Ozark Trail Outdoor Equipment & Camping Gear

This is almost a full-sized door, but I do need to duck a little when entering. It took me about double the time to set it up on my own (so, 20 minutes). But unfortunately, because I’m not tall (I’m 5’3″), I couldn’t get the rainfly up on my own, and that’s where I got stuck.

So it must rely on vents and you have them here 4 in total, 2 floor vents and 2 ceiling vents, one pair on two opposite sides, one floor vent is shown above. They are with mesh and zippers (you need to unzip the mesh to raise the Velcro stiffener), so this is well done, no objection here at all. Surprisingly, zippers are on all panels and this is what you would not expect in such an affordable tent. But this was a must in view of its dome structure, otherwise panels on the curved windows would not close the space. Ozark Trail 12-Person Base Camp Tent with Light is an incredibly affordable freestanding dome structure for summer camping, with 8 windows and 2 doors.

The Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent has just 1 door, which is a D-shaped door, and it’s located somewhere along the length of the tent. The entire Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent takes about 10 minutes to set up, when my brother and I were setting it up together (2 people). Finally, attach all the pole clips, place the rainfly over the Ozark Trail tent, secure it, and stake out the entire tent. To set up the Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent, first slide the 3 fiberglass poles through the roof pole sleeves. For ease of use, I looked at how easily I could set up this Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent on my own, and with 2 people as well.

Weight-wise, with its 49.08 lb (22.3 kg), this is a heavy tent with the Area/Weight ratio 0.84 m²/kg, but this is not surprising in view of so many poles. You will see how it stands when compared with some other tents in the same size range. This tent is so affordable and it really looks cool so that it makes sense buying an extra tarp and put it above as a rain shell. You have some nice tarps from Kelty that would do the job, check this Kelty Noah’s Tarp Sun Shelter, the largest is a 20 x 20 ft square. It would not go all the way to the ground because the length of such a half-sphere is around 25 ft, but if you spread it like a roof and fix with guylines it will do the job.

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. The tent also includes hanging organizers, storage pockets, as well as a media pocket to help keep the tent organized.

There are 2 room dividers and 4 doors to maximize privacy or create one large room. This is a 10-person cabin tent, featuring three rooms and measures a total of 20 by 10 by 6.5 feet. It can fit three queen-sized airbeds and has a center height of 78 inches. If you are looking for ozark trail camping lightweight options to reduce your load, this is not the brand for you. Ozark Trail can maintain its affordability by using heavier, cheaper fabrics. In the realm of outdoor gear, especially with items like sleeping bags and tents, the higher the price tag, the lighter the weight.

If you like an organized space, place small items in the interior pockets or attach things to the gear loft. There’s also a media pocket to fix a tablet or iPad and ePort access for movie nights. If you’re a small family who wants a tent that can fit you all comfortably, this is an excellent choice. Set up a bed for the parents and let the kids camp on the other side of the tent. The large windows provide you with lots of light and air during the day while the front awning provides shade.

This Ozark Trail cabin tent is a 10-person cabin design, featuring two rooms and measures a total of 168 by 120 by 86 inches. It can fit two queen-sized airbeds with a center height of 86 inches. So yes, the Ozark Trail is an absolute steal of a deal if you’re into the bell tent design, but there are a few shortcomings you’ll want to be aware of if you’re considering it. First, although it’s a great space to hang in good weather, the yurt’s ventilation struggles to keep up in serious heat.

The Ozark Trail Backpacking tents have a lot to offer with polyester materials and easy setup. It has a carry weight of 27.1 pounds, and it’s suitable for three seasons, excluding winter. In addition, it includes an e-port, movable hanging media pocket, hanging organizers, storage pockets, and a zippered gear pocket. 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. We found the best Ozark Trail tent on weather performance is the 4-person Dome that comes in the 22-piece tent combo.
