10 Best Eureka Tents (Review) in 2020

One of the tents that put Eureka on the map, their Timberline tent series has some serious value tucked away in here. While many users will say these aren’t of the same caliber that Eureka had twenty years ago, we would beg to differ. You run into the same issues most standard backpacking tents have: heavy, hard to set up. Even though it’s a pain, the included fiberglass poles are excellent and provide maximum stability to the tent body.

You also get a Eureka StormShield to pop over those poles, which also provides a little peak over the full front mesh window. Keeps rain out while leaving your view wide open. For a three-person sleeper, the price can get a little bit steep, though after you get your first use out of this, you’ll understand why they charge what they do. Quality over quantity, every day of the week.

Eureka, it’s the solution to your large-scale camping needs (we couldn’t resist at least one pun). These tent giants are the reason we’re here, and this Copper Canyon Six-Person really rocks the boat. First of all, the center spire is 7 feet tall, so you’ll be able to freely walk around, even if you’re a taller lad. Setup is a breeze, and with only six fiberglass poles, it’s a solid construction that’s ready for every trip on your planner. You get some pretty good air circulation through the specific roof design, but it comes with a catch.

That same design leaves room for rainfall to leak through the roof. You’ll either have to invest in a waterproof spray, or get a proper cover for the top of it. Apart from that, the only other gripe we have is that the carrying bag is rather rubbish. You’ll get a killer set of floor space, a great price, and Eureka’s excellent customer service in case you run into any problems. Be sure to also check out or large camping tents review for more great items like this. 

Depending on where you’re headed or what climate you live in, this K-2 XT Eureka Tent could be the most optimal tent for you. Designed to withstand wind, rain and snow, this specifically designed tent offers fantastic resistance against the elements. It’s a touch bit heavy to carry onto the site, but once it’s set up, it’s not going to budge for anything. You get designated gear storage space, and a separate vestibule to prevent you bringing the rain and wind into the main chamber.

Once you’re in there, you’ll have to crawl through everything: there’s not a lot of standing room with a peak of only four feet. With a sizable amount of floor space and durable nylon exterior (with a weather resistant coating), you’ll be able to stash you and two of your best mates in here. Fight the elements, extend your camping trip, and get on with a little help from Eureka.

You want to hit the trail, but some of Eureka’s most expensive tents make it difficult. No matter, you’ll be all set to rock and roll with a party of two. This Spitfire Two Person Eureka Tent gives you some handy internal storage mesh compartments, and a lot of air flow to prevent sweating and issues when night falls. One of our favorite features is the simple setup: takes only minutes, and gives you a sturdy, durable set of protection against the rain. On top of that, the internal flooring is designed to keep rainfall and moisture out.

With all that out of the way, just know that this isn’t a terribly tall tent. You’ll find yourself army crawling through it, since the peak barely reaches over three-and-a-half feet tall. While it’s lightweight when you’re travelling to the campsite, this pop up tent lacks on wind resistance. Breathable, but without a second line of defense against Mother Nature. If it’s you and one other hitting the trail, you’ll both be comfortable as can be. Our handy guide to the blow up tents features more great products like this. 

This one was sa tricky one to use, and not for the reasons you’d think. We were ecstatic with the breathability, meaning you wouldn’t endure those sweat-soaked camping pillows in the morning, but that also meant absolutely no wind resistance on a breezy night. External materials used make this an absolutely durable tent; no problems with tearing or frayed sections, which is rather nice.

Midori 3 Eureka Tent is ultra easy to set up, which is always nice. This pop up tent has a fiberglass pole running along the top like a spine, meaning nothing’s going to take it down. You get a wide D-style door and vestibule area, so you can shake off the rain and leaves before crawling into your sleeping bag. While it’s marketed as a three-person tent, that only works if you don’t bring any gear with you (which makes no sense). We recommend only fitting two people in at a time.

