Pros
- The Wawona has almost none [water intrusion], despite the partial fly and being in torrential rain for multiple days straight.

- This review video made me buy the Wawona 6 tent. Never looking back. I love it. Spoiler for the review: It withstands heavy rain.
- The Wawona 6 looked like it was perfect--it had that same roughly 10x8' footprint. It's tall... It has that amazing vestibule that we can use to change the kids in and out of bathingsuit, store gear, and have a place out of the bugs when...
- I have the orange, but overall it is a fantastic tent. My wife takes it when her and our 9yo daughter go together because she likes setting up on it better than our 4 man. She says it is easier to set up solo.
Cons
- I purchased an orange one and set it up in the yard to try it and hated the color so so much that I returned it. I love a lot of orange colors, but this orange was like a faded neon traffic cone. The brown that it is stitched to reminded...
- I set it up and it looked like the bottom seem tape was coming undone and you could see a slit of daylight through. In the front corner where the poles put stress. ... lol fuck this tent.
- As the title states, I recently purchased the Wawona 6 and I understand that it comes with stakes.

Parent context: This review video made me buy the Wawona 6 tent. Never looking back. I love it. Spoiler for the review: It withstands heavy rain. Reply: This review also made me buy it as well!! So far in heavy “atmospheric river” rain. We were in about 3” for about 1 1/2 days and it stayed dry. We fit 2 queens in but it touches the side walls of the tent. Had no issues.

The Wawona 6 looked like it was perfect--it had that same roughly 10x8' footprint. It's tall... It has that amazing vestibule that we can use to change the kids in and out of bathingsuit, store gear, and have a place out of the bugs when we're settling the boys down to sleep. It keeps water out.
I purchased an orange one and set it up in the yard to try it and hated the color so so much that I returned it. I love a lot of orange colors, but this orange was like a faded neon traffic cone. The brown that it is stitched to reminded myself and the person setting it up with me of newborn baby poop. Overall we returned it, I might have gotten a gray one but the floor size was a little small for us and headroom in the vestibule too low.
I have the orange, but overall it is a fantastic tent. My wife takes it when her and our 9yo daughter go together because she likes setting up on it better than our 4 man. She says it is easier to set up solo.
I have the Orange and it is an excellent tent. Easy(ish) to set up (2 people and 3 Great Pyrenees) and surprisingly roomy insideI have not noticed it being too hot (Arizona) but I usually camp under trees when possible. I got it the first year that they came out 4-5 years ago and have had zero problems with it.
I am currently inside my Wawona 6. We use it a few times a year, this is year three. Great tent, zero issues.

I have a the same tent. Love it. 5 trips.
