Our Take
The North Face Wawona 8 is a standout for families because of its massive interior height and oversized vestibule that essentially acts as a second room for gear or chairs.
We love the hybrid double-wall construction and color-coded poles that make such a large tent surprisingly simple to pitch, even for one person.
It provides a reliable, comfortable home base that handles rain like a champ while giving everyone enough space to move around without bumping elbows.
