Preparing for your Easter Camping holiday
Easter is often the first great opportunity to get out on your camping adventures. After a cold and wet winter and as the clocks change, the evenings get lighter, and the temperature gets warmer making it a fantastic time to build some amazing memories with your loved ones.
There are so many benefits of getting out camping for the whole family, it’s easy to see why more and more people are taking to this lifestyle. Not only is it a great value holiday which can take you to some of the most beautiful areas of the country, it provides a sense of freedom - especially to children - that sometimes lacks in our busy lives.
Most of us are victims of too much screen time, even more so in the winter when the weather often puts us off getting outside. However, camping can reconnect us with our wild side, getting us to explore new places and try new things whilst having huge benefits to our mental and physical health.
It can also help to build key life skills in children, getting them to help pitch tents, building campfires, helping with campsite cooking, being inventive by creating their own entertainment and overall helping them to better connect with new people and places.
There a so many benefits to selecting a Vango tent as your tent of choice when camping with your family, so here are some of our key features which will help you find your spirit of adventure this Easter…
Midnight Bedrooms®
As spring arrives and brings with it more hours of daylight, one of the key considerations - especially those with younger children – is, are they going to be able to get to sleep and are they going to be waking up too early?
This is where our Midnight Bedrooms® come in. Using a premium darkened fabric, they have a tremendous effect on how much light comes into your bedroom space. So, whether you’re looking for extra time in bed in the morning, or a little me-time in the evening without young children being woken up, the Midnight Bedrooms® are beneficial to everybody.
AirBeam®
When you’re looking for a no stress way to pitch your tent that’s quick, easy and affords you more time to spent enjoying quality time with your family, AirBeam® tents are for you. Vango are the originators of AirBeam® technology, and we developed that further with S.I Pro® enabling you to inflate and deflate from a single valve.
Accessibility
If you have young children in a buggy or use a wheelchair or perhaps you take bikes on your adventures, accessing the tent can be tricky. Several of our tent’s feature drop down doorsteps that reduce trip hazards and enable easy entry and exit.
Great options to consider… Sherwood range, Savannah range, Anantara range and Sierra range that include drop down door steps and clear access bedrooms
Price Ranges
At Vango our main goal is to encourage as many people to get outdoors as possible, and we endeavour to ensure that there is something for everyone. We take great pride in creating camping equipment at all levels of budget that ensure you are getting the best value for money anywhere in the camping industry.
Our family tent ranges from RRP £230 for something like the Tahoe 400 which sleeps 4,
to £2100 for an Anantara IV Air TC 650XL which is the pinnacle of luxury camping and comes with a free large studio, carpet and groundsheet protector.
One of the tents we are really proud of this year is the Savannah 600XL which won The Camping Awards Best Family Tent category. We feel that this tent at £590 provides some of the best value for money for a tent this size.
The Savannah 600XL sleeps 6, has a large living space as well as an integrated awning and includes a groundsheet protector. But what really makes this stand out is that it uses our Dynamic Weave 100TM fabric. Interweaving 75 Denier fabric with 100 Denier fabric provides superb strength to weight ratio, and ColourLok Eco technology protects the fabric against prolonged UV damage whilst using 60% less water in the dying process
Family Accessories
As well as your tent, building your home away from home requires camping accessories, and Vango has everything you could possibly need.
Mealtimes whilst camping create some of the most enjoyable moments of any adventure and provide friends and families real time to connect and relax. The sizzle double is a stylish induction hob which is easy to setup and clean down, or the Magma Grill cooker has dual gas burners with an integrated grill which will elevate your campsite chef level in no time.
To compliment your cooking setup, our selection of coolers will provide an abundance of storage for your food and drinks. Take a look at the Glacier 70L has a great capacity for everything you need with insulation that has up to 5 days ice retention!
When you’re looking to settle down for the evening, furniture such as the Havana inflatable sofa and chair provide a great option for creating a cosy evenings in. Whilst adding a vista cinema screen means you can have wonderful movie nights under the stars.
Or, if you prefer to remain outside then the Nomad firepit is fantastic for toasting marshmallows or just providing an ambient centre piece whilst you watch the night draw in. Plus, it also flat-packs and has a carry bag so it’s very easy to put away and use anytime. Add to this a couple of oversized Titan chairs to curl up in and you’ll be set up for a relaxing and revitalising camping holiday!
Enjoy your Easter holiday with Vango and we wish you a fantastic time finding your spirit of adventure!
