This tent is built for maximum comfort and room to move around, perfect for car/SUV camping. It is designed to be attached to your minivan or SUV for added stability and durability, or it can stand on its own.
The door features rollback flaps and the coverage of an awning, though some users complain it would be better with a second door (for rear entry/exit). Thanks to the dual ceiling vents and ground vent, you’ll stay cool indoors no matter how muggy the weather. And, because of the no-see-um mesh covering everything, bugs will never have a chance to find their way inside your tent. Other advantages are how simple the tents are to set up and the variety of selections available. A camper can buy anything from a single tent to a family-size version at a reasonable price point. In all kinds of weather, from high winds to torrential downpours.

As for my Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent, it was able to stay dry only for about 10 minutes of mostly light rain and some moderate rainfall, not even heavy rain. After my rain test, I found that my Coleman Instant Tents, I have both the 10-Person and 4-Person versions, were able to stay dry for about 10 minutes under heavy rain.

So in this video, the guy shows how he made his cheap $20 tent even better simply by waterproofing the seams. This is because when you touch or lean into the wall of a tent, if it has been raining the water will run towards the seams. As I think they are a good option for campers on a tight budget. Plus you can make them waterproof rather cheaply and quickly too. So in this video below, you will find a guy that has gone to great lengths to warn people off buying Ozark Trail tents becasue they are not waterproof.
You’ll want to give the entire tent a thorough Nikwax treatment before taking it on the road. Second, the fabric feels thin, and a few users have reported ripping it during setup, so you’ll need to take your time both setting up and taking down this tent. Looking for the ideal tent to pack on your next big family camping trip? The tent has decent floor space (49 square feet), with room enough for a single queen mattress + gear or three sleeping pads/bags placed side by side.
You also might be able to squeeze in another twin-sized bed if you want to pack more people in. Ease of setup (how easy it is to pitch and take down a tent) is pretty much always a high mark for Ozark Trail tents. These tents are built for first-time and/or fairweather campers, so Ozark Trail puts a lot of effort into making them easy to use. Again, Ozark Trail tents are mainly fair weather camping tents (so you won’t be hiking into the backcountry with them) which means weight and packed size aren’t a big priority.
