North Face Wawona 6

C CleverHiker Ian Krammer · reviewer · Jan 2025

The North Face Wawona 6 earns our top spot because it nails the things that matter most for family camping : lots of livable space, a tall interior most adults can stand up in, and a massive vestibule that makes camp life easier. After testing more than 50 tents over dozens of nights in Colorado , the Wawona 6 is the one we keep coming back to.

The North Face Wawona 6’s 86.1-square-foot floor is easily spacious enough for a couple or small family, and it fits four 26-inch-wide Nemo Roamer pads side-by-side when arranged parallel to the door. With the same pads set up in an L-shaped configuration, this tent could comfortably sleep three people, plus all of their gear.

It's overall a pretty impressive tent. I understand cost to people and at the end of the day it is a tent and you'll have to justify if that cost is right for you. And this is going to be a review where there isn't really much of a preconception about all the features. I did not study up on the tent. I simply stayed in it. And I'm used to staying in cheaper tents.

Compared to the The North Face Wawona 6 , which uses similarly thick materials but didn’t show the same wear, the Westward 6 falls just slightly behind. Still, taken as a whole, it’s a well-built, durable tent that should hold up to regular use.

Users consistently mention that it feels solid and stable even in light to moderate wind. Space is a major advantage. Designed for six people, it comfortably fits sleeping bags, CS, and gear while still allowing movement inside. Reviewers say it feels roomier than other six-person tents, making it great for families or groups who want more comfort while camping.

The North Face Wawona 6 proved the ultimate family tent for tester Jenny Wiegand and her family of 4, with enough space for a pack-n-play and a full-sized camping mattress.

While the livability and build quality earn consistent praise—scoring 8.0/10 overall with 9.0 for durability—reviewers note the rainfly has a learning curve, the included stakes are weak, and the tent is heavy for backpacking. Best for car camping families who prioritize space and comfort over ultralight portability.
