Eureka Headquarters Tent

The Eureka Headquarters Tent is a roomy tent that can sleep up to six easily. The floor size is 12 feet by nearly 9 feet, and has a removable divider so that you can easily create two separate rooms. Plus it is nice and high, with the center height being just under 7 feet.

With two doors that have their own windows and two other large windows, there is a lot of ventilation in this tent, which makes it so comfortable if you are summer campers!

As for staying dry, the Eureka Headquarters Tent has a heavy-duty "bathtub floor" that repels water as well as the Eureka "Stormshield" that increases durability and resistance to rain.

And even though it is one large tent it is easy and quick to set up and take down, leaving more time to just enjoy camping in the great outdoors.

The Headquarters is my favorite summer car camping tent. (I have owned and camped in over 20 different tents) My companion and I have taken it on about a dozen trips over the past two years. The tent is easy for two people to set after one practice session. In fact, we can now set it up in less than five minutes without saying a word, even in the dark.

It is tall enough for a 6-foot, 3-inch man to stand up and very spatious. We usually bring two dogs and lots of clothes and personal items. We frequently camp in it for over a week at a time in the summer and like it better than staying in a motel. We typically set up our sleeping quarters at one end and our changing/bathing area at the other end. It is also very well ventilated so that you can take mid day naps even when the tent is set up in a sunny spot.

My only complaint is that the tent is not designed to be used in steady wind. Thus, when we go to the Gulf coast beaches, we have to take another tent.

I purchased this tent after reading many reviews. I have a lot of camping experience, but my family has increased in size so my goal was a roomy car camping tent for four. After a 5 day camping trip, I can highly recommend this tent. We did not have any rain so I can't comment on how water-proof it is, but the floor is like a bath tub and the middle seams are taped, so it seems adequate at least visually.

The walls are almost vertical and the floor is rectangular, meaning much more useful floor space than your typical hexagonal dome tent. The removable divider in the middle allowed the adults to read at night while the kids slept. There is enough room for a pack-n-play and a sleeping bag on one side and two spread out adult bags on the other and a lot of extra space. The tent is high enough that adults can stand up inside.

Set up is relatively easy. If you have tent experience, you can put it up by yourself in 15 minutes. It is much easier with help, however. Four bent aluminum poles insert into a a hub in the middle of the tent and into short metal stakes in the corners. The sides of the tent snap on with plastic clips (hurray, no sleeves!).

The downsides are 1) the stakes are plastic. Buy 6 $.50 metal stakes instead, 2) the size may make it difficult to find level ground for the entire floor space, 3) the fly is tricky to put on by yourself. Despite all of this, I think it rates 5 stars.

We have owned this tent for about 7 years, and have camped in it for about 60 nights. We sleep 4, with luggage. It has been remarkably weather-worthy, having been through many rainy days. The first night we slept in it as family there was a monster thunderstorm, yet were dry. Just last week we slept in the tent while about 2-1/2 inches of rain fell overnight. After setting it up once it is quite easy. Two people can put it up in less than 10 minutes. The ventilation is very good, virtually turning into a screen house when windows and doors are unzipped.
