The Vango Sierra 500 is a 5 man poled tent designed with summer camping in mind. Featuring multiple mesh panels for airflow and a built-in canopy for extra living space, this tent is perfect for couples, small families or groups of friends looking for comfort and practicality. With its fully sewn-in groundsheet, durable Sentinel Fabric, and Midnight Bedrooms for better sleep, the Sierra 500 has everything you need for your camping trip.
Spacious Living Area
The Sierra 500 has a roomy central space that’s great for relaxing or storing your gear. The large Diamond Clear windows make the interior bright and airy, and the roll-away curtains give you privacy when you need it. The flat-front design includes a pre-attached canopy, ideal for eating outside or just sitting back and enjoying the view. Standing at 1.95m tall, there’s plenty of room to move around comfortably.
Comfortable Bedrooms
Designed with Vango’s Midnight Bedrooms, the Sierra 500 helps you sleep longer by reducing early morning light. The Queen Size layout provides 60cm of space per person, so everyone has room to stretch out. Handy bedroom pockets keep your essentials close by, while the wide, step-free entrances make getting in and out nice and easy.
Lightweight and Durable Canvas
Built from Sentinel Fabric, the Sierra 500 balances strength and portability. Its 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating keeps you dry in inclement weather, while ColourLok Eco technology protects the fabric from UV damage. The fabric’s clever design keeps pack size small without skimping on durability, so it’s easy to transport and tough enough for regular camping.
Easy and Reliable Pitching
The tent uses Vango PowerFlex® fibreglass poles, which are lightweight but strong. Pre-angled poles give you more headroom inside and improve wind resistance. The TBS®II Tension Band System adds extra stability in blustery conditions, making sure your tent stays put even when the weather turns.
