Vango Carron 500 Tent 2022

Product Information

Vango’s Carron tent is all about combining a large sleeping space with a tent you are able to stand up in. The Carron is available in two sizes (400 & 500) and is ideal for small families, couples, friends for weekend camps and festivals. In some ways the Carron is a larger version of the Vango Tay just with more space throughout the tent. As the tent is pitched as one, (flysheet & inner) it can be pitched within 10 minutes by one person thanks to the colour coded poles which make it clear what goes where (as seen from our Attwoolls Pitching Video). The Carron has Vango’s Nightfall Bedrooms which are queen sized to offer plenty of space and create a nice dark sleeping environment. Bedroom pockets can also be found in the inner to help declutter the area and give a perfect storage spot for keys, phones and torches alike.

The front door of the Vango Carron can be made into a canopy by purchasing some extra king poles. This allows you to increase your space away from the rain and protects the inside from getting wet. Small PVC window panels allow visibility out onto the campsite and curtains can be toggled into position to give privacy as and when needed. A hanging point for a lantern is at the centre of the tent along with mesh vents to increase airflow and reduce condensation. A linked in groundsheet comes supplied with the tent and can be easily rolled back to expose the grass beneath. High visibility guylines give stability to the tent while also being easy to see in the hope people don’t trip over them.

The front section of the Carron is perfect for storing your equipment in so that it doesn’t join you in the bedroom section. This same area has just enough room to sit a couple of chairs in for when you want to relax on an evening. The Vango Carron offers a good amount of space without breaking the bank.
