Types of Vango Tents
Vango AirBeam Tents
Vango’s AirBeam inflatable tents replace poles with robust air-filled beams, allowing for fast pitching and excellent stability. The AirBeam system means most models can be ready to camp in minutes, making them ideal for families and those who prefer an easy setup.

Vango Poled Tents
For campers who prefer traditional construction, Vango Poled Tents use fibreglass or steel poles to create a strong and reliable frame. They’re often lighter and more affordable than inflatable tents, while still offering Vango’s proven weather protection.
Vango Family Tents
Designed for comfort and space, Vango Family Tents provide multiple sleeping areas, generous living space, and excellent ventilation. Perfect for groups or families, they combine ease of use with long-lasting materials.
