We only started camping last year and was looking for a tent that was both easy to put up and had plenty of living space as the cheap one we originally bought had neither.
The amazon 600 definitely has living space but at the expence of the bedrooms which whilst there are 3 of them they are small and will only fit an average sized double airbed.
This suits us but probably doesn't suit everyone.
Its dead easy to put up and after only 2 trips my OH and I can get it up in under 30 minutes.

Bought ours earlier this year and used it for the first time last weekend. Putting the tent up was fairly straight forward, although locating rings to poles once one side is done was a little tricky, however, once that was done the rest was easy.
We are very impressed with the amount of living space, a god send when the heavens opened! We were able to sit comfortably around a table to eat without feeling cramped or bent over.
The sleeping area has three bedrooms we used the middle to sleep, it fits two adult single airbeds. Used the other one for dressing, and with the height of the bedroom it was a joy to be able to stand to dress.We did not put up the third but used the space for extra storage.
The tent stood up very comfortably to all the elements and dried out very quickly. The outer seating area under the porch canopy again spacious. The walkway entrances were able to be put flat and raised to personal requirement which is good as this eliminated the trip factor.
Putting down the tent very easy and we congratulated ourselves in getting the tent back in the bag and doing up the Zip. Something to do with the oversized bag it comes in they say!
In essence we are very pleased with our purchase and looking forward to trying out again very soon.

Were newish to camping & used ours for the 1st time last weekend. Straightforward to put up - no falling out or squabbling with hubby over it! plenty of room for 2 adults & 4 kids. Haven't had kitchen set up yet but the porch area looks ideal for it. Easy to take down & really easy to get back in the bag (unlike our last tent) can't think of a single negative - we were lucky with the weather so didn't get to test the waterproofness - will put that to the test with 2 weeks in france next year. We got the footprint to make life easier in mucky conditions but didn't bother with the carpet, we just use picnic blankets (easy to wash & keep clean)
Very happy with it & can't wait for big holiday in it next year.

We've just got back from 5 very wet days in the New Forest and it really stood the test of high winds and heavy rain!
We are first time campers and liked the Amazon 600 as it has a good sized living area and we were taking my teenaged daughter and her best friend so needed space for us all so we weren't under each others feet. It certainly did the job for us and I would recommend this tent to anyone - the canopy was ideal for our evening barbecues, even with the rain!
Can't wait to use it again, hopefully next time we will be able to benefit from opening the three doorways instead of hurriedly closing them to keep the elements away.

With a young family our first trip to the east Yorkshire coast was perhaps adventurous, peppered as it was with gale force winds and heavy rain. This was not a problem for us as the tent was easy to erect, incredibly stable in such high winds, and totally water-tight. The sewn in ground sheets are a first for us and fantastic. Yes there are problems with the porch fittings on the side doors. Tending to hit any approaching adult on the forehead so we didn't use them. This shouldn't distract from a great family tent with bags of room including that luxury headheight.

We recently brought this tent. We decided to go for a short break to the Suffolk coast to try out our new Amazon 600. Although the majority of the time the whether was nice the tent was just as reliable in wet and windy whether. It is extremely spacious inside and we needed more things to fill it with due to the extra room which our last tent had little of. The only downside was that due to it's brilliant size it did get a little chilly when the whether was poor, but thick sleeping bags and a heater would sort that issue out. An absolutely fantastic tent we would definitely recommend it, brilliant for families big or small.

Just changed my dome tent for this and what can I say. Wow!
It's really spacious and light inside so even on bad days you don't feel enclosed.
This new model has huge canopy which is enclosed at the sides.Excellent for shade in the sun and rain. Has fully enclosed groundsheet. Nothing's getting in this tent!
Bedrooms are excellent size and can zip out into a 4 person and a 2 person or 3 2 person rooms.
Tent is very sturdy even with inly 2 guys in when putting it up.Cant believe this tent. Its fab!

As a family of 5 (inc 6yr old, 2yr old, and crazy black lab) we LOVE this tent. It has so much room, which is appreciated so much on those days the weather isn't very kind. We have had it up in torrential rain and very high winds and it stood up to it all.
Quite big to put up and def needs two, but it's very simple to put up, which kind of makes up for it. It's true the bedrooms only fit a double air bed but then as we say, you only sleep in them and we use the third to store all our clothes and get changed in, the living area certainly makes up for this.
Both side doors have fly nets, as does the front, which can also open 2/3rds of the front of the tent.
The porch area is great for cooking in, and this helps with the windbreak you can also buy to go with it.
Inside it has loads of hanging pockets, which is a godsend when you haven't got all those handy kitchen drawers like you have at home!
All in all a brill tent for long family holidays!

Bought one as we like plenty of room when camping. We were not disappointed and the tent stood up to some horrendous weather conditions. The front porch with the side windows was a brilliant idea as it gives you room to sit outside your tent at night whilst still feeling some protection from any cool evening breezes. There were 4 of us camping in this tent for two weeks so there was enough room to sleep as well as store the clothes.

This tent is brill. Ticks all the boxes except for the British weather is rather wet a lot so had to have a larger front porch but Vango dose not make one for the Amazon 600(2010 model). So came up with a great idea. Purchased a spare flysheet (2008 model) with the zip off canopy as this is better in windy weather dose not capture the wind and put stress on the front of the tent when canopy off. Cut the bedroom section off but not the groundsheet left that in tack so as when I joined the to tents together there is groundsheet everywhere . Now have front porch 4.5 m square. The biz. Will get pictures as soon as poss

Manufacturer's Description
A new range of family tunnel tents that replaces the popular Vango Vail range. The Vango Amazon tents are steel poled tents which offer a cavernous (Stan saw the Beatles here), open living area and three spacious full height bedrooms. In addition, they also feature a fully sewn-in groundsheet which protects the occupants from the outside elements. Because it's such a large tent, great importance has been placed on allowing plenty of light into the space and so a large 'veranda' front door, two canopied side doors, multiple large panel 'Crystal Clear' windows and skylights have all been incorporated to maximum effect. Finally, the Vango Amazon's also come complete with a zip-on sun canopy - great for al fresco cooking and dining. The Vango Amazon 600 features 3 x 2-berth sleeping berth (which will sleep 6 adults comfortably) and all of which are removable.
Other features include a Protex 5000 durable polyester flysheet (5000mm hydrostatic head), taped seams, heavy duty Oxford external storm skirt, 3 mesh doors, mesh vents, colour coded Powerplus Steel poles, pre-angled poles for rigidity, flysheet first pitching, PE waterproof groundsheet, breathable polyester inners, storage pockets and hanging organisers, double zip windows (for 3 vent/light options), cable entry point, lantern hanging point, roller bag, repair kit. Flame retardant throughout.
