While the Campstar 600 is definitely not a buy that you will regret, the competition (looking at the Vango Stargrove II 600 especially) seems better value for money to me.Please Note: These delivery options only apply to products purchased online. I’d say I recommend the Outdoor Revolution Campstar 600 for its qualities – it certainly is a good tent – if it was not for the competition. Is the Outdoor Revolution Camp Star 600 recommended? – Verdict No wonder, the two Vangos are out of stock almost everywhere – this may be the only chance for the Outdoor Revolution Campstar 600…but, for a £100 more you can buy the Campstar 1200 12-berth air tent with 6 large bedrooms (70 cms per head). Lichfield Eagle Air 6: £889 with footprint and carpet – detailed review here Vango Joro Air 600XL: £799 with footprint and carpet – detailed review here Vango Stargrove II Air 600XL: £679 (£720 with footprint and carpet) – detailed review here So, compared to the Cruiz 6.0 TXL for example, which was on sale for £499-£649, the Campstar 600 for £869 feels a bit overly optimistic for me…again, the Cruiz range air tents came out only two years ago and if you were lucky enough you could still buy one last year…Ĭompared to the 6-berth tents I already mentioned above, prices are as follows (at the time of writing this post): It was only two years ago, I reviewed them here: Outdoor Revolution Cruiz Air Tents Complete Guide. You may remember the Outdoor Revolution Cruiz 6.0TXL – Outdoor revolution’s previous attempt on a lightweight and affordable 6-berth family air tent. Outdoor Revolution Camp Star 600 – Good size family tent that you won’t regret buying, just don’t look at the competition. You’ll definitely need narrow beds if you intend to use them as a 5- person or 6-person tent, or you don’t use beds/mattresses at all. So as you can see, competition has kept the weight lower, and kept the bag smaller (sort of).Īs with all the other 6-person air tents, I believe that 60 cms per head in the bedrooms is just not enough or it certainly limits the fun factor. Vango Stargrove II Air 600XL – 80 * 46 * 46 cm and it weighs 25 kgs, again, the size is identical to the Campstar 600. Vango Joro 600XL Air – 80 x 46 x 46 cms carry bag weighing only 25 kgs, the size of the Vango Joro 600XL is identical to the Outdoor Revolution Campstar 600. Lichfield Eagle Air 6 – same tent size, much much bigger carry bag (82 x 60 x 60 cm) but it is slightly lighter (28 kgs), despite the Vango Sentinel Exclusive-equivalent flysheet (that’s one category up from the Campstar 600’s 120HDE flysheet) As a comparison, a few other 6-person air tents that I have reviewed recently: Okay, so I already mentioned the large – 87 x 58 x 42 cm – carry bag. 120 cm bedrooms x 3 – limited versatility.The pump is included, but if you think that 5 air tubes are a bit too many for you to pump manually, you can always opt for an electric pump such as this one by Kampa that I can fully recommend – you just set the psi and watch the tent inflating… Outdoor Revolution Camp star 600 – Cons Pitching is easy, Outdoor Revolution’s airframe system is one of the most advanced systems on the market. It is compatible with all the Outdoor Revolution goodies such as the Lumi-link lighting system The footprint extends to the porch area.įull mesh side door on the Outdoor Revolution Camp Star 600. The front door between the porch and the living room is enermous, almost takes up the entire width of the tent and the fully sewn in ground sheet drops flat, so there is no trip hazard when entering the living room. You’ll need a big roofbox to allow for an at least 42 cms internal height.Īs for access and ventillation: the side doors are large and fully meshed. Do check your roofbox though, because the bag of the Campstar 600 is quite large: 87 x 58 x 42 cm. The tent weighs 31 kgs (plus pump etc.), which is the territory of a two-man lift if you intend to lift it into the roofbox. There are three bedrooms, each is 120 cms wide. You can make the living room even bigger by the optional side porch. The front canopy is a universal one, it fits onto most Campstar air tents. There’s also a porch, albeit not a big one but you can further extend it with an optional front canopy (sold separately). The whole tent is quite large, more than 7 metres long and over 25 metres square and the living room in itself is over 10 square metres. Outdoor Revolution Camp Star 600 – large porch with the footprint under your feet, easy access entrance to the living room and to the darkened bedrooms.
