About Eureka!

Eureka's long history begins prior to 1895, in Binghamton, NY, where the company still resides today...

Its first products sold were canvas, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century as well as American flags, store awnings, and, of course, eureka camping tents.

In 1960, the innovative eureka Draw-Tite tent, with a practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by Sir Edmund Hillary. The first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier.

Over the years Eureka Tents have become a major brand amongst the recreational camping community, whilst maintaining its reputation for expedition tents.

Within the above three ranges, there are various models, such as the eureka copper canyon, eureka timberline, tetragon and others that have the same design with the main difference being capacity within that model type.

Also, eureka tents also have stand alone tents (one offs). Read on to find out more.

The eureka copper canyon tents is a popular model for family camping trips, car camping and base camp. The canyon comes in 4 types (sizes), 10, 1312, 1512, and 1610.

• The Grand Manan line has 3 types:


• Grand Manan Tour, 5 - 6 person tent.
• Grand Manan 7, 3 person tent.
• Grand Manan 9, 5 person tent.

The Grand Manan Tour is a 3 season family size tent, that sleeps 5-6 (comfort/room 5).

Camping in this 2 pole rectangular dome with the 3rd pole supporting large screened vestibule will provide extra storage for gear.

The full coverage fly rolls up, providing 4-way ventilation and allowing maximum cool air flow to the interior via low mesh wall vents. This is a positive for hot weather camping.

Priced at approx $350, we were surprised this tent was using fibre glass poles, rather than aluminium. Not much of an issue if only summer camping, although they break easier whatever the weather.

When used with 2 HA poles, sold separately, the front vestibule converts to an awning, providing shade for an outside seating area.

The advantage for choosing this over the copper canyon 10 would be the solid dome structure.

We have a page specifically for an overview of the advantages and disadvantages for the Eureka Grand Manan line here.
