece of the carpet guarantees comfort under the foot, has a non-slip backing and is also easy to keep clean.

Extending your outdoor living space can be done through the use of the Gelert Horizon porch, this allows you to sit out in nice weather and even on those chillier evenings. The Horizon porch has a fully removable front panel door and a waterproof coating ensuring it is suitable for all weathers and can be used as additional storage space or a covered seating area for those rainy days.

The Savings

The Gelert Horizon 6 & 8 packages have been put together by BreakOutdoors to ensure your family are fully equipped for the summer at a fraction of the usual price. With savings of £190 on the Horizon 6 and £210 on the Horizon 8 package, purchasing one of these deals is the perfect start to your summer of family camping fun.
