I have had it for years and am thrilled with it. It has held up to kids camping in the living room and back yard, many camping trips to desert / forest / lake environments and even survived a bear “attack” with only a small tear. Doesn’t craftmanship mean anything anymore. Let me just tell you this, it doesn’t make a difference what model your tent is. The main thing is is that the zippers that you put in these tents are so substandard that it doesn’t last more than one or two camping trips.
I received my Ozark tent from my grandparents, which I used 9 years ago when we went camping with them. All and all for a cheap tent from Walmart I think it’s ok. I don’t know that I would recommend it for a beginner who doesn’t know his way around a tent. Not the best, but certainly better than other shelters I’ve stayed in. At least it is easy to clean and provides bug protection. The Ozark Trail tent I purchased is model HKD 08055R.
The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent. The short pole supplied for that protrusion splintered in two places and poked about four small holes in the black fabric of the laundry bubble. Better instructions on how it should be installed would have prevented the splintering, but I would rather have seen the “laundry room” not be an outside protrusion from the back of the tent.
I bought this tent and was very dissatisfied, two off the poles snapped right where they connect in the silver part. I would not recommend this brand to anyone. This is the first time to use this tent so it was brand new. 85 outside so this should not have happened.

When something says “waterproof” it does not mean it will not leak. It is made of nylon and nylon does not keep water out. It is simply a way to keep you from direct weather contact. And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee. That’s why you buy a tarp to put over and a tarp for under. So next time you go camping instead of relying on a Walmart special, use your head.

This tent is ok…I bought with the money that I had saved up and I really wanted a cool looking tent. I think that this 35 dollar tent could outlast the expensive ones.
The people who make your zippers should quit and get another profession. Your zippers are the worst in all camping gears I have bought. My Ozark tent was set up in my wooded ozark trail chair acerage all summer long.
This 10’x10′ canopy pops up easily, and will keep sun burn and overheating at bay. Browse Ozark Trail’s top-rated hiking and camping gear and more. So I called the company requesting new poles and a month later I have yet to see my new poles. I will not ever purchase from this company again. I could make a better shelter out of cardboard boxes and scotchgard. Also using a ground cover under the tent (seems obvious to me) will help prevent water from coming in from the underside of the tent.
I will never buy an Ozark Trail tent in my life and I will tell everyone I know that if they buy one what to expect. And that is you will never be dry in one because they suck bad. I have pitched the tent twice in my back yard and found that I could pitch it by myself in about one hour.
