Product Information

The new Vango Stargrove Air TC has to be one of our favourite tents for the new season. Vango have taken their best-selling tent and combined it with their much-loved Polycotton fabric to give it a more premium feel and more importantly make it breathable. This tent is now perfect for going abroad as well as coping with the British weather (even when it gets hot). Vango has manufactured a tent which is incredibly good value without any compromise on quality; you still have all of the main features built into the tent such as cable entry points, airspeed valves and mesh windows internally and low-level panels externally.

The 600XL size in the polyester version knocks the socks off similar tents from other manufacturers for space, size, and more importantly value for money: the new Polycotton version is really in a category of its own. The new darker Nightfall bedrooms will also make sure you have a longer and better night’s sleep as you won’t be waking up when the sun does and storage pockets are still easily accessible for storing items like phones or torches so you can find them in the middle of the night.

The Airbeams are pre-angled to maximize internal room inside the tent and can be pumped up in seconds; a manual pump is supplied as well a range of decent pegs. The tent is separated into three main areas; a sleeping area which can accommodate up to six people and there is a divider to allow privacy, the main living area is spacious enough which means on a rainy day you have enough room to feel comfortable and the front awning offers a great area to cook or leave your muddy shoes and boots before entering the lovely, clean-living area. The front awning door can be arranged into three positions (fully open, semi-open or closed) which means that you can use the area to suit your needs. The side door has the option to be used as a canopy by buying some king poles.

The Vango Stargrove TC Air 600XL brings a polycotton tent down to a much more affordable price point without comprising too much on space and features and, in our opinion, the Vango Stargrove TC is the perfect tent for the first-time camper.
