Because it’s a family cabin the walls are nearly vertical – providing additional interior space. This is because of the zippered panels on the roof of the main room. These panels covered the mesh on the ceiling to prevent heat from escaping out the top of this Ozark Trail family tent.
I had to tape the tent together with military issue 100-mile-an-hour tape. The question I put to you are you making this material out of pewter or real metal. What more descriptions do you need, Ozark Trail Camping Chairs my finger went on handle pulled it down it broke. The people who make your zippers should quit and get another profession. Your zippers are the worst in all camping gears I have bought.
Because it doesn’t have a full coverage rain fly, you’ll also want to make sure the forecast is relatively dry before planning a trip. With this 10 person tent, however, that’s not going to happen. Beyond getting a great start with a tent, we also share lots of other cammping supplies that you will need in our Camping Gear List here. And before you head out camping be sure to grab our free packing list for camping here, and if you are camping with kids you might want to grab this fun and free outdoor scavenger hunt here. Regarding the weight, this system is heavy, but there are many elements here and this is a very stable structure.
Each room is large enough for a queen mattress, so you can make things super comfy. It’s made from steel, and the poles are telescoping which means that they extend and click into place. The cabin structure is great for making it feel like your own home, but it doesn’t do super well in very windy conditions. In her free time (if there is such a thing), she’s probably watching reality TV, online shopping, or cuddling with her dog, Waffle. She is a Wawa-loving Jersey girl who went to Monmouth University for communication, journalism, and interactive media. There are many other tents that are “better” but Core tents are very solid and offer really good bang for buck.
There are two huge doors that get to the screen room, so both of the inner rooms have their own door. If not secured, all it takes is one good wind to take it for a spin down the beach or accross the campground resulting in a pile…
We have never been able to sleep in it and makes a poor storage room. I am 67 yrs old and have used Ozark Trail tents for years, but this covered screen dome turned out NOT TO BE A TENT. I have tried to use it at our local beach and when ever the wind gets to 7-10 mph off we go chasing the tarp and that leaves the screen dome uncovered and in blew the sand. Once we tried it at the lake wind came up, off comes the tarp that with a light rain everything got wet. I purchased this tent to take to music festivals and such, because it is like a small house. One day into a 3-day festival, I returned to camp to find both of the large poles snapped right in two.
Each of the two tents can accommodate one queen size bed, see the picture. The screen room alone is large enough for a couple of camping chairs and a small side table. In this configuration you have one of the two tents attached to the roof, and this can be any of them, the structure is fully symmetric. So this is a 4-person tent with a huge porch in front of it. This is why I have included it in my list of 4-person tents.
On movie nights, set up the included media screen and gather the family—decide beforehand who makes the popcorn. The Ozark Trail Dark Rest Tent line is all about comfortable sleep. This series is focused on catering to those campers who prefer to sleep in a fully dark space. With a center height of 78 inches, you can move around comfortably inside the tent.
Also take a look at the cool interior light, great feature to have. Before going on your next camping trip, you’ll be fully prepared with all the right information on this popular 12-person instant ozark trail tent tent. The Hazel Creek 20-Person Star Tent With Screen Room was designed to sleep, yes, 20 people. What makes this particular tent so cool is that it has four separate “rooms” or compartments.
There are three of these large floor-level windows along the walls of the tent, plus the giant mesh doorway that can be left open in good weather. Layout wise is virtually identical to the Core Instant Cabin we evaluated for our 10 person tent roundup, but delivers those same massive interior dimensions for about $100 less. We’ve also put together a handy buyer’s guide down at the bottom as a resource for shoppers who are new to the Ozark Trail brand, so make sure to check it out. There you’ll find all the info you could ever want on the materials, build quality, and weather-worthiness of these affordable tents. You don’t spend a couple hundred bucks on a tent that you only expect to last a year or two.
