This is definitely a "drive in" sort of tent. Even hauling it from a parking lot to your site is an effort. As others have noted, it's also big enough to mention when you're checking into a campground. Given that, I enjoy most aspects of this tent. I used it four times over the summer, in various kinds of weather, and it stayed upright and kept me dry. The aluminum frame is heavy, but also strong. The height and near-vertical walls make it easy to move around in, and the included divider is great when you have children. The windows are huge, and there are plenty of places to hang gear. Its size does attract attention.
One night, during heavy rain, I accidentally had the ground tarp entending beyond the floor of the tent so it caught the water and collected it under the floor. The next morning I felt like I was walking on a waterbed, but I was remarkably dry.
Stuff to keep in mind: I am 5'7" and setting it up by myself was barely achievable. In heavy rain remember to zip the power port closed. The awning is not practical in rainy situations, as it simply collects water (no matter how much you adjust the slant).

Wow...I love this tent. I purchased a platform for our regular sized queen air mattress and put it inside this tent and used two medium sized storage tubs stacked on top of each other on each side of the bed and it was like I was right at home. The tent we owned before this was a Columbia and it was not insulated well; it took 2 heaters to partially heat this tent and it was much smaller than the Copper Canyon. This tent was heated by one small electric heater and we had to turn it off during the night because it got so hot. I love the fact that my husband and I can both get dressed while standing up at the same time! We decided to purchase 4 moving blankets to line the floor of the tent to cut down on dirt and sand and they worked perfect. It also helped with keeping the floor warm and our dogs nails from possibly tearing any holes. If I had one complaint, it would be that the "skylight" is just silly...it's small and blurry. But...other than that...this tent is perfect. I timed my husband and he put it up in 18 minutes by himself!

If you are the kind of camper who has always considered your old, straight-walled 8X10 to be "pretty large", get one of these. It's more like a hotel room than anything else. If your party is four or less, you'll find room for everybody and all your gear.
You'll also find a tent that's easy to set up. Really. Even the first time. I set it up myself in about 30-35 minutes, including time to figure everything out. With all the numerous, large windows and doors open, it's like having the outside in. In warmer weather, the view of the trees and night sky above is a treat. In colder or wet weather, with the rain fly on and windows adjusted for conditions, it's snug and dry. The ventilation is amazing.
There are convenient and effective storage spaces. There are two large "D" doors, and right by them, two zippered small "doors" for power cables, SatRadio antennas or whatever. You can divide the interior in two, sort of. The divider hangs loosely, but probably will not be used by most people anyway.
This tent's first trip was to Mammoth Lakes' New Shady Rest Campground. Except for the occassional light traffic noise and the booming voice of the High School Friday Night Football's announcer next door, it's like being in the deep woods miles from anything. For a few minutes, we wondered if LA's Pershing Square, with it's expounders, had gone camping. The wilderness with McDonald's a ten minute walk away. Pretty nice. The camp host, Dave, stands up there with the very best, too. If you're there next year, and he's there, you won't be disappointed. Most of Mammoth is the same way.
Our party of three went away for 4 nights. There was one of those fierce Eastern Sierra Fall Windstorms before I got back, but the tent showed no signs of stress or strain. No guy-outs even. Things left on the table outside were blown around, but the Eureka had no problem. Not to worry with Dave on duty, though. He had my cell number, and said, true to his word, he would call if anything adverse happened.
And this tent is nice to look at, too. With the dappled sunlight coming through the copper and creme-colored panels, it's downright pleasant. The Eureka designers and engineers really did their work well with the Copper Canyon series. A Home Run.
Nearly any camper, experienced or not, should like this one.

As you will read in several reviews, DO NOT use the stakes that are sent with this tent. I did during my inital setup in my yard and ended up with a shredded tent that blew away after steady winds. I can not understand how Eureka can sell their tents with these stakes. They are simple smooth wire 1/8" diameter metal and will not hold your tent down in wind. Make sure you purchase good quality (even the plastic ones at Walmart are okay) stakes and tie the tent down as suggested. Again, several hundred dollars for a tent and they can't provide proper stakes?
So I purchased a new rain fly for about 88 bucks from Eureka, patched the holes in the screen and will say I love the tent, just a shame it doesnt look very new!

I had high expectations of this tent since our last Eureka was amazing and kept us dry for 15 years. But our first vacation was a disaster. First, after a night of rain, we awoke to discover the front corner had collapsed after the awning had acted to collect a huge amount of rainwater and sink to the ground. We couldn't even get out the front door. After exiting out the back door, dropping the awning pole, and releasing all the trapped water, the corner sprung back up, which was good. We were sure it was broken in half.
But then the floor, which is ludicrously thin (you can almost see through it), leaked water up all over the place, not just seams or corners. Prior to camping, we had coated the bottom with Thompson's deck sealer, which we had done to our previous Eureka tent, but it didn't seem to help. Yes, we had a drop cloth under the tent, but the rain was heavy enough, and we were on a slope, that some water managed to run between the drop cloth and the tent floor in places. In all these places the water just came up right through the thin fabric.
Our last Eureka tent was once subjected to floating in 4" of water for half an hour with kids inside walking around. After the ordeal, I was amazed to find only a couple drops of water inside the tent at one of the corners. What happened to that level of quality? This tent looks attractive in the ads, but if it rains heavily it will NOT keep you dry, and isn't that the whole point of a tent?
