A campsite palace, this tent will make other campers drool with appreciation for the lavish, roomy quarters. Constructed with pull-down privacy walls that create three rooms, the North Face Trailhead 8 BX sleeps eight adults comfortably. Roughly the same size as a Manhattan studio, this tent's palatial qualities doesn't distract from its sound structural construction and rugged durability you expect with The North Face products.
The North Face Trailhead 8 Tent creates a home away from home in the wild outdoors. Spacious enough to comfortably sleep 8 people, this family camper is a lot easier on your wallet than that vacation home you've been dreaming of—but not much smaller. Fusion Pitch technology makes the Trailhead super quick and easy to set up, so you spend more time having fun. Prayer-bound floor seams increase user space with clean angles, and color-coded canopy and flysheet webbing makes setting up the fly a snap before the rain starts to fall. Dual doors reduce congestion from 8 people coming and going from the Trailhead 8. Rounding out a host of features is an internal pocketing system, a strengthening combination of pole clips and sleeves, two roll-down dividers to create three separate sleeping compartments, and an included stuff sack.

I've had this tent for 3 years now. I think I got the first version available. Not sure what changes have been made to the 08 & 09 versions. Mine is perfect in every way. | |

| Just purchased the Trailhead 8, footprint, and two gear lofts and pieced the whole outfit together in about 20 minutes with the help of my wife and the picture on your left. This is an incredible, luxurious, airy tent. We spent a month on the trail and road with a two-man backpacker tent in New England - Quebec this summer and had grown tired of being rained in, cramped, unable to stand or really stretch out so we went overboard. We are now planning our next camp so we might enjoy the space and comfort of the North Face Trailhead 8. Also, breaking camp doesn't require standing on the tent duffle to zip up. There's ample room for the tent, fly, footprint and accessories in the bag. For | |

I am a retired grandmother, a new camper, and I purchased this tent in the fall of 2007. Have used it twice for camping and I cannot stop saying good things about it. I had never put up a tent but was able to do so quickly with the help of one other person. I was also able to take it down, rolled it up and repacked it just like I received it. The weather was chilly but with a small electric heater it was nice and warm inside. I will recommend this tent to all my friends. Thanks North Face! | |

Ultimate party errrr family camping tent. Pretty easy to set up for a big boy - doesn't take me 10 - 15 minutes. Full coverage fly and beefy poles are well worth the extra money here. I done the cheap car camping tent thing, and one storm was all it took to change that. Bomber floor - very dog friendly. | |

| This tent is frickin sweet...we needed a very specific tent. One that was good in the wind. Good in the sand. And that could fit a whole family. This tent is perfect, keeps you dry and sand free. Stood up to monsterous winds with no problem. Also extremely waterproof. Wanna make all the other campers jealous as hell......GET ONE!!! | |
