We wanted to upgrade from our Hillary tent that we purchased at Sears 12 years ago. It held up great and is still in good condition, but we wanted a little bit more room. When the three of us are in there with cots, it's a bit tight.

I've always heard people singing the praises of Eureka! tents, so I looked at their line first. I decided the Eureka! Blue Mesa 1610 was going to be our next tent. I ordered one in and I'm sorry to say, I can't keep it. The tent seems very well made, but it is HUGE! My family and I camp mostly in PA and MD state parks which usually have semi-wooded campsites. I will never be able to find a level spot that is 10' x 16'and clear of trees and roots. I'm exchanging it for the Eureka! Sunrise 11 which should work out much better.
