Eureka Sunrise 11 Family Six-Person Tent Review

My wife and I have four tents. For ultralight backpacking, we use the REI Half Dome, for a little more space we use the Sierra Designs Pampero. For car camping our tent is usually the Sunrise 11. For really big campsites that don’t have a lot of shade, we use the Eureka Copper Canyon 1512. I could fit 5 REI Half Dome tents in that Copper Canyon 1512. I love the Copper Canyon 1512, but it is really too big for most established camp sites. Eureka also makes a Sunrise 8 and a Sunrise 9, but I think the Sunrise 11 is just about the perfect size for car camping in maximum comfort in most established campgrounds. We’ve had the Sunrise 11 for about 5 years and have spent over 20 nights in it. Overall, I really like the Sunrise 11. Sleeps 6? Maybe, but I prefer just my wife and I in a queen size air bed with plenty of room to move around and for our stuff. I don’t like the room divider, but we just keep that rolled up. Our last time out with it, we camped for 4 days near Taylor Reservoir, Colorado. It rained heavily non-stop, but at least there was no wind. The only water inside the tent was at one of the internal mesh storage pockets sewn into the tent wall. I thought I had seam sealed the tent pretty well, but must have missed this one spot. Luckily, my oversight only resulted in about a 3 tablespoon puddle each day. (You must seam seal this tent) Although I wouldn’t expect it to hold up so well in wind driven rain, I am still impressed. My wife stayed warm and dry, and that’s the key to staying out there longer. I’ve since sealed all the seams once more and garden hose testing results were dry. Ready for another season. The Sunrise 11 is well ventilated even with the rainfly on. I’ll choose less warm and well ventilated over condensation and suffocation any day. I think the primary selling point for me was the exact dimensions of this tent. Most developed campgrounds have 12 x 12 ft tent pads. I bought the Sunrise 11 because it will fit our big air bed and stuff inside and still setup on a typical campground tent pad. Setup is significantly easier with two people, but can be accomplished solo with some swearing. Getting the rainfly on solo takes a little practice. This is a well made, stable, large, rain shedding tent and I like it a lot.
