At a festival the most important thing you need isn’t baked beans, a stove and a torch (although you should definitely take these things with you!)  No, the most important thing is YOUR TENT – the place you will temporarily call home.  Essentially you want your humble abode to be easy to erect and comfortable to sleep in, but let’s face it you also want to look good (even if you do live in a field!)  So here at My Festival Checklist we have scoured the web and sourced the easiest, the cheapest and the coolest in outdoor camping for you to select from.

Out of all the different brands you can’t go wrong with Gelert for festivals.  Here are the top five two person tents.  Stand out from the crowd with their cool retro and camouflage patterns.  All of this tents are Quick Pitch and pop up for you in seconds – just what you want for your festival experience!

Gelert Quick Pitch Single Skin 2 Person Tent

Doiiing! Release the elastic strap from this tent and it pops right up leaving you with just a couple of guy ropes to peg out.  Then you can lounge around your campfire, drink beer and openly laugh at others farcical attempts to erect their Dad’s old tent.

This tent sleeps two people, is stable in the wind and will keep you dry in most weathers.  The low price makes it a brilliant bargain and one that you can use again and again at festivals and fun trips away.  Intensely coloured in bright blue you’re not likely to lose track of this one at the campsite.  When you need to take the tent down, you just unhook the pegs and fold it into a convenient zip-up carry case.  Jobs a gooden.

Gelert Quick Pitch Single Skin 2 Person Tent

Another quick pitch tent from Gelert who have designed possibly the easiest tent in the world to erect.  Pull the elastic strap and hey presto you’ve got yourself a home for the weekend.  This one is particularly good-looking and resembles a giant duvet ready to tuck you up after a hard night of dancing to rock music.  The shape of the tent provides you with stability in winds and protection in most weathers.   It sleeps two, but you’ll probably have people fighting to have a look around your funky weekend shelter.  What more can you want?  Dry, stable, good-looking, low-maintenance and affordable – if only more people were like this Quick Pitch.

Gelert Quick Pitch Elite Tent 2 Person Camoflage

Look like your mean business on the festival fields this summer in this Camoflage Quick Pitch tent.  Lose absolutely no field-cred and pity all of those fools as you pitch your tent in under 15 seconds.  Strong, stable and fold-away when your finished, this one will keep you and one other friend dry in most weather conditions.  The only thing you’ll have to worry about is who is going to be BA Barackas and who is going to be The Face. Check out the really low-price too, this tent usually retails for £49.99 but here it is yours for £29.99.  So go on, bag a bargain before anyone else does!

Gelert Quick Pitch SS Compact 2 Man Pop Up Tent Liberty Rock

Last but not least is this beautiful freak – the two person pop-up tent called Liberty Rock.  Not only does it pop right up for you but it’s completely cuckoo with its floral design that comes straight out of the seventies.  It has pre-attached guy-lines and pitches in seconds keeping you dry, stable and out of the elements.  There is no chance of losing this one in the sea of other tents on the campsite, cheap as chips and mad as a box of hatters this is a tent fit for a family full of eccentrics.
