 Best Tent EVER! Jul 07, 2010
We have used this tent twice now and I like it more each time. Even in a summer monsoon the inside was totally dry. I have a bad back and got tired of bending to get in & out of a tent. This one is perfect! The family we camp with is thinking of getting it now too.

 Disappointed Jun 10, 2010
I was very excited to own a Eureka tent. Like the color...set it up in the garage to seam seal it and am so disappointed. The bottom is the same nylon as the sides..there is a seam on the rain fly that is not sewn well. It was almost impossible to wrestle it up with even two of us. It will never hold up to Minnesota camping where it rains and can be 90 degrees. I liked the window style and the roof zip back windows in the roof so lots of good ideas. The poles were great, but the bottom would never work...never. Am sending it back and am sad that I won't have a Eureka tent. My friends have a Eureka and came over to look at it and they too were disappointed. I could never recommend this tent

Love my Copper Canyon 10!! Feb 28, 2010
Even though I didn't buy the tent from Amazon, I thought that maybe I should leave my review.
I had been doing research for months for a new tent as I was to be attending my first Burning Man event in August of '09. Every time I searched for a tent, I kept going back to this one for some reason. The size of it was enormous, which extra space is what I needed since I was going to be in the desert for 8 days, and I could put all of my camping gear inside and still have some room for friends to hang out in my tent. Set up was extremely easy for one person as well. The tent is HEAVY if you aren't expecting that, but after setting it up a few times I didn't mind. Most of the weight is in the poles which to me is a sign of quality. I camp mainly in the warmer months so I can't say how well it works in the winter, or in rain for that matter. I can tell you that every time I set it up after the Burning Man was over, I have enjoyed my tent very much!

Don't waste your money!!! Jan 29, 2010
I purchased this tent last summer. I had waited for a very long time to purchase a Eureka! and was really excited about using the tent. Since I live in Texas I purchased extra padding for under the tent. I didn't want any chance of puncturing the floor. I also purchased the Eureka! groundcover. I received the tent right before my camping trip and didn't set it up before hand. This is not a very good idea but I am a very experienced camper so I wasn't too worried about the set-up or anything. The first thing I noticed (and I still can't believe)was that the floor is same material as the walls -- yes TAFFETA! No polyethelene!!! I just don't understand how a company like Eureka! would put out a product like this. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I'm in the process of selling this tent and purchasing another.

Great tent, but one flaw. Jan 23, 2010
I just got back from a four day keys campout. I was worried about previous reviewers' comments about high winds since I knew we were getting a storm with about 30 mph winds on day 3. This tent worked wonderfully when used properly, except for one problem. I staked the tent as called for in the diagrams. That is the key for getting this tent to work in high winds. Stake down the guy lines attached to the fly diagonally from the corners. Then add guy lines on each tent wall running from cordura loop to cordura loop at the corners. Stake these to the ground halfway between the corners. The tent won't move a bit.
During the rainstorm, two things happened- we got water between the tent and the tarp under the tent and water kept coming down the door of the tent. No water got into the tent even though we left the corners of the windows open slightly in the corners for ventilation. The water between the tarp and tent bottom did come through eventually, but that was our fault. It only appeared to come through under our sleeping pads. We must have wicked it up, somehow. When we moved our sleeping pads, the water went away quickly, so it may have just been condensation.
Here's the flaw- The tent's fly sent water down the door face. Not much, but enough that if we went outside, we were going to get rain in the tent. We had positioned the tent so that the door was away from the approaching storm, but it didn't matter, the fly sent it's water down the tent face. Setting up a tarp won't help either, unless you can somehow attach the tarp to the tent under the fly. Otherwise it would still rain on the door. I'll just put down a towel inside the door to keep the water out. There's no where to put your shoes outside the tent to keep them dry without a vestibule. So you'll have to think up some way to keep shoes out of the weather in front of your tent. Maybe just bring them in and put them in a roughneck tote or on a towel or something.
Other thoughts- You could use this tent for a base camp tent for 3 people, cots and supplies for about a month and not feel cramped. It is that big. I wouldn't put more than about 4 people, plus gear in it, though. There's no vestibule; you would have to provide a tarped area for your gear in order to get six people in it. Buy real stakes- MSR groundhogs. Throw the ones that come with this tent in the trash, just like all the other stakes tent makers send with family tents. Get some good, non-stretch rope for your additional guy lines and leave them attached to the fly once you set them up. Get a floor liner, or buy a good polyethylene tarp and cut it 3" smaller than the tent on each side. We were in a hurry and didn't cut our tarp before going. We paid for it through a wettish floor.
