One of our favorite sites, Town Farm Camping in Ivinghoe has rentable Karsten 350 tents for you to hire for your stay.  Located at the base of the Ivinghoe beacon, this site is fabulous for families with good facilities and a lovely play area; not to mention it's proximity to Whipsnade Zoo  and lovely walks to the local village and pubs! The nearest train line is a few miles away in Tring, so the City of London is easily accessible. The views from the site are spectacular so if you want to try a Karsten tent before you buy, why not book a stay with them.

Having just finished the display and been away from the children for two week, I naturally said 'What would you like to do this weekend?' their joint response - GO CAMPING! As it happens, it turned out really useful as I needed to see the Karsten rental tents that Town Farm Camp Site have, so it was a great excuse to take the new ESVO Bedouin 340 for a test run... there will be a review on that tent coming soon. We arrived just after lunch to glorious sunshine and managed to pitch the tent solely with everything sorted, camp kitchens and beds etc... in under an hour from arrival. The children spent the afternoon playing on the campsite and settled down for home made chill supplemented by a campsite pizza cooked on-site by the travelling pizzeria. It was awesome.... After a fantastic sunset we settled down and slept really well.  Unfortunately the tent had to come down wet, but as it was so easy to  pitch  I don't mind re-pitching when we arrive home. ...

Our returning trips to Town Farm Campsite set at the base of the Ivinghoe Beacon, but at the same time overlooking the Vale of Aylesbury seem to be enhanced every time. Apart from the stunning 360° panoramic views, the rustic offerings of the working farm mix seemlessly with campers. The friendly and enthuastic owner Charles ensures that your needs are catered for from arrival to offering fire pits of a evening and delivering wood to your pitch. On-site chickens ensure fresh eggs in the morning. This is a relative new site, and as such facilities are always being improved. At first the toilets and showers, spotlessly clean and warm. Currently the older play equipment is being upgraded to ensure the young ones are more than catered for. There is plenty to do in the local area including the Grand Union Cannal , but having a young family - it's great when a site has good play equipment. The site has public footpaths all around. One of the main ones leaves the site and head...

February took the Karsten Tent display to Town Farm Camping in Ivinghoe. This site is run by Charles who has a great attitude towards campers and camping. The working farm has fantastic views in all directions with good facilities that keep on improving. As I had booked this during the half term, I had to engage help from a good friend....for his first time in erecting these, we had all eight Karsten's up in 3 hours. It was a good weekend for us as it was also preparation for the British Leisure Show in March. One of our visitors was Alan Taylor of the Ultima Carp Fishing Team who decieded that the Karsten Carp 240 Tent was the one for him...... Hopefully he should be using it by the end of March.