If you’re hitting the outdoors for the night, the Apex Waterproof Backpacking Tent is the way to go. Eureka threw their flair into this one, all at a crazy low price for their brand. First and foremost, don’t grab this if you’re planning for more than a two-person camping expedition (unless they’re bringing their own tent). Eureka’s dimensions always seem a bit stretched when they say it can fit three, but as with other models, it’s not reasonable if you want any form of comfort or personal space.

Thanks to the extremely sturdy construction and build, this fares well against high winds, and as a toss-up, it doesn’t have a lot of breathability to it. One issue we’ve all run into when taking the stakes out of the ground is stretching or fraying the loops; this tent comes with all those picadillos in mind. Pulling out the stakes/packing it up is simple, and doesn’t add wear and tear to the tent. Love this tent? Check out our review of the top Coleman tents for our top picks. 

Three seasons, and a great amount of space. While there’s a wide price range on this Tetragon HD model, you’ll be able to stash three people in here with more than enough room to stretch out. There’s a fair amount of window space to keep this nice and breathable, even when you’re jammed to capacity with your gear. With all that extra space comes extra fabric, and that’s where the weight issues comes into play. This weighs nearly twenty pounds when it’s completely packed up, and that’s not exactly lightweight on your back.

Internal floor space is great, but what’s fantastic is the super durable 750 polyester taffeta construction. It makes up most of the associated materials, and it extremely tear-resistant. Since a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, you also have some surety in the durable stitching and thick mesh, so even your weaker spots won’t be compromised from your regular wear and tear.

Built for a total of six people, this Desert Canyon tent is like being an archaeologist in the middle of wherever you decide to camp out. This two-piece tent has a solid main chamber, and an extra tent topper to seriously repel rain like nobody’s business. With all this awesomeness, it’s going to be a pain in the neck to set up, so be warned. When you look at everything you get, we were shocked to find that Eureka’s price wasn’t a sale, wasn’t some flash deal, it was their real, dead-honest price.

The only design flaw we could really find was in the outlying poles that help hold up the tent topper. They’re a bit flimsy, and aren’t necessarily the best when it comes to heavy winds. A nice big D-style door, thick mesh windows, and a lot of interior comfort makes this all worthwhile. Just keep in mind, this is over twenty-five pounds of tent, so you shouldn’t be carrying it in alone. Make sure you also check our Beach tents review for more great options.

Hey, the best things in life are never easy. This inexpensive and ultimately high capacity Sunrise Java tent offers a crazy amount of protection from three seasons worth of the elements. Slipping into this bad boy gives you ample protection against dirt, bugs, dust and whatever else tries to creep its way into your tent after a long and intense day. No matter where you set up shop for the night, you’ll have a 360 view of beautiful outdoors with four large mesh windows.

You can sleep up to a dozen people with a 12 x 10 foot floor space. If you’re looking to keep it roomy, stick to just ten people. Setup, as you might imagine with a massive tent like this, isn’t exactly an easy process. Once it’s all said and done, you won’t have a lot of space to stand on the inside, meaning you’ll find yourself crawling over your friends to get out and grab a bite of fresh air. It’s packing value, quality construction with taffeta poly, and a way to bring a little bit of the indoors, out.

Sounds like a movie title, doesn’t it? The successor to the ever-popular Down Range lineup, this model focuses on keeping the moisture out of your tent at all costs. Not only do you have a domed design, but you have a high quality rainfly that pulls down, keeping all the rain at bay. The only downside to that is the breathability: the little window slats don’t offer a lot of breathing room, so you’ll need to have the rainfly open for fresh air.

Setup was a total breeze, and the tent carry bag that it came with is one of the best we’ve received. Half of the battle is lugging it to and from the campsite, not to mention keeping it safe when in storage. Made of polyester ripstop with taffeta accents thrown in, this isn’t going anywhere. Users have enjoyed their original Down Range lineup for well over five years, this is merely an upgrade to an already worthy series. Find more great products like this by checking out our guide to the bivy sacks.
