Previously used a Vango Diablo but wanted something easier to put up. Paid 130 for the tent and certainly easier to put up than the Diablo! Plenty of room and bedroom pods easy to put up. Bit of a faff to get the tent back into its bag when packing away, could do with a bigger bag really.
Would be improved by having insect screens on the doors and having a separate bag for the poles, but well worth it for the money.

Bought this tent last year, just before Christmas, for a bargain price. Only just got to use it recently and was really pleased with my purchase. As a family of four we only used one sleeping pod which, left us loads of living space. The SIG kept us really warm but, the only couple of downsides were the only windows were in the doors which, seemed a waste of time as we never opened them as we kept the doors open. The other useful thing would be to have an entry point for the EHU lead. Overall though the tent was well made and will suit our needs for the next few years.

Have the 800 DLX with the fully sewn in groundsheet as our first tent - outstanding value, quality and space. Very easy to put up - 20mins on our first attempt and I'd never camped before - don't waste your money on cheaper seemingly better value 'economy' tents - buy this one!
The bedrooms are great as you can separate the pods of have larger open rooms (depending how sociable you or the kids want to be!) loads of living space in the middle section for table and chairs etc and I can stand up without problem despite being 6'3. No issues at all with this tent looking forward to many more trips in it

We bought the Vista 800, our second tent as we needed more space, we bought from Go Outdoors at £129.00. We would use just one pod as we wanted more space, however we have found by putting up 2 pods the tent is actually better insulated and warmer. We set up in around 15mins and folds away easily.Yes easily ha ha. We have got the extension tunnel which is perfect for cooking in when the weather is not at it's best. We love this tent and have met friends with the same tent who struggled putting the tent up (camping virgins) but we helped them and are due to go camping again with them in May. Well done Vango, one downside. Wheres the carpet lads???

Hi, this is the 1st tent that we have owned as a family & its great. We are a family of 4 but wanted a tent that would be a comfy size for all types of weather. Our 1st camping trip was February of this year .YES February ! lol. Weather was mixed, we had sunshine the 1st day & all 3 doors open, then 2nd night rained constantly but we were snug & dry inside. Tent was easy to put up took us approx 30mins & no arguing .So thats gotta be good. All enjoyed this experience & can't wait to go out & about again.

When we decided to start camping we were pretty clueless about what type of tent to go for, we just knew we wanted something that would allow us room to move around in hubby is 6'2 so didn't want him stooping all the time and something that would stand up to all weathers. The Vango vista ticks all the boxes strong and sturdy, easy to put up and down and loads of room to move around, sleep, store our stuff and has the option of 3 doors we can have open. This tent is great we have been camping every weekend since we bought it and its even had a week in France and it still is as sturdy no matter what the weather throws at it .And we have had some pretty awful weather on our travels but even when its blowing a gale and the rain is lashing down we still feel snug in our tent.

What a tent. We only started camping this year and upgraded from a small 4 man tent to this. We brought it from go out doors for a bargin price of £130.00. We took it away for the 1st time this bank holiday weekend. Being a typical bank holiday weekend we has some awful weather but this tent stood firm and took it all. The winds were so strong that it broke many a tent on the campsite, including one of our friends tents, but the Vango stood strong and didn't get damaged. With the weather being bad we had friends in our tent. The Vango comfortably held 12 of us and a table. The extra rooms came in handy for when we had to put up our friends whose tent broke. I would highly recommend this tent to anyone, it is the best £130 I have spent.

Have used this for the past 3 years (certainly didn't pay the RRP for it so look out for deals) there's lots of good points, plenty of space well made, can easily sleep 8 people with room for stuff, or fewer with room to cook and eat in bad weather.
Bad points: water comes in when you open the door if it's raining and you can't stand up properly in the bedrooms. Having said that I've used it 3 times this year and have no plans to buy a new tent any time soon.

Just had our first family camping holiday bought from go outdoors for £116 total bargain. Loads of space for the 4 of us, left one bedroom pod out for more living area - we had 4 adults 4 kids a dog and a table in ours plenty of room. Easy to put up and take down, if I knew it was that easy to go camping would have done it ages ago, recommend this tent to anyone.:-)

I have just returned from my first weekend away in this tent. Bought from Go Outdoors in the sale at £130 it was a bargain. It withstood rain and wind without a problem, and was large enough inside for the children (and dog) to be happy about the need to stay inside until the rain stopped. We chose to remove two of the bedrooms during the day for more space and put up again at night. This might sound like a faffy process but it only took a couple of minutes. It was not drafty with the sewn in ground sheet. The only improvements I can think of is if the bedrooms were separate there would be more flexibility, as they are currently 2x2 ie 4 berth in one unit. Also, instructions are needed on how to get it back into the bag! this took much longer than putting it up!
