Eureka Timberline 2

Bought this tent based on some avid campers recommendations. Very glad that I did! We ended up at the site in a downpour, and after throwing down a small tarp, I had the tent up in 5 minutes in low light… in the rain. NOTE! Make sure the tarp ends are UNDER the edges of the tent! I forgot, and had some small spots of water. Nothing a towel, and a little air circulation didn't cure! LOVE THIS TENT! I'm looking at the four person next just for the easy this one provided!

I've used this tent twice so far. The first was a hot night. It provided great ventilation. The second was a very, very, very wet night and I was the only one to remain dry. I did seal the seams and… sprayed it with water repellant beforehand. The only problem I had was a little water seeping through the floor, but it was barely enough to mention. It was pretty roomy-I fit myself and all my gear and I'm a pretty big guy. I feel it was a really good buy and was cheaper buying through Amazon than anywhere else I could find it.

We've had our Eureka Timberline tent for about 6 years now, and it's still in good shape. It's easy to set up, and it generally keeps the water out. On very stormy/rainy trips, the inside has gotten… slightly damp at the edges, but we were dry on our sleeping pads and in our sleeping bags (and our friends got soaked). The tent is also fairly light, but we haven't really gone backpacking with it. We do mostly car camping, though we did take it on one hike-in camping trip.

I use this for remote camping in the Rocky Mountains and it holds up really well. It stands up to the wind and does a pretty good job of keeping heat in on the cold nights. This tent is very small and can… barely accommodate 2 people - and only if they don't plan on keeping any gear in the tent. Don't even think about setting up a cot in here either. Overall great tent, but lost a star for the thin floor.
