At 36+ pounds, it’s far from lightweight, but sturdy enough you can trust that it will last you for many years of camping trips. Keeping your gear organized is easier than ever with the provided gear loft and gear pockets. Really, the only downside is that it’s not the most spacious tent—but it’s well worth sacrificing a bit of headroom to get a fully dark tent for heavy sleepers. The tent is spacious enough for above-average-sized users, with 72 inches of headroom and an enlarged dome shape that allows you to move around comfortably inside. This dome tent is the “Clip and Camp” alternative to its standard dome tent, and boy what a difference does that clip system make! All you have to do is stake down the corners, install the frame, and use the provided clips to secure the tent to the poles.
Best of all, the 2-pole design has no center pole to get in your way as you sleep (but doesn’t sacrifice sturdiness for convenience), and it can be set up in under 10 minutes. What makes the “instant” line of Ozark Trail tents so great is how easy they are to set up. This cabin tent, for example, comes with pre-attached poles that you can assemble in under a minute.
A center height of 78 inches makes this a great choice for taller people, as any good cabin tent should. But at only 17.6 lbs this is one of the Ozark Trail Sleeping Bags lighter tents that can fit an entire family. Setup may take a bit longer, but that’s ok, you’ll benefit from the extra space in your car.
Take time to inspect your tent when you first get it (damages from shipping are common), and don’t ever “force” anything when setting up or tearing down your shelter. As stated above, durability and materials are the main pain point of Ozark Trail Sleeping Bagss. The fabrics are often thinner and less technical (regular polyester rather than ripstop, etc.), and the poles are pretty much always made from cost-saving materials like fiberglass and thin steel alloy. Generally speaking, if you go into buying an Ozark Trail tent with reasonable expectations, you won’t be disappointed.
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. The Ozark Trail ten-person tent feels very roomy, with six different windows and a completely open mesh top for you to get breeze and stargaze at night. Luckily, there is a rain fly that covers everything and even gives you a bit of an overhang on the main entrance, providing some protection from sunlight.
It sucked the trip the camping everything because the damn zipper broke and I got beast up on by mosquitoes and bugs. A super important factor when considering tents is the setup. This tent is heavy (near 50 lbs), but for all of its size, it’s not that bad. The best part of this camping tent is that the three rooms make sense.
