About Eureka!
Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka’s long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.

The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.

In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.

For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.

Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian.

Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.

Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

Domes and Tunnels
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.

Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.

Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

About Eureka!
Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka’s long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.

The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.

In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.

For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.

Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian.

Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.

Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

Domes and Tunnels
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.

Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.

Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

 "Thin floor leaks everywhere" 2009-09-01
By Teresa Gallagher (Shelton, CT USA)
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?

 "Very Large - Good Quality - Nice Design" 2009-08-28
By G. Wade (Brush Prairie, Wa United States)
After a miserable & shocking experience, waking with water dripping on us through our used Coleman cabin tent, we tossed it into the garbage & quickly researched our way to the Eureka brand name. With the help of the great reviews on this website among others online, we picked this tent for our family, feeling confident that the quality was worth the cost. We have put this tent to the test a couple of times now & are very pleased with our purchase!



Here is a quick review of what we have found:



Pros:

1) Great size for a family of 4, gear + 100lb dog

2) Easy setup the second & subsequent times - the first time is a little slow. I am 5 ft tall & can put it together alone except for the 4 velcro attachments on the front and the back of the fly. It is not a dome tent or a popup - so, for those who expect a super easy setup will be in for some shock - we have primarily owned cabin tents so for us, it isn't a problem to work a little harder to get the benefits of a cabin tent.

3) GREAT ventilation, windows on all sides & exposed, unlike a dome tent

4) Good Quality seams & material on tent walls, fly, awning & roof

5) The awning is wonderful & large - as mentioned by another reviewer, the instructions are not clear on how to install it so we just attached it to the fly on the three front points, put the poles in at an angle & set up the guy lines to secure, then zipped up the side of the fly & pulled the middle guy line over the top to create a bit of a dip in the awning so water could run off.



Cons:

1) It is larger than most campground tent pads that we have found. Arrive early to the campground or scope out a campsite in advance, just in case you won't fit - bring a measuring tape to double check!

2) The floor is made out of the same material as the tent, it seems quite thin for flooring material

3) We wished it had more accessible pockets - our old Coleman had a bunch of pockets that were reachable from our sleeping bags so I could put a flashlight & my eyeglasses in it, to access at any time. The pockets with the Eureka are on the center divider & then there is a separate one that we can't figure out where it is supposed to hang at so we hang it off the window hooks.



Suggestions:

1) As with all new tents, the manufacturer recommends to seam seal the tent prior to the first useage. It is an inexpensive & easy thing to do but it takes time & effort to get it done.

2) Definately use a tarp UNDER the tent flooring, I would not want to put that directly on the ground.

3) Carry a measuring tape with you on your camping trips - you'll want to check the tent pad size before you start putting this up!



Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase & we would recommend it to those who like the cabin style tent

 "Nice tent, but not as good as my one" 2009-08-04
By M. Ladach (Livonia, MI)
This tent has a lot of space and room inside, even with the divider wall put up. An average size person can stand up inside. This is good for when you change your clothes. I like the opposite two door feature. The sky-light in the rain-fly is okay, but is is not very clear for viewing the night time sky.



The divider wall is removable (as opposed to other tents that only roll up), and with the wall in place you can have two separate sleeping rooms, or a sleeping room and a sitting area. With the wall down, a queen-size mattress looks small, so there is plenty of room for a king. Be careful if you plan on putting camp chairs or table inside - you will risk ripping the floor unless you put a mat under them.



The awning that is included is pretty much worthless. A decent breeze can cause it to collapse rather easily with only one guy line on each pole, but it did a bit better with two guy lines on each. If it starts to rain, FORGET IT; take it down immediately. The attachment of awning causes water to pool up on the rain-fly and on the awning itself. Zipping the corners of the rain-fly does not help since their is no way to secure the rain-fly over the center pole with the awning attached. The instructions say to lower one of the awning poles in the rain, but this does not help to allow the water to run off the rain-fly.



In the rain you need to guy-line the rain-fly, otherwise water will run off on the windows and find its way inside the tent. This works out okay, but the guy-lines are brown and hard to see so they become a potential tripping hazard.



Purchase a good set of stakes before you put up the tent. The "stakes" that are included are a joke - they are 1/8-in diameter pins that have little, if any, holding power.



All the zippers on the tent are plastic. This is probably to keep the tent light-weight, but this is not a tent to be hauled around much. Metal zippers would be much better and eliminate the weak-point that basically renders most tents unusable.



I was disappointed with the floor. It is very thin, and is the same material that is used on the walls. I bought the 3x tent pad to put beneath it, but a 10-mill tarp would work better.



Overall, I was much happier with my Eureka Sunrise 11 that has proven to be durable and reliable. It has seen many a camping trip and apart from bent poles and worn-out plastic zippers is still in good shape. If it was not for the worn zippers coming apart, I would still be using it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Copper Canyon 1312 may last as long.

