The North Face Wawona 6 Double-Wall Tent

We're car campers in a Rivian R1S, usually building out a full basecamp with an awning, lounge tent, and kitchen for longer stays. For our shorter trips though-when we just need to roll in, set up, and get some sleep-the North Face Wawona 6 has become the ideal setup. We already love our Gazelle T-Hex Overland, but the Wawona 6 fits perfectly into the "lighter pack-out" side of our system. Setup is straightforward and fast (about ten minutes with two people), and the structure feels more refined than most tents in this size class. It's tall enough to stand in, the ventilation is excellent, and the front vestibule makes the whole footprint feel bigger than it is. We paired ours with the Wawona XL ground tarp, which extends the vestibule into a small outdoor room-great for muddy shoes, dog towels, or a dry coffee spot when the Pacific Northwest drizzle kicks in. On our last trip, we ran it beside the Kammok Crosswing awning off the Rivian, creating a covered path between vehicle and tent. It's a small thing, but it makes camp life smoother. For anyone car camping with dogs or a mix of gear (coolers, chairs, induction cooktop, projector, etc.), this tent strikes that balance between comfort and agility. It feels built for people who want quality and space without dragging along a full expedition rig. In short: well made, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly suited for car campers who build their setups with intention.

I have used this tent for the past three or four years and it is great!! Very roomy, plenty of head space and room for two full size cots. Once I learned to set it up, it's up in less than 15 minutes. The design really helps keep it dry even if am setting it up in the rain as there is no rain fly! The front vestibule is huge and has plenty of room for my two chairs and table...which is where I have the coffee maker for early morning coffee in bed! The back vestibule is great for gear storage or other non necessities. The two drawbacks are that the big side windows open from the outside of the tent and some water has pooled toward the vestibule, causing a drip. I used an extra pole for the latter to keep the material taught allowing the rain to run off. On the former it's just not that big of a deal, as I prop the vents out on top and leave the front vestibule 1/8th of the way open and she has plenty of ventilation. I have also closed the whole thing up and stayed toasty warm! Dr. J. Seriously I have a PhD in Camping!

First time putting it up took my partner and I over an hour! By the 4th time, 15 minutes tops. A WONDERFUL tent.

We use this for road trips and camping trips. 2 people. Well thought out design. Super rooomie and easy to set up for such a big tent. Very happy with the tent.

I use it when I'm camping for more than 3 nights in one area. It allows me to store all my gear that I want to keep dry inside the sleeping area. The vestibule is great for my bike and keeps my camp chairs out of the night time dew. If it rains I can sit or cook and stay dry.

Loving it so far. Roomier than the last family tent and the vestibule is an added plus. Really like the numerous pockets on the inside to stash lights, keys, and other small items. Wish it included a footprint but that's about the only gripe so far.

We went camping near the water and it was perfect for our windspeed which picked up and took out other tents nearby while ours stand in place. I love this tent so much

Best tent ever. Game changer for our camping life! We have two dogs and are planning on having kids down the line. If you aren't a hard-core, 4 seasons camper who needs a full double-wall, this will be the perfect tent for most people. I did a lot of research and the other options just don't compare. Love the golden color too- dreamy!
