And for Coleman tents, they’re a little pricier than Ozark Trail tents, but you get better waterproofing, better features, and a better quality tent all around. The one downside with integrated rain flies is the lack of ventilation and temperature control. We had great weather – not too hot and not too cold – but it did rain for about 5 minutes. My friend chose to not put up his rain fly betting on the perfect weather to continue while enjoying the stars at night. During those five minutes of rain, he was a little more stressed as the risk of a wet sleeping bag had not been completely mitigated and he rushed back to the campground.
Essentially, the rain fly for the Ozark Trail was integrated into the tent directly. This 10 person tent is a whopping 20’ by 10’ and splits into three rooms. You also might be able to squeeze in another Ozark Trail Canopies twin-sized bed if you want to pack more people in. Setting up the screen room and attaching the rainfly does take some extra time. Still, first-timers were able to manage it within 12 to 15 minutes.
This Ozark Trail Camping Chairs is big enough for two queen air mattresses or eight sleeping bags thanks to the 121-square-foot living space within the tent. It also has a big door on the front with roll-down flaps to cover the entrance and protect everyone from the elements. There are also two ceiling vents to help with ventilation and four windows that can be zipped shut for privacy.
A simple Google search will provide a dozen locations to purchase an Ozark Trail tent. The thickness of tent fabric will change with the thread count and water-resistance of the tent. Yes, Ozark Trail tents come with stakes as part of the standard equipment.
With an open cabin and an extra attached back room, these Ozark trail tents are an excellent choice for a more spacious and comfortable camping experience. With their room divider and back room door, you can enjoy three separate living spaces in these spacious tents. This instant tent has a Bluetooth speaker and built-in LED lighted poles with low, medium, and high power settings. So in my opinion, you should buy a Ozark Trail tent even if you are concerned that it may not be waterproof.
Some pros of Ozark Trail tents are that they are affordable for almost anyone and are easy to find in your local Walmart or online. Walmart has built its reputation on quantity—and not necessarily quality—at low prices, so it’s reasonable to have questions about what you are getting with an Ozark Trail tent. Ultimately, the good design for this product was that it was sized right for what I needed, both in dimensions and weight. Not too small, but not too large (and thus wasteful) – a Goldilocks design. After all, I had to be sensitive to weight as we were required to carry our own water for 10 miles as there were no options for filtering during that stretch. Lastly, I haven’t yet had a chance to test its waterproofing in a huge down-pouring of rain, but it did hold up in some strong winds surprisingly well.
For backpackers, the 4-Season 2 person backpacking tent is an affordable option with 38 square feet of liveable space and additional storage space. Apart from a great design, it offers good stability and solid waterproofing. All you need to do with this 8-person instant cabin tent is unpack, unfold and extend because it requires no assembly since it has pre-attached poles. There’s a lot to love here, but as the Ozark Trail Three Room Instant Cabin is still a budget department store tent, you’ll want to be aware of a few shortcomings. First, although this is an instant tent, the unique layout and integrated awning make setup a little more involved than most. Second, the tall vertical walls and “L” shape make it about as far from aerodynamic as they come.
But at only 17.6 lbs this is one of the lighter tents that can fit an entire family. Setup may take a bit longer, but that’s ok, you’ll benefit from the extra space in your car. Not only that, but the dome tent will keep you safe from the elements better than any cabin tent out there.
Only complaint was the zipper hangs on the front door flap, destroyed flap and zipper. Bend each pole into an arch and secure it at the corners of the tent at ground level by placing the tent pole into the pin ring. Connect the snap-quick clips to the tent poles to give the tent shape. On the other hand, I’ve had some of my Coleman Tents for about 3 to 4 years now, and I never noticed any of the tent fabric becoming sticky. And the steel poles of my WeatherMaster tent are still holding up fine. Also, my steel wall poles were showing signs of rust even though I did my best to dry them before packing.
