Does the thought of spending hours putting up a complicated tent put you off the thought of camping? We hear you.
Well, the good news is that pitching a tent doesn't have to be stressful. The best pop up tents take the fuss out of field work for a more relaxing start to any camping trip.
Perfect for beginners and outdoor enthusiasts alike, they're also more lightweight than a regular tent, which makes them great for backpacking and hiking too.
As well as being brilliant for no-hassle camping holidays, you can also use a pop up tent at the beach and picnics for a brilliant shelter against the sun, and they're also great for those times when the kids ask if they can go 'camping' in the garden.
We've rounded up the best pop up tents below so you can just pitch and go...
