Vango Carron 500

The Vango Carron 500 is a roomy family tent designed to sleep up to five people and provide a comfortable base for family camping trips. It’s built with a simple pole structure and offers enough headroom and floor space to use as both a sleeping area and a small communal living space.

Constructed from 70D polyester, the Carron 500’s outer fabric strikes a balance between lightweight packability and everyday toughness. The tent’s 315 cm by 390 cm footprint and 195 cm peak height give ample room for sleeping mats, gear storage and a bit of standing space. Fiberglass poles form a stable frame that flexes rather than breaks under wind, and at 9.8 kg total weight this model is straightforward to transport to your chosen campsite.

In technical terms, “70D” refers to the thickness of the polyester yarn used in the tent fabric—denser yarns mean greater resistance to wear while keeping weight down. The fiberglass poles are made of multiple layered fibres, which bend under strain and then return to shape, offering resilience in changing weather without adding much bulk to your pack.
