Eureka tents are vastly popular among ordinary campers and professional explorers not only for being made of high quality materials but also for the strong reputation of their manufacturer, a company which has been in the business of tents and awning production since the 1890s.
Eureka tents are categorized by the number of people they can accommodate, by the kind of season when they can be used or by their shapes and styles. In the shapes and styles category, models are available in dome, umbrella, A-frame and screen houses styles. Models that accommodate a single person are categorized under the solo camping tents while family camping tents are good for four people to nine. Backpacking tents, meanwhile, are available in multiple sizes that can accommodate two to four people.
