I have owned several in my day but this one is very durable. I was skeptical when I originally purchased it. Now I tell everyone this is the one they need. I really like the height and room of this tent. The extra pockets that just out with a zipper are a nice addition. There was a procedure for pre-dampening it to somehow activate its waterproof properties, total BS.
I broke out the Ozark Trail Sun Shade on my first outing this season. The setup was relatively straightforward. It took me a few minutes to figure out that the flaps on the bottom are designed to be sandbags for use at the beach. I appreciated the directions being attached to the storage bag so they did not get lost or misplaced.
Every single one of our camping experiences has been ruined because of the OZARK tent. I would like a response to this ozark trail sleeping bag please and I do expect some compensation of some kind! Every time we put some faith in these tents we got let down.
I also sealed the two floor seams with a seam sealant. The fly sheet has taped seams, but none of the inner seams are taped. It has survived some heavy downpours with no leaks. I bought this tent for light summer use because it was cheap and big enough to stand up in. Wal-mart does not sell this tent in the U.K., however another supermarket Tesco does, but not as an ‘Ozark Trail’. I found these reviews only after having bought the tent, so I was expecting trouble right from the start.
Camp at Highway DD trailhead near the section’s start or Harper Spring around the 15 mile-mark. While this pack may not be big enough to carry all the gear you need for longer treks, it offers many of the features you would want at a good price. Bring enough water for your trip or a way to purify water to make it safe to drink. The canopy high itself comes with a useful mesh pocket for storing your smaller gadgets. Its 112-inch heart peak offers you plenty of room to create an entertainment area for your outside furnishings and friends. I got this tent for summer and fall; so far it has been great, the size is the best part.
I purchased this tent to take to music festivals and such, because it is like a small house. However, for its second trip it just fell apart. One day into a 3-day festival, I returned to camp to find both of the large poles snapped right in two. 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.
It has plenty of sleeping space and storage space as well. When the thing finally wore out I thought I would spring for something with a little bit more room. I got a 16′ x 10.5′ family Dome tent by Ozark Trail. The thing was fairly complex and that it was kind of mediocre, my main complaint is, unlike my Hillary it was absolutely not waterproof at all. It seemed like the rain came right through the top and formed a large puddles on the tent floor. I had a Hillary tent that I had brought from Sears.
I bought this tent to take my family out camping so my kids could experience the pleasure of the outdoors like I did when I was a kid. Everything was great ozark trail sleeping bag until it come a Florida rain Saturday. We would have been better off with a bed sheet. This thing has holes on the seams as big as a ink pin head.
This would be great for anyone that plans to sit down in the shelter. It performed admirably at first, being easy to set up and re-stow in the provided ruck-sack. The gear storage sacks are situated on opposite corners of the room. During set up one of the guys stepped on one of the poles breaking it. During the night some of the snow broke the other pole (both were in the section at the very end). As with any tent you need to glue the seams to prevent leaks.
