Customer Reviews The North Face Wawona 6P

I can't praise this tent enough. I've used it several times since I bought it but last week I put it to the ultimate test, sleeping through a hurricane and remaining dry. We spent over 12 hours in no less than an inch of standing water around us- combined with the matching footprint, this tent's sturdy floor remained almost completely dry throughout. I did not notice a single drip from the roof, and the floor had mild condensation at worst, which I found amazing given that it had essentially become a waterbed. We left once the sun was shining the next morning, dry and comfortable. I can't say if this tent would be great for high wind but it is very sturdy and has numerous support lines for added tension in the worst case scenarios. Given a big enough group, it could even work for backpacking. Whoever carries it would certainly need to swap out some gear with the rest of thier party (it's 20lbs) but when bundled in 2 sections it is easily packable even on smaller hiking bags.

Had a trip to Avenue of the Giants and it rained one night.. We had a great three days and the tend was toasty and dry.

Finally became available on the Canadian site and we got it right away. Based off of the great reviews we were eager to see how it performs. Amazing stay this past weekend when our province's car camping opened! Tent has lots of room, and fit 2 adults and a dog super comfortably. We got the footprint and that works so great with the tent. Zippers all work great and access in and out are easy. Let's see how it goes long term!

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!

Great purchase, bought it because of the reviews it had in the rain! As of right now everything checks out

I've used the tent for several fall and summer camping trips on the East Coast on Assateague Island and Shenandoah. The tent is stormproof. We've weathered wind and deluges, including a storm that knocked out power nearby, and the tent stayed bone dry. The vestibule is huge and allows us to store our bikes and kid trailer. It also makes getting in and out of the tent easier in weather. The tent is a little tricky to setup but I have trouble knocking any design choices when everytime I wake up dry when everything around is drenched.

Went for an international pathfinder camporee this week and brought my Wanona 6. Storm came in with a strong wind gush. We even have to take shelter because of tornado threat and hail. I came back to our camp site, my tent is standing tall and no drop of rain came inside my tent after checking it. Other tents collapse, flooded. My club members already eyeing to buy one for themselves.

Incredible space. Easy to put up and really good ventilation.

We just took this tent (family of four; two kids under 10) camping for three nights at a National Forest campground high in the Rockies. The layout of the tent is PERFECT for car camping, IMO. The vestibule is a great integrated design that functions so well with two doors. When it rained every afternoon, as it does in the mountains, we could take refuge in the waterproof vestibule and play games with plenty of room for four chairs and a little table. When a neighbor showed up on one side, we just kept one door closed for privacy. The ceiling height inside the tent is great for grown-ups changing and moving around, and plenty of pockets and loops allowed for storage, light sticks, and LED night-lighting options for the evenings. We didn't encounter any severe weather, but the options to guy out the tent are numerous and a few extra guy lines are included. This was important peace-of-mind because our last tent collapsed on us and broke a pole during a 4am gust front from an approaching thunderstorm, with no way to stabilize it. It got fairly warm a couple of the days even at 9,400' elevation, and we employed the multiple venting options to prevent the interior from getting too stuffy so we could go in and change or if a kiddo wanted to relax on the bed or nap. We closed it down when the evenings got cool and it seemed to prevent drafts and did stay a little warmer than the outside, but I doubt it would do too much during cold winds. Another advantage to having the vestibule is that you can have a bucket toilet in there for the evenings when the gals don't want to trudge over to the vault toilet in the dark. Overall I couldn't find much to complain about with this initial outing. We added a tarp for added ground protection, which I think is necessary with rocks and pine cones/needles under there, and I would also add an aluminum sleeve splint for the potential emergency with a snapped aluminum pole.

Great tent that stays dry and awesome extra head room.

I thought I wrote review and submitted. But well I got an email again. Great tent very spacious almost luxury for two with full size air mattress. lol

This is a great family tent, harkening back to the bigger tents from the 70's! With the large front porch this tent is a really great tent overall! I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs space when camping.

We loved our new tent so much. Very easy to setup and breakdown. Even my kids were able to do so by themselves. Very sturdy, waterproof and kept bugs away. The huge advantage is that mesh is giving you very high privacy inside the tent.We are looking forward to camping again in the near future.

Great tent. Spacious especially for two people and a full size air mattress. Yes my style camping. lol Easy to set up and take down. Clean up. What I call classic north face product.

The instructions I wish had been a *bit* clearer but the tent itself is fabulous. My partner is 5' 11" and could comfortably stand, the rain fly "living room" as I call it was brilliant to have, I liked the there were pockets lining the top of the tent so that our dogs couldn't get into stuff up there. Packs easily, bummed that it didn't include a footprint but I guess I could've checked that before purchase. The poles were thick and sturdy

looks very spacious, excited to use it

Thankful that I bought it this year coz it was raining for almost 3days during our 5-day camping last June. And yes, it kept us dry and our stuff dry. We barely got moist inside the tent, only underneath the air mattresses (but not much)

Very nice size and durable for our family!

Great tent! We were in high winds and it held up great! Its Northface!

The materials are premium. No more cheap tents for me! The poles are thicker, mesh is smooth and easy to clean. The base is really tough and the side walls are silky smooth.

I love the tent. Spacious for 2 of us(it is 6p). But best part of it is the part in the front. It helps us put toilet/cooler and anything that we do not want to put inside tent or outside tent for security. Northface never let me down on their quality!
