Vango Sherwood Air 600XL vs Savannah Air 600XL: UK Tent Guide

The Vango Sherwood Air 600XL and Savannah Air 600XL are both six-person inflatable AirBeam tents with front awnings, supplied pumps and included groundsheet protection. The Sherwood listing emphasises 150D embossed fabric with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head rating, King Size Midnight Bedrooms and a covered side entrance. The Savannah listing describes three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms and a large double-section living area.

This World of Camping guide compares only the Vango Sherwood Air 600XL Tent Package and Vango Savannah Air 600XL Tent Package. Both are rated for six campers, but check their individual floor plans before choosing bedding or planning your family camping setup.

Sherwood Air 600XL vs Savannah Air 600XL: at-a-glance comparison

Prices and availability can change. A detail not stated in this comparison is not evidence that a tent lacks that feature. Confirm the exact specifications and package contents before ordering.

Which six-person Air tent should you choose?

Shortlist the Sherwood Air 600XL if its listed fabric specification, King Size Midnight Bedrooms and covered side entrance are priorities. Shortlist the Savannah Air 600XL if its three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms, double-section living area and lower checked price suit your plans.

At the prices checked on 21 October 2026, the Sherwood was £370 more than the Savannah. That difference is a starting point for comparing features, not proof that either tent is better for every family. Both were unavailable to buy at that check, so confirm availability before planning a purchase.

Vango Sherwood Air 600XL: key features

The Sherwood Air 600XL is a six-person AirBeam tent with an integrated front awning, covered side entrance and extended living area for socialising or storing kit. Its listing places it in Vango's Excel collection and specifies 150D embossed fabric with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head rating.

The listing also includes ColourLok technology for colour retention and King Size Midnight Bedrooms. Check the bedroom dimensions and layout against your airbeds or sleeping mats rather than relying on the King Size label alone.

A footprint and pump are included in the listed package. The description also mentions compatibility with an optional Universal Inner for additional sleeping or storage space in the living area. The inner is an optional accessory, not a stated package inclusion. Confirm the exact compatible version before buying; do not assume it increases the tent's rated capacity.

Vango Savannah Air 600XL: key features

The Savannah Air 600XL is a six-person AirBeam tent with three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms, a large double-section living area and a pre-attached front awning. Its listing describes the living space and awning as useful for socialising and storing camping equipment.

The package includes a pump and an additional groundsheet protector. Before choosing, check the bedroom measurements, total pitch dimensions, packed size and weight. Those details matter when fitting beds, booking a campsite pitch and packing your car.

The Savannah Air 600XL description used for this guide does not confirm its fabric rating. Do not apply a fabric specification from another Savannah model to this tent.

Bedrooms and living space: compare your actual setup

Both tents are rated for six people, but rated capacity does not guarantee extra room around large airbeds, bags or bedside equipment. Measure your sleeping kit and compare it with each tent's floor plan.

The Sherwood's King Size and Savannah's Queen Size bedroom descriptions should not be treated as a substitute for measurements. The Savannah listing explicitly describes three bedrooms; confirm the Sherwood's exact bedroom arrangement before deciding how your family will sleep.

Midnight Bedrooms use darkened sleeping-area fabric. Treat this as a reduced-light feature, not a guarantee of complete blackout or uninterrupted sleep.

For longer holidays, plan where chairs, bags and everyday camping essentials will go without blocking entrances. An integrated awning provides covered space, but it is not an additional rated sleeping berth or a fully enclosed room by default.

Pitching and choosing for UK family camping

Both tents use inflatable AirBeam structures and their listings describe a supplied pump. Inflatable does not mean there is no work after inflation: follow the manufacturer's instructions for pegging, guylines and adjustments. Allow extra time for your first pitch and practise before your holiday.

For campsites in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, compare the complete tent footprint with your pitch allowance and leave space for guylines and access. Check packed dimensions and weight against your transport arrangements before buying.

A 5,000mm fabric rating is not a guarantee of complete-tent performance in every condition. Correct pitching, tent condition, site exposure and the forecast all matter. Do not assume either model is suitable for storms or extreme weather. Never cook or use a barbecue inside the tent or front awning.

Do both packages include groundsheet protection?

Yes. The Sherwood listing includes a footprint, and the Savannah listing includes a groundsheet protector. A separate protector is not the same thing as the tent's own groundsheet. Check current package contents before purchase.

Does the Sherwood include the Universal Inner?

The Sherwood Air 600XL description lists compatibility with an optional Universal Inner. It does not state that the inner is included. Confirm compatibility with the exact tent version before buying an accessory.

Is the Sherwood a 2026 model?

The current Sherwood title says 2026, while its existing page address retains 2025 and the description also refers to 2025. Those labels alone do not establish model-year changes. Confirm the exact supplied version if the year matters to your decision.
