 "This tent is great!" 2009-09-16
By Scotter Bob (Illinois)
I purchased this tent back in February after reading many reviews and doing a lot of research. I wanted a tent for occasional car camping with my wife and 2 kids. This is a nice size tent. It is very tall - 7 feet in the center. It might be crowded with four adults, though. It is super easy to put up. You could probably do it with one person, but it would be a bit awkward. I can't tell you whether it leaks or not since it hasn't rained when we've been in it. It wouldn't matter anyway - we'd head to a motel. The tent is very high quality - no flaws or pieces missing. It is well constructed. When you're done, the tent rolls up easily and goes back in the bag with the poles and everything - no problem.

 "It Leaks" 2009-07-22
By TLP (Denver, CO)
After a lot of research, I decided on this tent because of the many favorable reviews I saw and Eureka's reputation for good tents. I am now tent shopping again (this one is two weeks old and has not gone on a single camping trip yet)...



Simply put: where the floor of the tent (the bottom dark blue) meets the wall (the light blue part) - this is a "bathtub floor" as Eureka and other reviewers refer to it. Nice because there is no ground level seam to leak during rain. But - it does leave a nice horizontal seam all the way around the tent (where the light and dark blue meet) that is not covered by the fly and IS NOT factory sealed.



We sealed the seams of this tent twice with three tubes of McNett. It rained - the floor of the tent was wet.



In spending a substantial amount of time on the phone with Eureka today, they apparently feel it is the job of a $6 tube of McNett to make sure you stay dry, not the job of a $250+ tent. I would have thought the seam sealing was a secondary safeguard, not a mandatory requirement - apparently Eureka is banking their reputation on a 3rd party rather than choosing to provide a quality product. We have always had REI tents until now, never sealed any of them and have always stayed dry. Will never buy another Eureka - they simply do not stand behind their product.

Just came back from Grand Canyon.Tent was simply perfect.Easy set up ,best ventilation lots of space.LOVE IT!!!

 "FirstTimeCamper" 2008-07-18
By GoCamping (MA, USA)
I spent endless hours online looking for a good tent. This was my first time camping and I was not sure at all what type of tent to buy. There is simply too much to chose from. I was basically looking for a reasonably price 3 season tent with good rain protection. Eureka SUnrise had the best reviews and I decided to go with this one.



We went for 2 nights camping at Acadia National Park in Maine. I tried to put it together myself alone but it was too hard to do it. I had to ask a friend to help me out. WIth 2 persons it is very easy to put up. The feature i liked the best was the 4 windows. It was a bit hot during the day and the cross ventilation kept the tent inside cool. At night it got a bit cold so we zipped the windows and after that it was nice and cozy inside. It did not rain so can't comment on that aspect. It was easy to fold it and took a lot less time. The poles are a little heavy so if you have the $$$ then I would suggest to go with light weight aluminum pole tent.



I gave this tent 4 stars because the tent description said that even a single person can put it up but I found it very hard to do it especially there is no way a single person can put the rainfly by himself. The tent is 7 foot hight at the center and the rainfly has to go over it. You have to put the rainfly on the ground flat first, put the poles in it and then lift it and put it on top of tent. It is a huge rainfly and if its windy it is almost impossible for a single person to do it.



Overall I am glad that I purchased this tent. However at I paid $210 for this tent and not it is selling for $174 :(. I would say it is a good deal.

We went through four different tents and this one was by far the best to set up and the space available for everyone is great! My daughter's favorite part are the cup holders and shelves just her size.

 "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.

 "Great tent for Scouting!!" 2009-11-28
By Patrick Garrett (Decatur, IL USA)
I bought this tent this fall and used it three times in September & October. We had rain and cold every time it was used and the tent performed great. At least a couple of the storms were pretty heavy rain. But, over those three weekends, we saw lots of rain. Absolutely no leaks - the inside of the tent stayed dry each time.



