This tent features seven windows and ground vents as well as a large door and two internal room dividers. If you’re a small family who wants a tent that can fit you all comfortably, this is an excellent choice. Set up a bed for the parents and let the kids camp on the other side of the tent. It’s quick and easy to assemble as the poles come pre-attached to the tent.
Ozark Trail 16-Person 23.5 x 18.5 Cabin Camping Tent is a huge 3-room tent with more than 20 square meters of the area. This is a very tall and pleasant 6-windows structure for summer camping. On top of that, all of their tents are affordable, come with an electrical ozark tent cord port, and set up in minutes. Take a look at the floor plan, it’s actually got five rooms if you count the center room. This tent is for groups or families that want to travel with the entire squad, but don’t want to have to sleep next to each other.
Also, you can divide the space into two rooms by using the room divider. On the other hand, at 6.26 pounds this isn’t the lightest among 2-person tents. Besides, the rainfly is large in size and offers solid protection from the rains. The low profile also makes the tent very stable in windy conditions. The presence of windows, fly vents, and a mesh roof offers good ventilation and makes this a good choice for summer as well. Another feature that attracted praise was the quick setup time.
The fly is so small it allows rain to blow up under and then runs into the tent. If you a experienced camper like myself you would know that you have to use a tarp to cover your tent so that the water does not get inside when it rains. And you have to make sure that the zipper is closed well and also sprayed with a water repellent. But unfortunately, they are many morons out there that don’t know the first thing about camping. Every single one of our camping experiences has been ruined because of the OZARK tent.
For such a huge structure, the setup requires some work. It is necessary to stake it to the ground first, all stakes are included in the package. All the roof poles are fiberglass and the leg poles are metal, so you will know how to separate them from the beginning. They do not provide any information ozark trail canopy about the waterproof rating, my guess is it is not more than 800 mm. But if this is so, this should be enough for summer camping. So now you realize the meaning of the numbers 23.5 x 18.5 in the name – those are feet, and they indicate the rectangular ground area which you need to set this tent up.
We must have had some wind but not tornado force/ hurricane force winds. I just wish who I need to contact to get a new tent shell and two end poles that are made of sturdy material would contact me and make good of it. I received my from my grandparents, which I used 9 years ago when we went camping with them. The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent. The short pole supplied for that protrusion splintered in two places and poked about four small holes in the black fabric of the laundry bubble. Better instructions on how it should be installed would have prevented the splintering, but I would rather have seen the “laundry room” not be an outside protrusion from the back of the tent.
As mentioned earlier, the Coleman Sundome 3 is a common alternative. On movie nights, set up the included media screen and gather the family—decide beforehand who makes the popcorn. If you’re also looking for a tent that can be used for gatherings—this one has electrical cord access as well as vents for an air conditioner. This will help to make the tent more comfortable during the warmer days of the year.
