Customer Reviews
Horrible little tent
I spent one of the most miserable nights of my life in this tent. My daughter and I were camping on Current River and got caught in a strong rainstorm. The pitiful little excuse for a rainfly that this tent comes with is almost criminally negligent on Eureka's part. Any tent that doesn't offer a full-coverage rainfly is begging to leak.
Woke up with darn near an inch of water in the tent with us. Wet bags, wet clothes, wet us.
I hope to never have the misfortune of spending another night in a Eureka tent. At least not this one.
I got home and ordered a Columbia Hawk Ridge tent instead. It's made all the difference. Much superior in every single way.
I can't recommend this tent, unless you're planning on camping indoors.
Great Backpacking Tent!
I just took this tent on a three day backpack trip to above 12,000 ft. It was the perfect weight. It fit two people and two mid-sized dogs in it just fine. Nice and cozy! It faired very well against constant wind and rain. Bone dry inside! I would definately recommend this tent!
small and funny
I like to travel lite, this tend is perfect for that, you should be carefull with the instructions about the corners or you will get flooded, I love the exclamation symbol in the side of the tent.
Great for lite use
Just took this tent on a 7 day kayaking trip and it worked well for the most part.
We had many days of rain and on a few days the rain got heavy and the tent let some water seep through, not too much though.
The fly-out wings on the rain fly are a blessing and a curse. They are nice when its raining and you have gear you want to keep covered but don't want to bring in the tent. When you aren't in need of them they tend to get in the way when entering and exiting the tent and if the zipper is all the way down you have to crawl out in the narrow space to reach it when getting out. Kind of a pain....
The next problem is probably more of my own sloppiness and not specific to this tent. When it was raining I grabbed a bag of granola and took it back to the tent, I must have dropped a few crumbs and the next camp site I set it up at had a healthy fire ant population. That morning I woke up to ants all over the tent- how did they get in? They literally chewed holes through the tent, 6 in all. Never bring any food into your tent if there is even the possibility of ants being around.
So its a decent tent and pretty darn good when you consider the price but if you are going to be doing any serious treking, you might consider something else.
excellent fair-weather tent
i've owned this tent for 5 years now and have spent over 100 nights in it - i just got back from a month-long road/rafting trip this last week
it doesn't provide a lot of heat insulation, but i've used it successfully for snow camping, and it's amazing for summer and warm-weather camping. the mesh is excellent - it's tight enough to keep out even the smallest bugs, but thin enough that it doesn't degrade the view too much. i have no problems with rips or tears - the tent itself is a bit stretched out from usage, but not a problem. i've also received a number of compliments on the color scheme :)
the tent does not perform well in heavy rainfall. the seams are sealed, but under heavy rain its elastic tabs (whose purpose is not clear to me) wick moisture into the tent and puddles can accumulate. in light rainfall, if you stake the fly away from the tent itself and put a tarp down *inside* (not outside!) the tent, you will probably stay dry. i haven't tried it in heavy wind, but based on the design i suspect it's not great in high wind either
if you're looking for a serious four-season tent capable of heavy wind and rain protection - i would buy something else. otherwise, i recommend this affordable tent wholeheartedly
