Eureka Desert Canyon 6 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Desert Canyon 6 has three windows and one door and a peak center height of 7' 5, which is 13 inches more than the average height of the 110 different 6 person tents we have studied. With 100 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to five other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, larger tents similar to this one make an awesome choice for campers that appreciate having lots of room inside their tent for sleeping and hanging out.

One of the sweet One of the sweet things about cabin tents is, that the sides are near vertical creating a larger interior, this gives you much more headroom at the sides inside, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. In general cabin tents are used by people going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. That dose though make them better suited to cooler nights.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Desert Canyon can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Lots of Headroom. With 13% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Eureka has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the walls of the tent.
5. More than one window. With 3 openings it is easier to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
6. Breathable. The Desert Canyon's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
7. Other sizes are available. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
8. Low price. It is a great buy for a 6 person cabin tent that provides this much room. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $349.95

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Desert Canyon may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not roomy. With a floor area of 100 square feet, the Desert Canyon 6 is smaller than quite a lot of the 110 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Only one room. The Desert Canyon is suggested for 6 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you will have to store them inside the tent.
5. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy downpours.
6. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of fiberglass & steel. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Desert Canyon 6 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
7. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 75D 185T Polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
8. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
