 "Good Tent" 2008-07-31
By D. Harris (UT)
Tent sets up easily. The one thing I don't like it that the top half of the tent is mesh. Not sure if I want to take this tent when it is cold.

Also the floor is two pieces and it seems like it is the same fabric as the sides. I don't know how this will do if the ground is wet.



The rainfly is AWESOME!! I was looking for a tent that was reasonably priced with a good rainfly and this is the only tent I could find. When we took the tent camping I was expecting rain and looking forward to seeing how the tent did in wet conditions. Unfortunetly it never rained. I will just have to go again. The rainfly really goes all the way to the ground and does not touch the fabric of the tent. It should do well in the rain.



The tent will fit 3 persons or 4 kids. We had two people and all our gear and there was plenty of room.

 "Perfect tent for Dad and Lad!" 2009-10-28
By Randall L. Rudeen (Allen, Texas USA)
I purchased this tent for a Dad and Lad Scout campout this last weekend. I was able to get it from Academy marked down to $59.99. Felt I got a great deal. My son and I arrived at camp right at dusk and the tent went up easily and quickly, even in the dark. The temperatures reached the low 40s both nights and we stayed comfortable and dry. I love the extra pockets included for small gear storage. With two air mattresses and our gear, we probably couldn't have fit anyone else in the tent...but perfect for the two of us. I plan on buying cots for the next campout so we can store our stuff under them, thus creating more space.

 "Suprisingly disappointed" 2009-08-30
By Jonathan Brett
I have owned an 8 x 8 tent made by Eureka (Gander Mountain label) for about 8 years and it is an excellent tent. I also own a 7 x 8 tent made by Kelty which is also and excellent tent. I take great care of my tents as well. I bought this tent with great excitement, for two reasons: It was designed more like my Kelty tent, which I love, and because it had the Eureka name, which is considered to be a great name in tents.



After unboxing the tent, I set it up in no time at all. This tent sets up VERY EASY, just like my Kelty. After getting it set up and taking a closer look at the seams, etc., I discovered that there were about 2 inches of missing stitches along one of the seams. I accepted this as merely a mass-production flaw and I stitched it up. I REALLY wanted to keep this tent. The next day, I began examing the surface of the tent fabric a bit more and discovered a couple small holes that were obviously original holes (smooth edges). At this point I was becoming skeptical of whether this tent was REALLY any better than the cheap tents you can get at Walmart. I tried to ignore these flaws, becaust at this point, I still really wanted to keep this tent because of it's ease of set-up and it's great ventilation.



The next week I took this tent on our annual Canadian adventure into northern Ontario, to be used for interior kayak camping. It set up easily, It held up good in the rain, but not great, and everything went fairly well with it for 3 nights. At this point, I had planned on keeping it. Then, upon returning home,I unpacked it to dry it out more thoroughly, and I noticed that one of the metal ferrules had just fallen off the end of one of the fly rods. I was so disappointed, as I knew I could not justify keeping this tent.



It is my opinion, based on examining a LOT of tents, that this tent, as much as I want to say otherwise, is no better in quality than those that are half the price from Walmart or similar stores. From the crooked weak stitching, to the inferior fabric, to the horribly assembled rods, I saw no reason to pay twice as much as a similar tent.



Either Eureka quality has dramatically gone down over the years, or they are having their less expensive tents built by some inferior company, and selling them with the Eureka name. One thing is absolute, this tent was not near the quality of the one I bought years ago for about the same price, not even close. I am guessing that if I kept this tent, it wouldn't have lasted more than 2 years of regular camping. I returned it.



I would have given it 3 stars because that's what it is, and AVERAGE tent. However, because it cost twice as much as the same size AVERAGE tent from Walmart, I had to deduct 1 star. If you want an average tent that will perform just as good as this one, you can get one for half the price. If you want a high-quality tent for more money, look elsewhere. I wish I could recommend this tent but I cannot.

 "Great Value!" 2009-07-21
By M. Olivas (Virginia)
In the past I rarely tent camped -- just two backpack tenting experiences (on Sado Island for Earth Festival), two car camping expeditions (in Yellowstone, then Malibu) and one week living in a platform tent while working at a Girl Scout Camp in high school.



So I was nervous about committing to a tent.



I read all kinds of reviews of mass-produced tents and higher-end tents. I'd decided that if I couldn't get a higher-end tent (a Kelty, an REI or a Eureka) at a good price I'd go with a mass-produced 4-person Quest Eagle's Peak at Dick's for [..]



I do energy work and thought "Why not use Law of Attraction for the perfect tent?"



So I wrote in my journal "I'd like the Eureka Tetragon 5 for [..] or less or even better."



The next day after lunching with my friends, I rushed to Dick's b/c I had to get up the road.



Imagine my excitement when I saw the Eureka Tetragon 8 for [..]! An unadvertised special!



It's a breeze to put up and take down, and b/c I am a camping wussy, I am happy to say it fits my full-size air-mattress with tons of room for my boyfriend (6" 4"') and me and our gear.



We didn't get the predicted rain, but am confident that it will do well.



Am considering getting some polyfil for underneath from Lowe's.



Very very happy!

