These tents have their tallest peaks at the center and slope downward to provide less headroom the farther from the middle you go. We used this tent over Memorial Day weekend 2004 and overall it held up very well. We had torrential downpours and only suffered a small amount of water which came through the rainfly and dropped down through the exposed ceiling. The doors at the front of the tent though were another story.
To put a bow on it, this tent is an instant cabin tent. That means it has pre attached poles, and setup can be completed within minutes. This 11 person instant cabin tent is an excellent option for those who want a tent that’s less like a hallway and more like a big room. The main area is huge, giving you and the family plenty of room to enjoy each other’s company.
It’s recommended that two people set up this tent together, but one person can set it up without too much difficulty. Included in the sale is a room divider, so you’ll be able to turn this model into a two-room tent. The center of this tent is 76 inches tall, which is lower than other models on this list, but it’ll still be comfortable for people up to 6 feet 4 inches tall.
Ten-person tents come in a wide variety of sizes and floor plan options. For taller campers, be sure to see what the interior height of your tent will be. It’s nice to have the ability to stand fully upright inside the tent when you want to change your clothes. If you’re looking for a convenient family tent to bring on your next camping trip, this has lots to offer. The three rooms with separate doors provide you and your family with easy access and plenty of space. This is a 14-person tent, featuring four rooms and measures a total of 20 by 20 by 6.5 feet.
Users loved the excellent ventilation that the tent offers. It’s mostly made from mesh and there are large windows. So even without separate ventilators, the airflow is great. Users didn’t mention any issues with condensation either. 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.
If you need a sturdy tent that will keep you safe from Mother Nature’s tantrums, Ozark Trail’s budget tents probably aren’t the place to look. If you’re looking to go on a proper camping trip…while there are definitely loads of very satisfied customers, I’d suggest you might be taking a risk. Another smart feature of the backpacking tents is a large door.
The setup is also relatively easy, and while not exactly being a free-standing tent, a couple of people could do quick work with getting up in about minutes. The ultimate headquarters for all of your adventures, the Ozark Trail Base Camp provides an amazing 235 feet of square living space in one convenient location. With enough room to accommodate up to fourteen campers in their cozy sleeping bags or five queen-sized airbeds, the Ozark Trail Base Camp has four rooms for maximum versatility. The tent comes with 14 steel stakes, a carry bag, and a gear loft to help you get the tent up in no time. Additionally, the tent is fitted with electrical cord access, excellent for when you want to set up a light or other electrical devices.
The assembled weight of this tent is 13.5 pounds, and it’s suitable for all seasons. If you’re going camping in less than ideal weather, attach the rainfly to keep the inside dry. It’s made with factory-sealed seams, so it’s durable and can withstand very wet weather. Strategically placed cut-outs in the rain fly correspond with the mesh ceiling coleman 6 person tent panels of the tent to let you watch the night sky at any time. The ceiling panels can be zipped up at any time, allowing you to control light, airflow, privacy, and how dry you stay when it rains. Ozark provides all the hardware (i.e. stakes), an E-port for powering your living space, and interior pockets and lofts for gear storage.
