If anything goes wrong, you can replace the poles with replacement parts (around $20), and I recommend buying an extra pole just to be safe. The Gazelle is the biggest and heaviest out of the 4; you’ll need a big car to fit it, so make sure you measure the space you have in your car beforehand. Obviously if you’re planning to ozark trail wall tent camp only in hot & dry areas, disregard this ranking factor. It’s the smallest size out of the 4 tents in this comparison. With over 1,000 5-star reviews, you really can’t go wrong with the Coleman 8 man instant tent. We’ll see the best 8 person INSTANT tents available on the market today, with complete reviews & comparison.
The Dark Room Technology used in its design is really what adds that extra level of comfort to this 10 person tent. Because it’s a family cabin the walls are nearly vertical – providing additional interior space. Unlike most tents with this much space, the floor features a catenary cut instead of a bathtub design. To review the performance of the Ozark Trail 10 person tent, we tested it in three seasons and a variety of weather conditions. We then stacked our results against our findings for the other top best large tents to bring you a clear comparison.
Also take a look at the cool interior light, great feature to have. Absolutely, heck two of the best three room tents that I recommend is by Ozark Trail. However, I do always recommend you add a spray coat or sponge on a coat of water proof yourself. This is an inexpensive way to turn a Ozark Trail into a affordable waterproof tent. One for the ground and one to hang over the tent to keep you extra dry.
The Ozark 8 Person Instant Tent is the best value for money out of the 4 tents we’re reviewing today. It’s a sturdy tent made by CORE, a small company based in the Midwest, privately owned and known for great designs. We’ll be looking at the 4 best products in the category, and compare them to each other based on 6 features + pros & cons. There are many other tents that are “better” but Core tents are very solid and offer really good bang for buck. The stakes provided with an Ozark Trail tent are generally made of steel, but there have been common complaints about broken stakes.
On top of that, all of their tents are affordable, come with an electrical cord port, and set up in minutes. 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. It doesn’t feel like they just slapped some room dividers into the tent. When combined with the porch, the tent’s footprint is a square.
While a waterproof tent should be able to handle much heavier rain. I have bought very expensive waterproof tents in the past only to wake up during the night with water dripping on my face. So while it is important that it claims to be waterproof, never fully rely on it. …we’d recommend that five people with two queen sized air mattresses will be super comfortable in the Ozark.
It can fit four queen-sized airbeds and has a center height of 86 inches. This tent features wall panel windows and a mesh roof for ventilation as well as an oversized entryway. The weight of this tent is 81.04 pounds, and it’s suitable for three seasons, excluding winter. It includes two rope lights, e-port, media screen, hanging shelves, built-in storage pockets, and built-in closets. This is a two-person tent measuring 4.5 by 7.33 by 3.5 feet. It can fit one queen-sized airbed and has a center height of 42 inches.
The most important thing to remember when you read product descriptions on any tent, not just Ozark Trails. Being water resistant means the tent can handle maybe a light shower, but in a heavy downpour, expect to get wet. Ozark Trail tents are a pretty popular tent for many campers across America. One of the main reason for their popularity is their darn good price.
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. After spending a lot of time with Ozark Trail tents, my final verdict is that they’re excellent budget friendly tents. They might not be great for winter camping, and they’re not rated for hurricane-force rains, but they will give you a great camping experience in fairer weather. That’s why I like Ozark Trail – their tents provide strong protection against wind, rain and sun across the board. Certainly it’s not the best weather protection money can buy, but for summer campers and those will be avoiding bad storms, they will hold up just fine. Certain tent brands make easy setup a priority, and Ozark Trail is definitely one of them.