 "Great tent for the money" 2009-06-05
By Brian Almonrode
Having a brand new Tiger Cub and the first of many camping trips coming up this summer a new tent was in order. After reviewing many sites such as EMS, REI, I decided on a four person, 3 season tent.



The Tetragon offers a few of the most important features for me:

- Polyester construction - no nylon means longer life

- Easy setup - think Tiger Cub helper - only 2 poles!

- Desperate fly - passed the garden hose rain test with flying colors

- Right height - my 48" tall son can stand in the middle

- Light weight - not a backpacking tent but easily carried in my ruck sack



Overall, very pleased with this tent - costs a bit more than some Coleman or other large brands, but for me buying a tent from a tent company is important.



Recommend buying the footprint and the correct stakes for you anticipated soil type - this tent doesn't come with them (and shouldn't). Eureka did lose one star for the slightly lower quality stuff sacks - there's no drawstring button (the little spring-loaded clip) to keep the tent in and because the tent poles keep the rolled (or stuffed) length a bit too wide.



Highly recommend despite the 2 VERY minor issues above.

 "Super easy setup!" 2009-05-08
By Virginia Newcomb (Kansas City, MO)
I ordered this tent because I need a tent I can set it up by myself. It was so easy to set up the very first time. The two poles set up first and then, beginning at the bottom, the tent is easily snapped onto the poles. Lots of ventilation for warm weather camping, yet the fly that goes over the whole thing keeps rain out. I really love this tent.

 "King water proofing" 2009-08-24
By Michael A. Campaner
I too waited for actual use before a review. Went to Skinners Falls, Sullivan County, NY this weekend. The setup was relatively easy and the storage nets that come with this tent are more useful than I thought. The best part....We were hit with torrential thunderstorms that did not let up for hours. The rain created a pool in front of this tent roughly 4 inches high (I waded into the tent), even with the mini-moat that was carved around the perimter. This tent did not leak at all! There was some perspiration higher at the seams (about 6 in high) but no leakage at all. There was water sloshing around the outside of the walls but with the nifty "bathtup design", it stood up like a champ. I highly recommend this tent. It is pricey but now you know why.

 "Good Ventilation, Amazing waterproofing" 2009-07-20
By J. Kempe (Raritan, NJ)
I wanted to withhold reviewing this item until I really was able to test it. The first few times i used it it was sunny 70 degree days, any tent would be great for that.



Well, this past weekend provided a test from hell. I had to set up the tent by myself for the first time and it took all of 15 minutes total, if that; very straightforward. The day was incredibly hot and I need an afternoon nap, so I put the ventilation system to the test. The four large windows and the small lower vent really moved the air well. Even with the direct sun it was not much warmer in the tent than outside of it. That night the rain came. Flash floods lightning, and wind. It was quite a storm. The entire camping area was underwater. Two sites down from us the people had water to their doors of their car. Luckily we were uphill from them, but not out of the water. We were in about 2" of water, but the tent didn't leak a drop. It felt like we were on a water bed there was so much water under and around the tent, but it held its own and kept us dry. People were amazed that we had no water, they all swore they were ditching their old tents and buying one of these.



All told, this tent is great. Size wise it is great for my family and me, not obnoxiously over-sized and manageable for one person set up, but also big enough inside to stretch out.



I wholeheartedly recommend this Eureka Tent.

 "Bummer avoided" 2009-07-10
By Ron (Northern California)
Lesson learned; you should always set up a tent before a trip. This tent came with damaged support poles bent at a couple of the ferrels. However, the tent was able to be set up and withstood the stress of three days. It performed flawlessly. The pluses: (a) easy, intuitive set-up, (b) spacious, adjustably-ventilated interior, (c) lots of cleverly located storage "pockets" and (d) durable, well-constructed seams, zippers and materials. The best part of this purchase was the exchange of this tent with a new replacement at no cost to me within a week. I didn't think twice about getting another tent.

 "Great Tent" 2009-06-28
By E. Biedenbach (North Canton, OH USA)
This tent is really easy to set up. I set it up by myself in about 10 minutes. I haven't had a chance to test it in a rain storm yet but other than that I think it is a great tent. Make sure you check out Eureka's website for care instructions for your tent because it says that the tent should not be stored in the bag that came with it. I e-mailed the company about this and they said that it should be stored out of the bag someplace like your basement or garage on a shelf or someplace where it will be kept off the ground. I don't understand the reasoning in not storing it in the bag but I do know you should never put a tent away wet.

 "Not for old folks" 2009-06-28
By Barbara Cox (Gainesville, FL United States)
Once this tent was up (with the help of a park ranger), it was great. Getting it up all by myself was a nightmare. I'm a 77-year-old woman who travels alone a lot (well, not really ... my dog is always with me), and if there's stuff to be done, I have to do it myself. The main problem with this tent was the flexible, jointed poles. After I assembled the two poles, the first challenge was getting them through the canvas loops. They kept catching at the joints and pretty soon I had a rumpled mess. When I got that straightened out, I had to settle one end of each pole into the receiving hole at one corner of the tent, then go around to the other corner, bend the pole and get the other end in its receiving pole. Easier said than done. The first end kept popping out, leaving me right back where I started. In 30 minutes, I was sweating, yelling bad words, and scaring my dog. I'd made no progress. Mercifully, a ranger came along, and we did the job together. Once the tent was up, it was totally great. However, in the course of my struggles, one of the fiberglass rods split.



