Eureka Space Camp 6 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Space Camp 6 has two doors and a peak center height of 6' 4, which is a tiny bit bigger than the average height of the 111 various 6 person tents we have studied. With 83 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to five other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one are a suitable choice for campers who enjoy spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

One of the main advantages of cabin tents is, that the sides of the tent are basically vertical creating a sizeable interior, this allows for much more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than a dome tent, they also, tend to have large sleeping areas, making them great for groups. Normally cabin tents are used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. It dose though make them well suited to cooler months.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Space Camp 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 need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 83 square feet, the Space Camp 6 is smaller than quite a lot 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 cool on a hot summers night.
4. Only one room. The Space Camp is recommended for 6 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
5. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you need keep them inside the tent.
6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Space Camp 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 68D 185T Polyester taffeta, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
