Festival season is officially underway, and shoppers looking for an affordable camping upgrade are snapping up a discounted tent that one buyer says has 'survived two Leeds festivals so far'. Reduced to £42.49 from £49.99, the Trail Bracken Tent with Porch is now available from Amazon in a limited-time deal.
Why This Tent Stands Out
While many budget tents struggle to withstand unpredictable British weather, reviewers have praised this model for offering a balance of portability, practicality and weather protection without costing a fortune. The 'lightweight' tent has been designed with festivals and short camping trips in mind.
Weighing 3kg when packed away, it's easy to carry from the car to the campsite, while an oversized storage bag helps make packing up less of a chore after a trip outdoors. Unlike many compact tents, it features a dedicated front porch area, giving campers extra space to store muddy boots, backpacks and festival essentials without cluttering up the sleeping area.
Key Features
- Dark Zone Bedroom technology blocks up to 70% more light than previous models, helping create a darker sleeping environment and keeping the tent cooler.
- Double-skin construction with a 190T polyester flysheet, breathable inner layer and taped seams.
- Hydrostatic head rating of 3,000mm to withstand light showers and heavier downpours.
- Easy to pitch using three fibreglass poles, pre-attached hi-vis guy lines, steel pegs and instructions.
- Measures approximately 300cm long, 140cm wide and 110cm high when assembled, offering space for two people.
What Customers Are Saying
The tent has received a 4.1 out of five-star rating on Amazon. One person said: "Great tent, survived two Leeds festivals so far (including last year's very windy one). I did buy extra-strong tent pegs to go with it just to be sure. Roomy, love the dark bedroom - keeps it cool. Easy to put up, not too heavy to carry, good value for money!"
Another added: "Excellent little tent. Very good for the price and much better than other similar products. We have used it a lot over a period of time in terrible weather and it has not leaked. It also packs down really quite small."
One shopper removed a star, however, noting: "Porch area is a little small if you're stuck inside from the rain and you'll need an extra groundsheet for this area. Sadly not suitable for setting up in the rain as the inside of the tent goes up first and becomes very wet!"
In contrast, another five-star review reads: "I took this tent with me to Download Festival 2025 and I am so, so, so impressed with this tent. Really, really good quality for price and kept me dry as a bone the entire time. The tent is a little too small even though it's a two man, I'd likely get a bigger one for this year, however this brand I would recommend!"
