Eureka - Copper Canyon LX 6

I've got this 6 person and my wife and I use it with the dog. I like it well enough and it's discontinued so this is on sale for a decent price imo. My buddies and I also braved a pretty good rain storm at NASCAR with the 3 of us in it and no water got in. Tall enough to where me (about 6'2") can easily stand in with headroom.

Eureka, Copper Canyon 6 is good. I have one. I think it will meet your needs.

Eureka Copper Canyon 6 can be had for under $150 and at that price its a great tent.

I use a Eureka Copper Canyon 6, it's about 10" around and less than 3 feet long packed. They make an 8 person version that is a little bigger than that packed.

Tent manufacturers like to exaggerate space. Something being advertised as 4 persons is more like a two person tent. Do some research and look closely at the dimensions and lay it out with some string to give you an idea of the floor space. I have a Eureka Copper Canyon that I love. Setup isn't horrible and can be done by one person. Their 6 person tent is current $140 USD which isn't bad if you're not using cots. I have their 8 person tent and it fits my family of 4 with large military style cots with room to spear. 8 person also has a room divider and separate entrances. Whatever you get, also get a tarp to act as a ground cloth to help protect your tent and help out in case of rain events.

Check online resellers. I bought a Eureka Copper Canyon LX in May from [The Last Hunt](https://thelasthunt.com) They’ve only got the 6 person Space Camp Tent right now but they’re worth keeping an eye on.

For a tent, I want something I can stand up in and move around a bit to change clothes, store gear and not trip over anything while I do it. We have a Eureka Copper Canyon that has lasted us awhile. For sleeping, I typically lean towards a hammock if I'm by myself. When I'm with the wife, we use 24" tall inflatable twin mattresses. No sharing of air mattresses. The height makes it a bit easier to get in and out of bed. Our cookware is still mostly stuff used for boiling water and a carbon steel skillet for cooking. I think the pot we use for boiling water is made by Stanley, but it's very old. Carbon steel skillets are expensive, but lightweight and very versatile. Think of a lighter version of cast iron. We keep a French press for coffee. A Yeti cooler seems to handle several days for keeping food cold if it starts out frozen. Fresh veggies are the first items we cook and we keep a few dehydrated meals for the end of the week or in case something spoils. I like to freeze a couple gallon jugs of spring water beforehand to use for cooling food, but also drinking as it thaws. This is all of course for car camping. We don't need much to be comfortable, so there are no large batteries or generators. The point is to separate yourself from civilization, so no tablets, internet devices outside of maybe a Kindle and cell phone that is kept in the car.

Check out Eureka’s line of larger tents. Might be something there. I have a copper canyon for car camping and it’s huge. I’m 6’3 and can stand up.

I love our White Duck 10x10 Pro Rata tent. Can stand easily plenty of room for queen mattress, dog beds, duffles, etc. It can be a pain to stake down on hard grounds. I got a Eureka Copper Canyon for short trips, or ones that I don’t worry about weather https://preview.redd.it/6rwit5ts9j4f1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ebcb14cb5fa89b8891244458c437c204c8eda12

I have owned several Eurekas over the years. I still have all of them except my first 3 man, which i gave to my sister(she is still using it, its probably 20 years old, if not more). They get my vote for price and quality. To be fair, i haven't used many other tents because i haven't had to. I currently have a lightweight 2 person, apex 3 person, a 3 person with a large vestibule and now a 6 person as my family has grown.
