Tents

Whatever the size of your party, The North Face has the perfect camping tent to serve as your base camp, whether it's for a quick stop on your backpacking journey or an extended car-camping vacation.

For groups of four, you'll love the Wawona 4 Tent. It's built with a colour-coded system for easy setup. But the best part is its spacious interior height. You can spend rainy days playing cards in chairs instead of being cramped on the floor. And even taller family members will be able to stand up. For those who love a tidy campsite, this tent is loaded with intuitive organizational pockets for your camping accessories. No more cramped and messy tents from the past – the Wawona is ready to go. 

Along with your choice of a camping tent that's spacious and family-friendly for large groups, The North Face has compact tents for camping on backpacking journeys of all kinds.

One that stands out is our Stormbreak Tent. You'll get great views out of the two spacious doors in this classic model, which stuff into mesh pockets, so you don't have to roll them up to get them out of the way. The vestibules have all the room you need for your backpacking packs and other gear. At just under six pounds, this speedster won't weigh you down. And it's built to make sure bad weather is no big deal. 
 
Speaking of inclement weather – is your rainwear up to date? Shop The North Face for the best men's and women's rain jackets before the next storm rolls in.  

The best camping tents all share several important qualities: their setup is easy, they’re ventilated but provide reliable shelter, and they’re lightweight and easy to transport. These are all qualities that you’ll find in The North Face tents.

Have you outfitted your crew for the big adventure? Shop men’s and women’s camping clothing from The North Face for optimal layers for any activity in any weather. Don't forget camping outfits for kids, too! Being sheltered from the elements with a great tent is just part of your preparation. Comfort on the trail with the right clothing is another key to having fun. 

Several of our tents are rated for very cold camping, but how to stay warm camping in a tent can still take preparation. You want a tent insulation that will trap as much air as possible in the tent. You can use insulation on the outside or inside of the tent. Foam is great for insulating the floor (remember to go a little ways up the walls as well). And finally, insulate yourself! Get a cold-weather sleeping bag, pack a super-warm fleece, and don't sleep on a raised camp bed.

Team athletes Jim Zellers and Alex Honnold break down camping for first-timers. They recommend focusing on two aspects of camping: sleeping and cooking. Remember to bring the things you need to cook, like a camp stove, as well as plates, cups, and utensils. If you're car camping and driving right up to your campsite, a larger tent can make all the difference.

This depends on where you want to go camping. For super cold-weather camping, our VE 25 Tent and Bastion 4 Tent are cold weather rated for -60°F/-51°C. Mountaineering enthusiasts will find that our 2-meter Dome makes the perfect base camp. Casual backpackers or backwoods campers can carry along the Assault 3 FUTURELIGHT™ Tent with ease.

For larger families, our Wawona 6P Tent offers plenty of elbow room, so the kids aren't all on top of each other. Or you can separate kids and parents. Set up moms and dads in the Assault 3 FUTURELIGHT™ Tent while the kids get their own place to stay.
