The Vango Sierra 500 Poled Tent is designed for small families or couples who want to stretch out and truly enjoy their time outdoors. Its villa-style construction creates upright side walls and excellent headroom, making the tent feel more like a home-from-home rather than just somewhere to sleep. The flat front living area is perfect for shared meals, board games or simply escaping a summer shower, while the built-in canopy adds valuable covered space for muddy boots, bikes or chairs.

Thoughtful features like large Diamond Clear windows, mesh ventilation panels and wide access points keep the tent light, airy and practical for family use. From easy pitching to clever storage, this 5 man tent focuses on real-world comfort that makes camping feel effortless and enjoyable.
