Eurohike Avon 3 DLX Nightfall Tent - The BEST budget 3 person tent!

This is my review of the Eurohike Avon 3 DLX Nightfall Tent. This is a fantastic budget 3 person tent with full blackout in the bedroom. This cheap 3 person tent can be found for as little as £80. That is a lot of three person tent for your money. This camping tent is found at Go Outdoors, Blacks and Millets.

Every time I see a "3-person family-camping" tent, all I can think of is, "what a nice, roomy 1-person-only tent!" 😂

I purchased this tent too take to Cornwall. Just got back from there yesterday. The tent stood upto heavy rain for 18 hours a week ago, then the last 2 days wind with 50 mph gusts and driving rain no leaks at all in the bedroom area and only a slight leakage by the side entrance, nothing significant and as you can pull the groundsheet away from there anyway it doesnt't matter. Two nights temperature went down to 2 degrees the temperature difference between the bedroom and vestibule was massive. No condensation at all in the bedroom but quite a lot in the vestibule. Got a shower climbing out lol. Only to be expected I suppose, the important bit is that the bedroom stays bone dry and it did. I wish that the zips were better as they do feel flimsy and that the poles are a right pain to slide in but they are easier to get out if pushed and not pulled as I found out. All in all I am very pleased, I know that my Tipi tent would not have taken the punishment that this tent did. My little Frenchie was happy in it too lol. I would recommend this tent..Oh and the bedroom area is big, you really could sleep 3 and the vesibule will take a chair, a small table and a camping stove no problem. The side entrance is a bonus too as when it is pouring down opening that doesnt let as much water pour in off the fabric.. I should add that I used none of the pegs it came with. I used the big yellow plastic ones they work a lot better.

Got mine for £60, but it was the non- blackout version, which I prefer. A bit fiddly to put up, but a great versatile tent when you get used to it. The best bit is the massive porch area for storing kit and food etc. Then the porch door can be opened up for sitting under - (extra poles required), for sitting out when the weather is fine.

I got this in the January sales for 59 quid at Millets.
In fact, at that price. I bought one for my nephew as well as we go motorcycle camping together.
Heavy tent, but fine on the motorbikes.

Great review, thanks! Also worth saying having the side door is WAY better in the rain as opening a wet front door ( only option on the slightly smaller Cairns DLX ) gets a load of water into the porch. Also this happens with dew. The Cairns front door also leaks at the zip junction whearas the Avon has a storm flap to stop that happening!

Hi there, on the strength of this review I bought the Avon 3 £70 from Go Outdoors yesterday and put it up today. It was a fair bit more complicated than my previous festival 2 man tent, but me and the two grandkids (6 and 4) eventually got it done in a couple of hours. Am sure next time will be faster. One of the dome poles had got stuck and i needed to release both poles to loosen the tension to figure out where it was stuck. Single handed in a force 10 gale, never gonna happen. Next time also will fiddle about with pegging out. All of us were tired by this point and just wanted to get in it and play. The bedroom area is HUGER than I expected by a mile, really impressed by thstat. The three of us were virtually snow angelling and had plenty of space. The porch smaller than i had thought but excellent for storage. My main disappointment was that neither door has a mesh option. I would have preferred at least one to have it. So all in all 8/10 looking forward to getting out to use it both in my own and with the kids. ❤️

Great review, I'm thinking of buying this to use for myself on campsite breaks. The clincher question is - is there headroom to sit in a chair and have a small table in the vestibule area if the tent? Any help would be much appreciated 🙂👍🏻

Picked one of these up purely as a last minute trip smaller tent. We have a huge 6 man tent and extension for the longer trips but the wedge shape tents I have of various capacity all made my other half feel claustrophobic (cloth coffins she calls them) so I needed something with a bit more room. For the money you can't go wrong. I'm not new to camping so I will closely inspect seams and seal if required though it's looking alright to me on first glance. Time will tell but I'm happy. It's the green version too so I little more appealing to the eye.

[stevenvater]

Its a really good tent with lots of good features . Lots of room, the only criticism is if it were a bit taller i wouldnt have to bend so much

[seancarritt]

Thanks so so so much for this review as I’ve just bought one.

[LColUK]

Lots of people saying this is a waterproof tent but I bought one specifically for a 4 day festival and one the 1 day it rained the porch area roof leaked like a sieve - not condensation, you could see the water soaking through the fabric and dripping on the floor. The bedroom dome was bone dry however, so I can only assume quality assurance isn't great and the porch area on mine was not properly waterproofed. Otherwise a solid tent, so maybe give it a re-waterproofing before you use it if you buy one.

[littlemisskate]

Thank you for such a great review. I have looked on go outdoor and they are selling them for about £80 but on their website the reviews are not so good so I’m hoping that you will tell me a wonderful this is.

[spenceoutdoorsscotland]

Got one of these last year in green from go outdoors for something like £60 great tent if your not walk far from your car. The black out is great for the bright nights/mornings

[geminirhythmspirit]

after a massive amount of resurch I keep coming back to this tent, I've decided to get it, oh and chips are no longer cheep

[markswishereatsstuff]

Really red in there. You can develop film in there!

[Ineedahandle]

People often either laugh or turn their noses up at the Eurohike brand but honestly I can't fault their gear. I especially like some of their older rucksacks the quality was on a par with Berghaus.

[mc-glrx]

Their Carins 4 dlx is a very similar tent with a bit more room and height which is a handy size upgrade if needed.

[TreforestGump]

I just used mine this weekend, easy to set up, I was in it alone so lots of room. This morning lots of dew, brushed the inside of the porch and it started dripping. Not sure if it condensation inside or outside, however it did make me concerned it wasn't fully waterproof. Saying that, I was on top of a mountain and I was impressed with it in a breeze.

[lufbrex]

looks a great tent at a great price, I got the eurohike sendero 4 person tent and the only gripe I had is theres no bug net on the main door (like this one) so you have a choice.... red hot tent in summer or a cooler tent full of winged beasts!!

[EwanBrooks]

Went to buy one for 70 quid and took it to the till with other items, she didn't scan it and when I walked out the store and saw the receipt I was well chuffed...Shhh free tent!