I do not have the courage to go through this again. Maybe I could master the process, but I don't want to even try it with a busted tent pole. Old ladies like me should probably stick to RVs and leave tent camping to their grandchildren.

 "to many side screens" 2009-11-14
By island girl (arizona)
this tent again has to many side screens. first of all, when the wind blows cold air comes under the rain cover. and dust blows into the tent. i had a problem with this tent, defective stiches and zipper defect the rods are terrible it only last 1 night of camping and the rods broke....don't recommend this tent.

 "Buy Real Tent Stakes!" 2009-11-09
By C. Fenley (Newark, DE United States)
My wife and I just got back from a trip with this tent and it worked great. It did not rain, but it was very windy the first night (gusting up to 25 mph). We did not use the rain-fly rods because the side windows do not have a zipper-flap to 'close' them. So, we just allowed the rain-fly to seal the windows, which it did quite nicely. Temperatures were in the mid 20s minus wind-chill, but we were comfortable in the tent. I don't know how this tent would've held up if we'd had a driving rain along with the wind, but frankly, we wouldn't have stayed in those conditions with ANY tent. This tent could sleep four adults elbow-to-elbow, but we had two twin airbeds to either side (for us) and two large dog beds between the beds. There was still plenty of room for boots, leashes and such at the foot of our beds, and I had a regular sized backpack, heavy jacket, and clothes at the head-end of my airbed.



Finally, I absolutely recommend getting real tent stakes, even those plastic yellow stakes. The little metal stakes that come with this tent are going to be useless at a lot of camp sites.

 "Roomy Easy Set-up Tent" 2009-10-20
By Kathyabj (ohio usa)
I haven't camp in several years now that my sons are grown. I was looking for a tent that I could set-up with out any help. I'd say I found it! I set it up in less than 30mins. I'm sure I can do better the more I use it. I bought a twin mattress that converts to a king size. I still have room even with the king. So I'd say for me and my dog I have plenty of space for storage, sleeping, dressing and sitting in my oversized camp chair. It didn't rain so I can't comment on that. I think that 4 people could be comfortable in this tent, with some room to spare for gear. I'm not impressed with the stakes that were included. The one's included are a joke, if the ground is soft they won't stay put. I bought metal one's that are much better. When it's all packed up, it's lightweight and doesn't take up much space. Very good buy for the money!

 "works well, good value" 2009-10-05
By E. Meshack-Hart (Portland, OR)
It did leak a little from the bottom seams, but this was without any sealer or liner placed. Possibly would be fine with it. Otherwise this is an exceptional tent. light, very roomy/airy, yet sturdy, and oh yes, stylish too :-) You can't beat the price.

 "Disregard anything less than a 5 star review." 2009-10-02
By David A. Geers (Cleveland, OH)
This is the best tent you will be able to purchase under 100 bucks.



I have had mine for this entire camping season and has held up through the worst of weather nature has thrown at it.



First off, I have to make a major point, this isn't an all season, $300+ tent.



It is very airy inside and will keep you nice and cool on the hottest of days. Anyone who was complaining about the cold, try getting a warmer sleeping bag. With the fly off, it is drafty yes, because it is suppose to be. Slap the fly on and this tent keeps the wind off you very well. A tent isn't a miracle heated room, but this one will keep you cozy if you have the proper sleeping gear to go with it.



Set up is a breeze. 2 poles and 8 clips gets you set up, 2 more poles, 4 hooks and 4 velcro strips and your rain fly is on, takes less than 5 minutes. Like any other "regular" tent, yes, the poles will snag the guides, so don't force them through.



I have no clue how anyone could snag the zippers on the weather guards. Its 2x thicker than the tent walls, you would have to force it between the teeth of the zipper to get it stuck.



You can easily fit 2 queen sized air mattresses and all your gear in the dome, and at 6'2", there is plenty of room to get changed inside. I have fit 4 adults, 2 adults and 2 mountain bikes, or 3 grown men inside with room to spare! And the double front door is nice to not rustle sleeping campers on the other side of the tent by stepping on their feet if you have to get up in the middle of the night.



A can of seam sealer on all seams and this baby took on 3 days and nights of constant hard and heavy rain in the Allegheny foothills outside of Wisp, MD. Out of 4 tents, I had the only dry one! The only moisture was condensation on the walls. This isn't a high end tent folks, that will happen, and you will have to break down and spend that extra 7 bucks on a can of seam sealer and hit those "pre-sealed" seams. After that, she'll hold up to some nasty weather.



In all fairness, there is one flaw for this about 60 buck tent... it is a pain to get back in the bag. You really gotta roll it down tight and bag it first before anything else and once you rip the seam on the tent bag, your kinda out of luck. SHUCKS



This tent is amazing for the price. If you have common sense and don't expect this inexpensive tent to compare and function like those costing hundreds more, you will be more than pleased with your purchase.
