Why Choose the Vango Beta 550 XL?
The Vango Beta 550 XL is a spacious and practical 5 person tunnel tent designed for campers who want comfort, reliability and generous living space for longer stays. With a well balanced layout, durable materials and straightforward pitching, it is ideal for family camping holidays and relaxed weekend trips.
Constructed as a 3 pole tunnel tent, the Beta 550 XL offers excellent internal volume while remaining quick and manageable to pitch, with an approximate 15 minute pitching time. The large porch area provides valuable space for storing camping furniture, bags and wet kit, helping keep the sleeping area uncluttered and organised.
Weather protection is delivered by Vango’s robust Dynamic Weave 100™ fabric. This cross hatch construction achieves an impressive strength to weight ratio while maintaining a compact pack size. With a 4,000mm hydrostatic head and integrated ColourLok Eco technology, the flysheet offers dependable waterproof performance and improved colour retention, even after repeated exposure to the elements.
Comfort is a key focus of the Beta 550 XL. The tent features Midnight Queen Size bedrooms, which reduce early morning light and provide a generous 60cm sleeping width per person for a more restful night’s sleep. Breathable bedroom fabrics, combined with well positioned storage pockets, help create a practical and comfortable sleeping environment.
Ventilation is managed through Vango AirZone high and low level ventilation panels, promoting continuous airflow to reduce condensation and maintain a pleasant internal climate. The living area benefits from diamond clear windows and a mesh door panel, allowing light to enter while keeping insects at bay.
Stability is enhanced by PowerFlex fibreglass poles, the TBSII Tension Band System and an adjustable pegging system that allows the tent to be pitched securely on uneven ground. A robust waterproof PE groundsheet adds durability for repeated use, while fire retardant fabrics provide added peace of mind.
Thoughtful finishing touches such as the SkyTrack II hanging system, lantern hanging points, toggled privacy curtains and the oversized Easy Pack carry bag make the Beta 550 XL a well equipped and user friendly tent for memorable camping trips.