 "Great For The Money" 2009-07-28
By Leslie R. Becker
I have owned Eureka tents my whole camping life, so when my 22 year old tent was more sealer than fabric I decided it was time to get a new one. However, to replace it with the same model would have cost me close to $650, so after some research I decided on the Copper Canyon 1312.



It is fairly easy to assemble, and although I could do the old tent myself, I doubt I could do this alone. Do not assemble it for the first time in the dark! It is tricky the first few times! But once you get it it's cake.



The floor is far thinner than old Eureka's, but so far (three trips in) it has done fine. We have been rained on and it held up well. I did seal the non-taped seams, as should be done with all tents.



The awning is great if it's raining to provide a dry spot just outside the tent, but if no rain is forecast then skip it -- it's just not worth the trouble!



The provided stakes are flimsy but few tents these days come with gooed ones anyway. Buy a good set for not a lot of money before you go!



I would recommend this tent!

 "Lasted 3 days" 2009-07-14
By littlebigfis (san diego)
Camped in Santa Barbara with the family last week for 3 days. Put the tent together before hand to make sure everything worked. Directions and assembly were a breeze for one person. Design was thoughtful. The tent fit 4 twin air beds and one full with room to spare. The divider was awesome. Kids used their own side and duly trashed it. Wife and I were able to keep our side tidy because of the separation and separate zipper doors.



Bad Stuff (Chinese crap factor (not sure if it was made in china but ... you get the idea): Zipper on one of windows was broken off by kids wrestling on the first day (ok fine, they are crazy no biggie). Biggest problem was after camping during take down, a critical tent pole flexi-cord crappy thing or whatever you call the springy cord thingy fell apart - just uncoiled and split rendering new tent useless. Thankfully the camping trip was done. So far, returning it to amazon has been no problem. UPS showed up next day and carted the disaster off.

 "Copper Canyon 10 is a great tent at a good price" 2009-10-02
By Alonso's Ghost (Northeast USA)
We bought this tent after reviewing many via professional and owner reviews. It has lived up to the positive hype. Easy to set up and take down. Nice and roomy. Dry. Sturdy. Did not have much trouble with the door zipper, as some other reviewers did, but you do have to watch for it catching. Bought a good set of tent stakes - the ones it comes with will work, but they are a pretty cheap variety. Had plenty of room for a queen mattress, gear, and a chair, with room to spare. The power port let me run a cord in without worry about water or bugs. Well ventilated - is not a winter style tent. Everything fit back in the storage bag with little trouble. Looks good to. For the money, hard to beat.

 "Roomy, airy, and comfortable" 2009-09-18
By Cedric Krumbein (Seattle, WA)
Overall we like the tent. I'm very tall, and I can still stand upright inside. It's roomy, airy, and comfortable. On the negative side, it's heavy--don't try to carry it a long distance. It's also harder than expected to set up. I've set up lots of tents, but with this one I had to read the directions carefully. But once I got the hang of it, it was fine. Overall we're quite satisfied.

 "Nice tent with little issues" 2009-08-26
By H. Kupfernagel
When I used the tent I really liked it. The fact you can take the roof completely off and see the stars at night is amazing. Although you are protected by a mosquito net. The tent is also very big but it will not fit 5 Persons as it is stated in the description. It will work with 4 people but I would say to would better fit 3 people.



I did not liked the fact that the material that was used for the floor of the tent is the same as it is used for the wall. It's extremely thin so you can feel every little rock and blade of grass. So I would not be surprised if the floor material is the first one that will tear open. So I suggest to by a mat or something to put under the tent before you set it up.



Setting up the tent was easy and took around 20 minutes. It's not too difficult to get into the bag after used.



I would buy the tent again.

 "Satisfied" 2009-08-24
By Satisfied Target Fan (Tupelo, MS)
My husband and I haven't acutally gone camping in the tent yet, but we did set it up in the backyard. It is very roomy and looks great. It is made well. My only concern is that the bottom floor is constructed with the same material as the sides of the tent. I am used to having a tarp bottom. We may purchase a tent pad to lay beneath the tent just to make sure there are no leaks or punctures to the bottom. The fabric was pulled pretty tight to fit the poles but we are hoping the fabric will stretch out after some use. Overall, we are very satisfied as of now. It is a very handsome tent!

 "very happy" 2009-07-22
By butterfly
we bought this tent last year and used it 3 times so far. We are only 2 and the tent is big enough for us, we put our queen size bed inside and have room to walk around, my husband also fits his luggage in.The windows are big, ours doesn't have the zipper at the bottom though but didn't matter. Easy to assemble be careful when handling the poles, the elastic broke in one pole but we fixed it with no problem.

We love it
