This is the ultimate tent for campers or if you go on a trip in the wilderness. I went on a fly-in trip in Canada, although the weather was nice, if there was rain or wind, you would not get water in your tent, or rip this tent in the wind. It would last for 15 years of hard use! 3-5 people could fit in here! It is huge. 6 would be pushing the space if 1 person/air mattress was how you slept. There are small pockets along the side. It takes 2 people to set it up or take it down! Well worth the cost if you will use it a lot. It will pack up into one medium sized bag! A small bag for a huge tent! Great purchase.

When I was an Adult Leader with my son's Boy Scout Troop we had smaller versions of these tents for car camping. Our troop was fortunate enough to have dedicated backpacking and car-camping tents. They were pretty kid-proof. This tent goes up just as easy as the smaller versions and holds up in nasty weather when you need a tent. Our family had several large family style tents over the years and none of them could withstand a desert windstorm. This one could.
It has many tie-down points and is quite sturdy.
I bought this one in July 2009 a summer trip and it was perfect for luxury camping with two adults. I'm a bit over 6 feet and could stand upright in this tent. They say its for six people but we found it a nice fit for two with our car-camping Thermarest pads, carry-on luggage, and two folding chairs for sitting out afternoon rainstorms.
This thing has a big foot-print and we found it hard to find a site with a level area this big. It is only slightly less imposing in a campground than a Class "A" rv...

This tent was great. Very roomy. Not complicated to put up. It poured down rain and not a drop in the tent. Sleeps 4 with plenty of room. Green in color has you blending in with nature. Front and back door. Two hanging storage cubbies inside. No complaints here! Enjoy.

I don't usually give bad reviews, but I don't have much good to say about this tent. We bought this tent for our recent camping trip to Connemara, Ireland. We needed a large tent because we had to be able to fit our 11-week-old's playpen in it. We never got to sleep in it because the high winds (steady at 40 mph with gusts of up to 60 mph) in that area destroyed the tent within 5 hours. We did everything the manual said for high winds, but I guess it just isn't made for that kind of weather. The strange thing is all the other tents (cheap plastic or fiberglass poled tents) survived fine. It was probably due to the high, not-rounded, profile of the tent. One pole snapped in half, and all the others are permanently bent. Also one of the rings broke off. We're sending it back to get fixed, but the next time we go camping, we'll choose a campground that is more sheltered from the winds. I am disappointed though that this heavy duty tent broke when the cheap fiberglass and plastic tents survived.

I am a little obsessed at times, in a good way. I wont buy something for good until I have tried and researched as many alternatives as I can. I tried the Northface trailhead 6, a couple of Kelty Tents, and an REI base camp. All of these were fine tents, however the Eureka is the fastest tent I have ever set up, I can do it by myself in ten minutes without breaking a sweat. It is made out of ripstop nylon, something that is increasingly hard to find these days. I am 6'4 and can stand up perfectly in it.
One thing I would mention is that the floor saver is a little cheap, but other than that I love it.
I think it is a little tight for 6 people, but other than that this is the perfect tent. the Northface Trailhead 6 was a close second but a pain to put up.
