If you’re willing to spend a few extra bucks (emphasis on few), the Ozark Trail 9-Person Cabin with a screen room gives some added livability at a similar price point. The easiest models to pitch are pretty much always “instant tent” shelters, which use a system of preattached poles than only need to be unfolded and locked into place. Again, ozark trail sleeping bag are mainly fair weather camping tents (so you won’t be hiking into the backcountry with them) which means weight and packed size aren’t a big priority. 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.
Set up the two included room dividers to further help to keep things organized—or for a little more privacy. If you like to keep the inside of the tent clean, the attached mud mat is a gentle reminder to clean your shoes before entering. The screen door is also covered with a removable cover to protect the entrance.
Finding a tent within a tight budget can feel a little hopeless, but there are actually quite a few affordable options out there for people willing to do a little digging. Whether you’re in search of a large shelter to share with friends and family or a lightweight solo tent for smashing trails in the backcountry, here are some of our favorite budget tents. Ozark Trail is Walmart’s in-house brand of outdoor gear. Ozark Trail tents such as the 7 Person Teepee are perfect affordable options for camping excursions, particularly if you like to go outdoors with the family or a large group of friends. All the windows and the doors are with mesh and waterproof panels so you will use them for protection and for privacy. The tent is with two large doors in the central room, one on each side, and they have mesh windows plus panels.
Since they are affordable and easy to set up, dome tents are great for beginners. Our top product, the 14 person cabin tent, comes with 4 spacious rooms and a liberal central height. You also get a simple setup, excellent ventilation with 12 windows, and a mesh roof for enjoying the views.
With 2 room dividers, the area can be divided into 3 rooms. If living space is what you need, this is the right tent for you. It offers 189 square feet of space and the cabin-type design has 7 feet of ceiling height. There’s a room divider ozark trail sleeping bag that can be used to separate the living and sleeping spaces. I watched the setup video tutorial and took the tent out of the original packaging before timing my setup. Spacious, convenient, ventilated, and priced great for its size!
CORE’s tents are very similar in price and an extremely popular alternative to Ozark. Waterproofing your tent is a lot easier than it sounds. All it takes is some seam sealer, NickWax, and patience. You want to make sure that the treatment you’re using is compatible with the materials your tent is made of, but that’s more important for the seams. Keep in mind that a DWR coating will likely decrease your tent’s breathability, but that’s not as important as keeping out the water.
