This tent has long been a favourite for family, weekend and group camping and now the inner tent has been darkened further with Vango's new "Nightfall Bedroom" inner tent to reduce the amount of early morning light so that you can have a little lie in while you are enjoying your camping trip! Aside from some hot work installing the groundsheet and bedroom, the two of us – plus two labradors – had an excellent night’s sleep in the huge bedroom. We loved the bedroom’s Nightfall effect, too, which felt cosy while masking dawn very effectively. However, I would have preferred a little more bedroom ventilation, although I did get around this by partially opening one of the side entrances with the mozzie mesh in place. The pod doesn't fit a double and single airbed comfortably and one person will have to use the porch area of that set up used.

The Beta XL range has very generous porch areas with linked in groundsheet, spacious sleeping section and outer first or all in one pitching, to keep your sleeping area protected from the rain making it ideal for family getaways or a few days camping with friends. Multiple flysheet doors - provides easy entry from either side giving protection from prevailing winds Having already tested the exceptional Coleman Air Valdes with sewn-in groundsheet, I was a little alarmed to discover that this model’s waterproof PE groundsheet and bedroom compartment are separate entities, and the inner section needs to be attached to the flysheet after the flysheet has been pitched. Many tent manufacturers still use this configuration, and it’s true that it does make the groundsheet easier to wash separately.

Thankfully, the flysheet itself has about six inches of groundsheet material sewn into its inner edges, and the main groundsheet lays above it, so rainwater runs under the groundsheet and not into the tent. I didn’t experience any such weather during my test, but it looks like a robust enough system to me.

In fact, I would recommend leaving the inner groundsheet and bedroom compartment attached to the flysheet when disassembling the tent. This will save a lot of bother when it comes time to pitch the tent again.

Nightfall Bedrooms - Helps reduce early morning light so your sleeping pattern doesn't need to be dictated by the sunrise. The CLR, or Colour range of tents from Vango are a step forward in the use of recycled and repurposed materials. The coloured trims around the doors, along the pole sleeves or guyline points are offcuts from the manufacturing process which would have previously ended up in landfill. Vango have specially sourced these offcuts and guarantee the performance of the fabrics to meet their high standards. Lights-out Inner - Helps reduce early morning light in your bedroom whilst still being breathable to ensure a good night sleep

Personally, I think five people is really pushing it unless you want to sleep shoulder to shoulder and constantly trip over each other while getting ready for bed. Having set it up and measured the internal dimensions of the bedroom (an extremely spacious three metres in width), I would say that this tent is a perfect size for three but even better for two. This would allow for much more elbow room and loads more space to spend time inside and store individual belongings.

We set it up without much trouble and it took us may be 30mins for a first try with all the guy lines etc. I wasn't sure if I'd set it up tight enough but it kept us dry through the wet weekend.
