Eureka - Timberline 2 Tent

Under $100 is hard to do if you want to buy a an A frame you know you can rely on. [The Timberline](https://www.campmor.com/products/eureka-timberline-2-tent) is famously cost effective and long lasting (some might even say eternal). It’s on sale at Campmor for $172.46, which is a pretty legit price. Going sub $100 will probably mean brand names with no history or estimable reputation. The timberline has been around for decades and the parts are easily found as there are so many that have been made. Eureka has great customer support also.

Probably the most numerous tent ever produced. I cannot imagine another tent model with more spare parts available in the world. My guess is Eureka is sitting on a bunch of spare parts as well.

Never heard of this company but I do love my Eureka Timberline® 2 A Frame tent.

I've had two seasons with the Core-4 Straight Wall Cabin tent and it's held up well on the PNW coast \[rain/wind\]. It is not as ruggedly built as my Timberline-2 by Eureka, but for $129 it's a good deal. I'd definitely recommend you get the Core-6 model. It's on sale for $159, but you'll also need a tarp-groundsheet. I also use a cheap \[$35\] tent fly so I can erect a lounging-cooking space out of the rain. \*These Core tents allow standing room. I still use my Timberlane in harsh weather, but it's damn nice to be able to stand inside the tent.

I also have a Timberline. I had the 2 man and it fell off the back of the motorcycle after owning it for 25 years. I replaced it with the 4 man version. I wish somebody would keep manufacturing them. [Backcountry.com](http://Backcountry.com) has their own brand now, Stoic, and one of the tents is very similar to the Timberline. The downside is that the poles are fiberglass vs. the original aluminum.

Absolutely Eureka Timberline 2, 4, or 6… Original, or SQ. They are worth every penny. I fine the 2 man is generally light enough to backpack with. Don’t get me wrong, not “light”, but light enough that it’s doable. Is luxurious if you’re solo…

eureka timberline. they are discontinued, but still available. they are the prototype for all good a frames.

I would not rely on support as they were discontinued a year ago and anything sold is new old stock. that said parts are everywhere and they are fairly bulletproof.

Twice as heave as the Eureka Timberline and more expensive too. Timberline might be my favorite tent of all time.

The Timberline's simplicity is enduring. Sturdy as hell and easy to put up. No, it's not a pop-up tent for glampers, but it's easy. I love the design, well ventilated, and easy vestibule too. Helps in the rain tremendously, as you can leave boots outside and they'll stay dry. Mostly lightweight. And the simple A-Frame is just classic. Overall, it's just the tent that works best for me. I have a 4-season, a large family tent, and 2 other dome tents (which I may never use again). Maybe it's just personal preference, but the dome style tents just seem wrong to me.

Eureka is a good brand. I had a Timberline that no storm could penetrate. I agree with others that it's a bit heavy for backpacking.

Lots of unsupported fabric. This will really suck in a strong breeze. A Eureka Timberline, but without the airflow. Whoever designed this never camped a day in their life.

Eureka Timberline. They're bombproof and dry as shit.

My Timberline took me a lot of places. Great tent.

Easy to setup and durable. Wind resistant.

If you can find it, the Eureka Timberline is an excellent tent that our troop had used for years now. It’s been used in 4 seasons and has an optional vestibule that can store a bunch of gear. There is another tent in that lineup that’s actually rated as 4 season, but having as much experience in the Timberline as I do, I don’t think I’d opt for that one, simply because it costs more. We always used a ground sheet under the tent and one of those reflective emergency tarps with the grommets in the corners (not the cheap ones you’d find in a first aid kit) inside to sleep on top of. Reflective side up, and obviously on our foam pads, but we earned the 12 month campers unit badge for as many years as I was enrolled.

I’ve had 2 Timberlines. It’s sad Eureka tents are being discontinued.

I would love to find an upgrade for my Timberline!

The Ozark Trail a-frame tent from Walmart, but the rain fly doesn’t reach all the way to the ground. I have a Eureka Timberline, but purchased secondhand.
