If you've found yourself here after watching my tent tour on TikTok (or because you're deep in a camping research rabbit hole at 11pm), welcome!
When we were shopping for a tent, I spent an embarrassing amount of time watching other people's setups. Turns out there's something incredibly satisfying about seeing how everyone organises their temporary little home. So I thought it was only fair that I returned the favour.
Here's a closer look at our Vango Savannah 600XL and why we've absolutely fallen in love with it.
Why We Chose the Vango Savannah 600XL
Camping has definitely evolved for us over the years.
Gone are the days of squeezing everything into a tiny tent and pretending waking up with a numb shoulder is "part of the experience."
Now? We like our camping with a little bit of comfort.
The Savannah 600XL gives us plenty of room to spread out, stand up properly (always a bonus) and actually enjoy spending time inside the tent if the British weather decides to do what it does best.
The Living Area
This is probably my favourite part of the tent.
It feels genuinely spacious without feeling like you're living in an aircraft hangar. We've got room for our camping furniture, somewhere to cook if needed, somewhere to sit with a book, and enough space that you're not constantly climbing over bags every five minutes.
It makes those slower campsite mornings with a coffee feel even better.
Our Bedroom Setup
A good night's sleep makes or breaks a camping trip.
The bedrooms in the Savannah feel roomy enough for a proper mattress and still leave space for the inevitable pile of clothes that starts neatly folded and somehow ends up... less so.
The darker bedrooms are also a huge plus if, like me, you don't particularly fancy being awake the moment the sun pops up.
Organisation Is Everything
I wish I could tell you I'm one of those effortlessly organised campers who packs only the essentials.
Unfortunately, I see an empty storage pocket as a personal challenge.
One thing I really appreciate about this tent is how easy it is to keep everything organised. Having designated places for shoes, bags and all the random camping bits makes life so much easier throughout the week.
Although somehow I still spend ten minutes looking for the bottle opener.
Little Details That Make a Big Difference
It's often the smaller features that end up making the biggest difference.
The large windows let loads of natural light in, the ventilation keeps things comfortable on warmer days, and multiple entrances mean you're not constantly asking someone to move because you've forgotten something in the car.
Again.
Is the Vango Savannah 600XL Worth It?
For us, absolutely.
It's a tent that feels like a proper home from home. Whether we're away for a weekend or a longer camping trip, having that extra space makes such a difference to how relaxed the whole experience feels.
Yes, it's a bigger tent. Yes, it takes a little longer to pitch than something much smaller.
But once it's up, you'll quickly forget about the extra few minutes.

I'd love to know what your camping setup looks like too. Are you a minimalist camper who packs with military precision, or are you, like me, convinced you'll definitely need six blankets, three lanterns and enough snacks to survive a week even though you're only away for two nights?
No judgement here.
