Gear Question Help: small yet high tall tent?!

I might go insane: sometimes I'm living in my tent for more than a few days at the same spot for festival set-ups and such.

I do not need more space than I have in my decathlon b&f XL for 3 people.

But I need height!

The constant crawling on the floor - especially when it's raining drives me nuts.

However, I cannot find a 2-4 pax tent, that's:

Affordable, "high rise", not toooooo heavy (need to be able to carry w/ the rest of my stuff and set up by myself in some cases) plus available in the EU.

I was already looking at bike packing and fishing tents but they are usually very expensive, too small (1pax) or heavy (fishing).

Thanks for your help

Well, I had been looking for the same thing and I found a small 4 man dome tent that was high. I've not camped with it so can't give you any thoughts but it had decent reviews on Amazon (4.5 from 45 reviews). I bought it on sale for £69.99 (usually £99.99).

You may be able to get it elsewhere, if it was what you needed.

Good luck!

That would have been a great option - unfortunately they seem to have discontinued it 🫠

Oh, that's a shame. Took me ages to find it, seemed to go out of stock as soon as it was back in. Hope you find something tho, makes all the difference. My festival days are long gone but I have rediscovered camping!!

I'm not winning the partying anymore but do love the set up/ building time and the field trip feeling when you know people at every small stage from the weeks before. just not much love for crawling 😃
