Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Another simple but desperately effective tent. This model has been tried and tested for years and just keeps getting better. Boasting a built in porch groundsheet, porch window and ample living space, the Apache is also looking more mature with its refined colouring.

At first glance not a bad buy but zip to inner ten broke on first use. Proof that you get what you pay for!

My quick thoughts after first weekend away in a Litchfield Apache 3 tent, bought from Argos for £32.99.
Pros:
* Cheap and reasonable value for money for this much tent.
* Lightweight
* Reasonable accommodation for 2 adults plus kit, but too small for 3 (though that's a criticism of tent sizing generally).
* Easy both to pitch and to pack away.
Cons:
* Inner first pitching method (not good in bad weather)
* Fly sheet can rest against inner (leading to moisture transfer) unless pitched VERY carefully (difficult on uneven/sloping ground)
* General quality and finishing was shoddy in places
Overall:
OK in the fair weather we had, but I suspect would be difficult to keep dry inside in the wet. Not sure how well it would resist strong winds either. I pitched 5 or 6 other fly-sheet first, "pack tents" (from Vango & Outwell) which felt more substantial which I suspect both keep drier and would survive more pitch/pack cycles. However these cost well over twice what I paid, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Great tent have been away many times in this and always been fine in all conditions.Wind really howled on Slapton beach in devon and due to the shingle couldnt peg it out but still had a good night sleep.It is light enough to put in backpack and wild camp and the porch is nice and big.Easy and quick to put up.Never had any probs with zip but I treat it with respect and dont force it. For the price I dont see how you can go wrong.

Great tent at this price!
I have used this tent one or two night's that rained the whole night through, heavy! and at morning I and the inner tent was dry,
only complaint is that its more of a two man tent not a 3 man ....but this is always the case with tent descriptions. pitch it well and it will keep the rain out

Bought this tent 2 months ago and so far used once on festival. Very easy to assemble, normal size for 2 people, but not for 3. Standart double air bed fits perfectly. 5 pockets for storage and anti-mosquito net included :)
Would recommend for everyone who is looking for simple summer tent and do not want to overpay.

Great value for money, a lot bigger than a standard 2 man tent, very spacious. Great quality, easy to put up..... All in all very happy

I was really impressed by this tent- for the price it is outstanding. It stood up admirably to 70mph winds and rain on the scillies and didn't let any rain in at all. The bright guy lines are great as they make it impossible not to notice them. The only slight downsides are that it could do with a couple of extra pegs so that you can use all guy lines at the same time, and the elastics overstretched, but I think that was only because of the extreme weather I used it in.
I would definately recommend this tent- it packs down small and is nice and light too. The interior is nice and tall and the light coloured fabric means it is nice and bright. Plenty of useful pockets and a handy hook for your torch.

I was delighted to receive this product very quickly from Amazon. Unfortunately, the windows in the porch have no covers, allowing anyone to look into the porch and, if a light on in the sleeping area, into that also! As I needed the tent urgently and had no time to return it, I contacted Amazon who, rather than leaving me without a tent,refunded part of my payment. I then had to cover the windows. Other than that, I found this tent very easy to erect and take down, easy to pack back into its bag, roomy and suitable for my needs.
