Eureka Cop­per Canyon 1512 Tent Review

 

 

Size of Eureka Cop­per Canyon

You could be in the cas­tle of tents while your bud­dies and co-campers are in tents that are like effi­ciency apart­ments! Buy the Eureka Eureka Cop­per Canyon 1512 Cabin 12 Per­son Tent 2010
now or con­tinue with another fab­u­lous review. This is a very large tent. I get excited writ­ing fam­ily tent reviews for tents this huge. Mea­sur­ing 15 feet by 12 feet the Cooper Canyon is a great fam­ily tent that will hold just about every­thing you could dream to put in it (includ­ing some of the other campers tents). With nearly ver­ti­cal walls the square footage is true and not cheated with walls dart­ing in at sharp angles. Twelve grown peo­ple as adver­tised could fit eas­ily, but it might be a lit­tle tight. You could prob­a­bly fit an entire Scout troop in this thing. At over seven feet of height in the cen­ter you will never need to stoop or bend in this Eureka. As a mat­ter of fact shorter folks may want to bring a step lad­der if you plan on hang­ing a light or clos­ing the divider that sep­a­rates the tent into two rooms. The two doors are located so that each room has its own door, which is good if you have dif­fer­ent  sleep­ing habits than the peo­ple you are shar­ing the tent with.

Weather Resis­tance of Cop­per Canyon

Camp­ing in the rain has never been more enjoy­able than with the Eureka Cop­per Canyon. We had sev­eral nights of rain, one of which was a rather heavy rain, with­out a drop mak­ing its way inside the tent. The fly is big enough over the end win­dows to allow you to open them some for ven­ti­la­tion even in hard rain. The top of the tent is mesh ant part of the rain fly is plas­tic allow­ing you to gaze at the stars or have a sky light if you wish and also aid­ing ven­ti­la­tion. Of Course you can zip shut the area where the see through pan­els are to keep out the light or add pri­vacy. We had some winds that I’d esti­mate in the 20– 25 mph range with­out any prob­lem from the tent.

Set Up of Eureka Cop­per Canyon

Set­ting up the tent is pretty easy, of course I have much expe­ri­ence with pre­vi­ous tents so my times may be bet­ter than a begin­ner tent erec­tor. Our first test run took a lit­tle over twenty min­utes. This included stretch­ing out the tent for set up and lay­ing every­thing out. The sec­ond time we got it up in 17 min­utes. Erect­ing this tent could pos­si­bly be done by a sin­gle per­son, but two or three makes it much sim­pler. The rain fly mat require two peo­ple to get it on properly.

Extra Fea­tures of the Cop­per Canyon

The Eureka Cop­per Canyon comes with a stor­age loft. Also two power ports near the doors allow you to run a power cord to the tent. You can close the ports with a zipped flap to keep out the rain.

Eureka Cop­per Canyon Cons

The stakes could be a lit­tle bet­ter. I’m find­ing this to be com­mon with most new tents, but stronger stake are avail­able. You should buy a tarp for under­neath the tent (this is always rec­om­mended with any tent though). One for inside may also be beneficial.
