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.

We looked around at a number of family tents. We purchased one and found that it was extremely difficult to set up in even the most minimal amount of wind. My wife and I are both experienced campers and hikers so we were surprised when we couldn’t get the tent up properly. We even borrowed a friend’s family tent and proceeded to rip the base the first time we tried to stretch the tent out to stake it.

This tent is different. It is logical to put up. Once up it is spacious. The first time we put it up only took ten or fifteen minutes (include the time to yell at our 1 year old and 3 year old to get off it or we can’t put it up). Internally it has some nice storage features (lots of little pockets and places to store items). I never thought any of that kind of stuff was usefull or necessary until trying to find where the diaper cream went amongst all of the sleeping bags. The tent has nice features without appearing loaded with gimmicks.

And here is the real clincher - the sack that the tent comes in actually fits the tent. Not like you have to bring a hydraulic press to squeeze it in - it actually fits. What a relief after a long weekend of camping. I have never written a review before but was moved enough by the quality of this product.

The only downside I can think of - the stakes included are the cheezy plastic variety that don’t always work in all soil types. And there is not a waterproof assembly instruction printed on the bag (always a nice touch but not needed here since assembly is so logical). Also the way the rain fly goes on is a bit odd (attaching the cross poles to the fly and THEN sliding it over the top).

But the downsides so pale in comparison to the pluses. We are 100% satisfied so far!

We bought this tent to replace a similar Eureka tent that lasted more than 10 years. We love our new Eureka tent! We didn’t even use seam sealer, but it still stayed dry inside during rain on our recent camping trip.

The old tent had four main poles that connected to a center piece, and it was very easy to put up, even by one person. This new tent is just a little harder to put up because there are two very long main poles that arch across the top from corner to corner. We decided that the best process for putting it up was to first stake two corners on the same side of the tent. Then, with the tent flat, we put the two poles through the sleeves and attached them at the two staked corners. Next, the two of us each stood an an unstaked corner so we could simultaneously arch the two poles and fasten the other ends in place. Finally we staked down the third and fourth corner and the sides. Putting up the fly was a breeze.

The tent has a large window on each side, and the zippers worked smoothly! The cupholders and pockets are great, and there are little loops on the inside of seams so you can hang other stuff.

To the Angels who stole a lot from me in one way or the other:

I say this to you on a day neither cloudy nor oppressed by the elements below or above, nor distorted by the fog of time and memory.

I say this to you with great clarity of mind and fondness of heart:

God Bless You!

You have stolen my time, my money, my mind, my faith, trust, hopes and energy in any given order in the past and as many times as I?ve opened my heart to your supposed friendship and mercy.

What it felt at the time as an offer of kindness and kinship, of noble intentions and generous altruism, has turned out to be nothing more than your sludge of ill will raining, your poisonous swamp of a life spent in conniving, pretending and scheming now bending, buckling, and twisting for petty advantages that death (both yours and mine) will one day surely wipe away sparkling clean like castles built on the sand.

My only regret is that you have not stolen away from me more and any earlier.

Your lesson of hurt and instruction of reality has been such an unfailing compass in my life that I wish you parted with those lessons earlier and not later.

Today I?m a much better man for both avoiding the scorpions in my shoe and any inadvertent action on my part which may give false hopes to false projects and hurt others unknowingly even if I don?t steal a pin.

By the sheer magic of your magnificently bad example, you?ve thought me how to be the best person I can afford to be today.

If I did not learn anything else in this short and fleeting life, I think I?ve learned how not to be you — the paramount do-or-die importance of not being you.

And that?s more than I can say I?ve imbibed from all the books I?ve devoured in my life or all the movies I?ve seen.

Banks do not hold enough money and heavens do not store enough mercy to pay you back for your jolting kick-in-the-pants lesson that propelled me further in this life than I ever thought I?d get.

That?s why I bless you today wherever you may be with all the gratitude in my heart and wish you could get the same shining lessons from your own cruelty that I had to learn in a hurry just to survive.

But perhaps that?s not possible. Perhaps, like a pair of scissors that cannot cut itself, perhaps your depravity is also incapable of cutting out the worst from your wound and leave behind only what is pure, fragrant and wholesome. For that I?m leaving your fate and fortune to the subtle grace of God.

May you be comfortable, my dear thieves, with what you?ve done to me and many others like me.

May you be healthy like a horse and never sick like a man with a gentle conscience so you can continue to awaken others from their slumbers of the spirit as well, even despite themselves.

Amen.
