Eureka Midori 6 Person Basecamp Dome Tent Review

The Midori 6 Basecamp has two doors and a peak center height of 6' 0, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 111 other 6 person tents we have studied. With 85 square feet of room inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to five other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often make a good choice for people that welcome spending lots of hours outside exploring the great outdoors.

Many of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent will have a square floor, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

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

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Midori Basecamp can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge 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 stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Breathable. The Midori'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 warmer months.
6. Available in other sizes. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
7. Low price. It is a great buy for a 6 person dome tent that provides this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $299.95

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Midori may not do best 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 want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 85 square feet, the Midori 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 111 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Only one room. The Midori is suggested for 6 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
6. Discontinued: Unfortunately this particular tent has been discontinued on the manufactures site and is not available elsewhere, that we are aware of.
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
