Up until earlier this year, I had never camped before in my life. I just thought it wasn’t for me and the idea of sleeping in a tent wasn’t very appealing. But then I decided to go on a trip, and I haven’t looked back since. I started with a two-person tent for just myself and my girlfriend, but we have since upgraded to a much larger one.
You can find just about anything outdoor-related that you could want, ranging from boots to boats. Some Ozark Trail products such as their knives can last years, while others’ value really shines through. ozark tents are rated as “water-resistant,” not waterproof.
Ozark Trail is all about big family camping tents on a budget, and few are as big and budget-friendly as the Ozark Trail 10 Person Two-Room Cabin. Ozark Trail is what many would consider an “off brand” in the camping world. It’s made more cheaply than competitors like Marmot, Nemo, REI Co-op, and others, since it’s a product line developed by Walmart. However, unlike most off brand tents, the Ozark Trail products are above average quality for a fraction of the price. Certain brands are tailored towards certain camping styles, depending on how many people you want to bring.
When combined with the porch, the tent’s footprint is a square. This allows you to have a huge amount of tent space without taking up too much campground footage. The pre-attached poles make this as hassle free and easy to use as anyone can ask for when you’ve got kids running around screaming. It’s also got a center height of 7′ and has a T-style door on one side. Although they’re a little harder to use, they allow you to move bigger furniture in and out of the tent easily.
But rather than having each person bring their own tent, you can save space and money by opting for a larger tent that fits everyone. Right now you can grab an Ozark Trail ten-person ozark cooler tent for just $99, a shockingly low price for something that big. I watched the setup video tutorial and took the tent out of the original packaging before timing my setup.
Some 1-person tents will have two major spars or spines that cross for the main support structure. In the Ozark Trail tent, it has only one spar traveling down the center lengthwise with a single rib to open up the area in the middle. The four or six tent pegs hold the structure down but are crucial for the tent to stand by itself. The Ozark does need those pegs in the ground to be self-standing so setting up on rocks would be infeasible (at least without applying some clever tenting skills). The Ozark Trail 12-Person Base Camp Tent with Light prioritizes ventilation to create a comfortable and breathable environment inside the tent. The tent features a design with mesh windows and panels on all sides.
I love this as it keeps camping one of the most affordable vacations you can take, even if you need supplies to start. Their tents start at as low as just $29.97 for 3 people and $39 for 4 people tents! Plus there are some super deals on easy set up tents and family size tents too. If a family camping trip is on your to-do list, this is your chance to secure some affordable sleeping quarters to keep you and your kiddos cozy and dry.
