Eureka Boondocker Hotel 6 Person Modified Dome Tent Review

The Boondocker Hotel 6 has one window and two doors and a maximum center height of 6' 0, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 110 other 6 person tents we have studied. With 82 square feet of space inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to five other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one are a nice choice for campers who appreciate spending heaps of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Many of the great points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Beneath you can find a list of the tent's pros and cons.
