Best praise vs top criticism for The North Face Wawona 4
“Cabin tents are great. Sometimes Costco has them (Core brand). You can also try 6 person tents such as the REI Kingdom (discontinued), which honestly I would try to find a lightly used one. Same with the Nemo Wagontop, and North Face Wawona. Second hand or sales is the way to go through Facebook marketplace, offerup or hear on reddit.”
“All all good choices. The Wawona 6p can be had for $299 assuming you can find one in stock. The Wawona has a large vestibule porch area but is large to setup. It does not have a full coverage rainfly. The Wawona 4p doesn't come with the really big vestibule of the 6p, you have to buy an optional vestibule accessory to get that. The Aurora Highrise doesn't have a full coverage rainfly and I would avoid it. The Big House is basically the Bunk House without the Big front vestibule or the really nice carry bag. It has a more basic stuff sack. You can buy an optional vestibule for this. Habitude/Habbiscape are similar. The Habbiscape is a newer design and is a little bit larger. Only a single door and vestibule on this tent.”
