Still one of the best names in tents! We’ve owned three. The first one was back in the late 60’s when our family was building a new house “up on the hill.” Dad bought a huge tent. Huge, by our standards back in the day. It had three rooms: One for mom and dad, one for us five kids, and then a large one that functioned as living room and kitchen. We lived in it all summer, complete with the gear that we picked up from Eureka to make it as livable as possible for that long: padded cots, good sleeping bags, and well, I don’t remember much more than that. But that was a great tent.
As an adult, when it was time to camp with my own wife and children, there was no question about it: we’d go down to the Eureka store and get what we needed. That tent worked out quite well, until a storm did some pretty extensive damage. When we went down to see about getting repairs, they had a better answer that we really appreciated. A new tent! We were excited about that, and gladly paid the difference they calculated to upgrade to a larger tent, now that we had become a family of five. That tent lasted us to the point where sadly, the girls, now with families of their own, wanted to be in their own tents. Our adventures took on quite a different direction, but Eureka tents? Still my number one pick so far.
We’ll be excited to review some other types!
