As far as fairweather shelters go, however, this one may be the best value in terms of livability for your money. The first good design feature is the placement of the door on the side, and more specifically on the long side of the tent. I’ve tried tents with the door on one end and it is cumbersome. For the end-door variants, one has to toss their sleeping bag down the tent when getting ready for bed. Other items that you may want to keep at the foot of the sleeping area are also hard to access or reach if your head is near the door.
Ozark Trail instant tents set up within seconds, and even the regular models won’t give you a headache. Our favorite for easy setup is the Ozark Trail 8-Person Instant Cabin Tent with LED Lighted Poles and Bluetooth Speaker. If you are looking for a lighter weight family tent that can hold up better to the elements, then the 8-person modified dome tent will make sense for you. Even though some of their products are marketed as four-season I wouldn’t recommend Ozark Trail during the winter. Winter camping needs to be taken seriously and Ozark Trail tents just don’t stand up in harsh weather.
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.
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 Ozark Trail Canopies 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.
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.
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.
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.