The tent is very easy to set up. It could be done by one person if you knew what you were doing (meaning not your first time), but sets up very quickly with two people. Each time we set up, it was up in just a few minutes and we were putting gear inside. And, once it was up, it stayed up - no problems. It definitely stands up by itself just fine, but you'll want stakes to keep it in place.



I'm 6'1" and can stand up in the very center of the tent. Definitely plenty of room for my son (who is 8) and I plus all our gear, and my cot is pretty large.



At this time, I don't have any negatives to report. We've been very pleased with the tent and would highly recommend.

 "Very good tent for car camping" 2009-11-09
By J. Lucas (Simpsonville, SC)
I was looking for a good three season tent that would fit my wife and I, our dog, and our stuff. We've used this tent a few times and have had no problems. We've had it in rather strong wind, rain, and in weather down in the 30's.........no problems. Roomy enought for our queen air mattress, a dog pillow, and still has plenty of room room for our bags. Tall enought to stand up in to get dressed (very nice) and some spare room for the tent heater. The corner and roof organizers are a nice touch as well. Makes it easy to keep track of flashlights, wallet, keys, etc. All of the stuff that usually went missing in our other tents.

Setup is pretty easy, two main poles and two rainfly poles......up within 3~5 minutes but requires 2 people. The floor material seems pretty substantial (something I was looking for becasue of the dog) and the seam construction appears good as well. Had a good rain the first night we used it and didn't have any leaks. Only drawback are the tent stakes.....plastic. I haven't even tried to use them. Go and get some metal stakes and save yourself the trouble. Once you do that you're all set.

Overall we're very pleased with this product!

 "Pole broke first time" 2009-11-03
By P. K. Price (San Diego, CA USA)
First of all, the package turned up battered and ripped, which I wasn't happy about. Given that, I thought I'd better test the tent by putting it up in my back yard. It was a good thing that I did because one of the elastic chords that holds the pole together snapped immediately. I can probably fix it using one of my old tent poles, but that's pretty bad for a brand new $200 tent. I've been camping for years and never had one of these things break before. Obviously, I am not a happy camper.

 "Good and dry...mostly" 2009-09-20
By E. Nilsen (Great NW)
I have had this tent for a couple of years and used it on several occasions. It's easy to set up, even for one person. This last labor day was the first time it has seen any sort of rain. It rained heavy a couple of nights. I had a very small puddle the next morning from leaving the low vent open too much...oops. It didn't bother me since I was the only one in the tent and kept my air mattress on the back wall. Several others in our party were getting soaked and had to tarp over their tents. I zipped up the low vent till it was only open about an inch+, problem solved. Good thing becaused it really came down the next night. I stepped out of my tent in the morning and the ground was squishy outside the door but tent was dry inside. I did notice some dampness in the corner,under my air mattress when I was packing it up. I noticed rain had been collecting on the tarp under my tent. Shame on me for not rolling it under far enough. I don't think it would have been damp if not for my mistake.



I don't know about fitting five people in this tent but I have fit two twin air mattress, duffle bags at the feet and still had a small path to stand and walk between them.



I have noticed that the poles are starting to get bent at the peak, where the metal sleeves end on the fiberglass. I know the poles are 11mm and I'm hoping their thickness will help them hold the pressure.

 "Very Happy with this Tent" 2009-06-12
By John Krehnovi (Twinsburg, OH United States)
I've used this tent 3 times now and I am very pleased with it. I actually don't have any complaints. It's been easy for me to put up. Maybe just a little more difficult on my own but easy with another person. Everything is sturdy. We experienced heavy rain in the first night within our tent (not really any wind). The tent kept us completely dry. Not one leak. I may have taken this for granted until we drove around the campground and saw just about all the other tent campers drying out their stuff the next day. I have nothing bad to say. The reviews I read were accurate for me. I'd say this is well worth the extra money for a good quality tent.
