The Wawona doesn’t come with a footprint—few tents this size do—but it’s otherwise all-inclusive, and it is compact considering how much livable space you get. The price also reflects the high quality of the materials, such as the four reinforced aluminum poles, which weigh little yet result in a remarkably strong tent. The best-selling Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent has a footprint larger (100 square feet) than that of our top-pick tent for families, but it felt smaller because it has a lower ceiling, no vestibule, and only one door. Nevertheless, it still comfortably accommodates four people, and it’s a roomy choice for two.
A full rain fly with easy-attach color-coded clips covers the tent body and adds two large vestibules. Like the Mineral King 3, the Tungsten has aluminum poles that are connected at the top (for lightning-quick pitching) and pre-bent, which increases the dome tent’s headroom. With pentagonal doors and a fly scaffolded by two brow poles—as opposed to the Mineral King 3’s single one—this tent provides excellent shielding from multidirectional wind and rain, providing you follow the setup instructions faithfully. You can also set up the tent without the fly while retaining some privacy, since the tent body has a high polyester wall on one side. Car campers who plan to brave miserable weather will appreciate the extra strength and protection of the REI Co-op Base Camp 4 Tent. The main bodies of our other picks are structured with two main poles with added support from smaller brow poles.

Finding a small, light tent is the logical approach when you’re backpacking. But with car camping—the industry term for what most people consider just camping—you’ll likely be parking next to your campsite and unloading. If you won’t be carrying your tent more than a couple hundred feet, more space means more comfort (as well as more room for your stuff). With nearly 60 square feet of floor space plus two large vestibules, the Tungsten 4 is roomier than our top-pick tent for couples. It also costs more, though, and is less forgiving of a careless set-up.
These can be as strong, or even more so, than aluminum poles (especially cheap ones), but they’re always bulkier, heavier, and not as nice to handle. However, the Wireless 6’s poles were the best fiberglass ones we tested—they left no splinters, unlike those on the Camp Creek 6 or the Copper Canyon LX 6. We also appreciated the shepherd’s hook stakes that come with the tent. Most of the tents we tested came with basic L-shaped stakes, which tended to spin around in the soil and slip a line.
We also wanted self-standing tents, which can stay up on their own. Even so, you should, ideally, stake down each corner securely; in some crowded campgrounds, however, finding a flat spot with soil soft enough to do that can be difficult. A tent that requires staking to stand up—especially a larger, six-person tent—is unwieldy, and it’ll be impossible to set up on a hard surface such as blacktop or on raised wooden tent decks.
Kicking back at the campsite or tossing the frisbee in the park? The OASIS 10 x 10 Canopy with Sun Wall sets up easily using a one-push center hub with OnePeak™ technology. Sometimes a little extra shade or wind protection is just what you need, so we made the sun wall easy to clip on any side. Taking proper care is key to preserving its good looks and extending coleman canopy its life. You should clean the fabric with a damp cloth dipped in some mild soap to remove dirt or any debris, but by all means do not use the washing machine or a pressure washer as they will harm the fabric! After cleaning, make sure you leave enough time for air drying before putting away again inside to prevent a build-up of unnecessary mold and mildew.
Failures in power generation plants across Texas have caused serious delays in restoring power statewide. City officials have been in frequent contact with AEP, the City of Coleman’s main power supplier, throughout the day. There is a high probability that power will be intermittent at best over the next couple of days. The North Face Wawona coleman chair 4, which we used to list in our Other Good Tents section, has been redesigned; it’s now made of polyester, not nylon. Unlike our top pick, the Tungsten 4 is coated with flame retardants. Any package that exceeds the threshold value for weight OR length, width and height is considered ‘Heavy/Oversized’, and requires a scheduled delivery.
