Vango Apollo 500 Dome Zelt – 5 Man Zelt [Amazon Exclusive]

For the price, this is a fantastic tent - really good value. It's meant for more people (I think 5), however we used it as a 3 person so had plenty of room. The porch entrance is a decent size with a couple of entrances and the tent itself is really simple and quick to put up. Fairly lightweight, although we didn't really carry it anywhere as it can be a little bulky and just pitched it next to the car. First outing was to Wales last year, where it absolutely hammered down with rain and wind for a few days. No problem at as the inside stayed completely dry with no leaks and kept the inside at a nice ambient temperature. Can't recollect any issues with condensation either. The only recommendation I would have would just be an inside roof loop/hanger for a light in the bedroom area, as we had to hook ours to above the door. Apart from that, I'd highly recommend!

Easy to set up, easy to take down. Kept us warm and dry over night during a rainy weekend. Could do with better ventilation when inside the bedroom area.

The media could not be loaded. Overall a lovely little tent but unlike other Vangos I've had there isn't a hanging point in the bedroom for a light, although the description says there is. Also a good improvement would be eyelets to allow the porch to open up better.

Great Tent, very impressed. Only 3 poles so really easy to put up. Says 10 minutes on the instructions but including the inner tent it took about 30 minutes. Would sleep 4 adults easily and decent size living space. Due to the black colour the inner tent stays quite dark in a morning which aids sleep. Draw string packing bag makes putting away easy.

Great Size. Obviously no sane individual is buying this for use with 5 people. We used to use a 350 for years so this was a nice upgrade. The porch area being watertight unlike the older versions is great as it stops the wind from coming in. Plenty of interior pockets in the sleeping area and there isn't too much wrong with it. Putting it up is frustrating but that's universal across all tents of this design anyway.

Not sure how to score this as only just put up, to find a puncture and a small bit of glass that caused it stuck to the hole, so from the factory like it. Have repaired it myself, but have left the factory like that is not good. Otherwise looks great seems okay quality wise, apart from glaring issue previously stated. A whole lot better in all ways than another recently bought tent that goes up in 3 seconds. Have a lot more confidence in this tent than that one.

Bigger that it looks in the picsEasy to put up. 2 of us took 15-25 mins. Looks so good up and plenty of space for 2 with a double bed, luggage space and small table and 2 chairs. Could sleep 5 for the night max but I like spaceFor festivals ideal. Can not wait to try out at the festival I am attending in may 2024In it together fest

haven’t used away yet but seemed good in garden test
