Hello
I am thinking about starting to go camping for holidays and I am new to
it.
I have done a little bit of camping before but that was quite a few years
ago.
I was wondering if the Vango Banshee 200 would be a good tent to use as
that is around my price range.

I wont be going anywhere just yet as I will have to save up first so
mostly likely be looking to go either side of the school summer holiday.

I would more likely to be walking / getting the train to the area.

The banshee is an excellent tent, but it suffers from issues due to its
shape. Similarly to the Zephyros 2 and Laser Comp tents, it isn't free
standing (guylines need to be pegged out for the tent to stand
properly). This makes it much more hassle to shift the tent to
somewhere with better ground if you find a lump or a slope.
Also, all the height is above your waist, where you don't need it. I'd
recommend the Vango Mirage 200 instead. It's freestanding once the
poles are in so its easy to just get inside and lay down, then shift it
a few feet if it isnt comfortable. Its semi geodesic so much more
stable with its back to the wind. Also theres loads of room at the door
and a generous porch.
