REI's 4th of July sale has every piece of camping equipment you could need for a successful trip this summer, but the best deal you'll find is on The North Face's fully loaded Wawona 6 Tent. This tent was a headlining product during REI's spring clearance sale in April and shot back up to full price shortly after. Now, it's been marked down again for an even better price.
The North Face's Wawona 6 Tent is back on sale at REI, this time for just $300—a 40% discount on the normal $500 price. Since it was last on sale in April, it's eclipsed the 200 five-star rating threshold, and those who have recently used it say it's a "great family tent" and a "game changer" for tall people. It's getting a ton of attention at its current selling price and is now the No. 1 bestselling product during REI's 4th of July sale. It's still available in two colors until July 4, then it goes back up in price.
What stands out most about this tent is its oversized vestibule, with a whopping 44.7 square feet of living and gear storage space that feels larger than some New York City apartments. On top of that, the tent offers almost 90 square feet of sleeping space and has a peak height of 76 inches, which makes getting changed far easier for anybody under 6-foot-5. Aside from the ample space, the Wawona 6 offers everything else you'd expect in a high-quality three-season tent and more, like tons of interior storage pockets, pole clips to which you can attach a lantern, and a fully waterproof construction.
There's a lot that shoppers love about the Wawona 6, but for many, it comes down to the space. "After way too much research and review reading on car camping tents, I finally landed on the Wawona 6 and I couldn't be happier," one shopper said. "It is very spacious, and the vestibule is a game changer, regardless of the weather. The tent itself fits two adults on a queen mattress and two dogs with a bunch of space left over, and the vestibule is a perfect storage spot for all of the gear."
Others who picked this tent up for its space say that it's a great option for summer camping. "This is the perfect family and car camping tent," one shopper said. "The air vents are great for summer. I bought a Dewalt 20V battery-powered job site fan; run that at night and you are very cool in the tent sleeping." Another shopper agreed, saying, "Used it for one week. Ventilation is the best in any tent we've owned."
If you're gearing up to get outside this summer, choose comfort over cramping and pick up The North Face's Wawona 6 Tent while it's 40% off to use on your next adventure and those for years to come. The price only lasts until July 4, so make sure to get yours soon.
