Only half the tent has a floor!, November 7, 2009

I had to return this tent because only the sleeping room has a floor, the screen room does not have a floor! Initially when I purchased this tent, I spent over an hour with the guy in the camping department stating I wanted to put the parents on one side and the 4 kids on the other, planned out how everyone would fit, etc. The packaging includes the entire tent size in the floor size, but neglects to tell you the screen room is non-floored. The problem I have is we camp at state parks where there are snakes, racoons, and other animals that can crawl underneath the screen room wall into the screen room area. Therefore, I can not put my kids in this area to sleep! I am disappointed as I really did like the large screen windows for the daytime and I liked having a door for the sleeping area and a separate door for the screen room. It did take my husband and two teenage boy scouts about 30 minutes to set up this tent. Other than not having a floor, I have no complaints over this tent. The package needs to be re-written to indicate there is no floor on the screen room side. I exchanged this tent today for the Cooper Canyon 1512 - 2 room - 12 person tent. It's only a foot bigger, but both sides should have a floor!

Eureka Copper Canyon 1610, October 20, 2009

The order arrived on time and at almost the lowest price I found. My review will copy most others I've read. The tent is spacious. Although only 1/2 the tent is floored, a simple tarp and $30 worth of indoor/outdoor carpet and there is room for more sleepers. My girlfriend and I bought this tent specifically for music festivals we attend. It's obviously more room than needed for two people, but when at a campsite for 6 days and 5 nights, the comfort of having a screen room for sitting in comfort from light to medium rain, bugs, or even other campers is quite nice. As a base tent, we can leave for the afternoon knowing that ALL gear can be stored in screen room, which by the way YOU CAN CLOSE OFF ALL SCREENS , is an added convenience. I bring this up because it's usually not stated or reflected in PICTURES. EVERY SCREEN HAS THE ABILITY TO BE BLOCKED FOR PRIVACY AND DRYNESS! If you want a great product and the willingness to invest in your camping equipment, I definitely recommend this tent. It's big and I don't recommend a novice camper to set it up alone, but well worth the money. Respect the tent, follow instructions, and for goodness sakes, seal the seams of any tent you buy.

Great tent, easy set-up, June 5, 2009

This tent is a great product with well-written & easy to follow instructions for set-up. We set it up in or driveway a few days before our trip in about 10 minutes just so we'd know there wouldn't be any trouble once we got to our destination. The sleeping quarters are spacious - we had one queen size and one twin size air mattress with room to walk in between and room for our suitcases. Large window openings let in the breezes. Nice to have the option to use the door out of the sleeping quarters as well as thru the screen room. The screen room is great, too. No floor, obviously, but our next trip we will invest in a piece of outdoor carpet to place on the ground in it. This tent is large, but we are tall people and so it was nice to be able to stand straight up and walk around and not have to hunch over as with our previous dome tents. We spent a week at the beach in this tent and had no problems. There was even a severe thunderstorm that lasted about an hour one day - HEAVY rain and wind - but it held up just fine. The floor of the tent was dry as a bone, and no leaks at all. The only thing was that the fly over both ends of the tent collected rain and my husband had to run out and dump it out a couple of times. Otherwise, I say this is a great product and well worth the cost. This will be the tent we use on every trip now.

Tent is well made, March 23, 2009

I received the tent the tent in less than a week even though Amazon showed it out of stock and on back order. The tent is big, fairly heavy ( about 40 pound I guess) but easy to set up. Read the simple instruction before starting to set up the tent. My wife and I set ours up in windy weather in about 30 minutes the first time. I like the zippers they are big and heavy duty. There is a weather covering over the zippers. We are planning a trip From Florida to Washington State in June and July. We will be spending a lot of time in this tent. I think it will be comfortable. The screen room is very nice. I'm 6 foot and can walk around inside without hitting my head. I am very Pleased with this tent.

1. Camping Life Magazine

The Eureka Copper Canyon 1610 is one of several tents recommended in this publication devoted to family camping, though no testing is documented. Editors like the storage pockets, near-vertical walls and the fact that the tent is easy to sweep out.

2. GearReview.com

This review compares the Eureka Copper Canyon 1610 with another Eureka family tent, the N!ergy 1310, favoring the Copper Canyon as more durable. However, the reviewer's tests show that the corner poles on both tents could be sturdier to withstand high winds better.

4. Amazon.com

The few owners reviewing this tent give it the highest possible rating, praising the easy setup, storm resistance and two-room, two-door design. Several other sizes and versions in the Eureka Copper Canyon tent series also earn high ratings here, based on more than 100 reviews.

5. ConsumerReports.org

We rank this review lower only because it's a little dated and because it covers mostly single-room dome tents. The ratings and rankings of 24 tents include several Eureka tents, however, which gives an idea of how Eureka scores as a brand.
