Then you have the Dark Rest tents that are specifically designed to block the sun’s light to keep the inside cooler. If you’re also looking for a tent that can be used for gatherings—this one has electrical cord access as well as vents for an air conditioner. This will help to make the tent more comfortable during the warmer days of the year. Apart from the large windows featured on all sides of the tent, it also comes with a large front awning—ideal for a hot, sunny day. The lightweight of the tent makes it easy to transport to any location.
But if you want a tent that’s going to last for 10 years of heavy use, you’ll probably want to up your budget and go for something more bombproof like a Browning Big Horn. The most popular product in their line is the 10×10 Instant Slant Leg Tent with a blue canopy top. It is made with a steel construction frame and polyester material for the canopy, which is in line with just about every shade tent on the market today. The accompanying rainfly offers great additional waterproofing, but you can easily roll it back to open the roof vents and enjoy a clear view of the night sky. Campers who want to enjoy the views of their surroundings can simply open the nine large windows and take in the breathtaking sights of the lake, river, forest, or mountains. Best of all, the tent is built for maximum waterproofing, with taped seams on the lower walls and roof.
There was a breeze so I put bricks around the edge, and the rain tarp didn’t cover the whole of the window like it was supposed to, but that was it was a little hard to set up so it was understandable. It worked well that night and I got some rain in but nothing serious. Now a few years later I erected it in the backyard just for fun.
If you’re looking for a durable, reliable tent that won’t break the bank, Ozark Trail tents may be a good option for you. However, keep in mind that they are not as high-quality as some of the more expensive camping tents on the market. So, if you’re planning a long-term camping trip or are particularly rough on your gear, you may want to consider a more expensive option. The floor of the tent is made up of a durable PE, again, pretty standard for camping tarps or other heavy-duty fabrics.

Shape wise most Ozark Trail tents either come in a cabin or dome shape. Cabin tents typically have more room inside to stretch out thanks to their high ceilings and vertical walls, so most Ozark Trail shoppers will likely want to focus on cabin tents. Despite what you may have read, you can absolutely enjoy an outdoors experience in an Ozark Trail tent. This shelter may be the least expensive in our roundup, but it still packs some sweet features worth noting.
Each tent provides ample room for average-sized families or larger families with the 16-person tent. The Ozark Trail family tent is one of the leading family tents from Ozark. It can sleep up to 10 people comfortably, yet the tent is lightweight, weighing only 13.5 pounds when assembled. As with all budget tents, you’ll find Ozark Trail Camping Chairss are heavier, more cumbersome and generally less durable than more expensive options. Which means that if you’re planning to camp once or twice a year in fair weather, they could be a great choice for you.
It’s certainly not a technical tent, and it’s not intended for a lot of continual use, but it will serve its purpose at an incredible price. It goes without saying that there’s a little more going on here than with your average tent. But it’s not any more complicated mechanically than most other options on the market.
