Ozark Trail Windowed Family Tent, 12-Person

The only issue with the pockets is they’re located along the sidewalls of the tent. If you should need to access anything during the night and aren’t next to your pocket, you’ll be reaching across quite a few bodies. Pyramid-style tents, which have considerable overlap with the teepee, are widely considered some of the most stable in high-wind conditions.

Your tent won’t be air-conditioned, and things can get stuffy once you pack it full of people. Newer tents build in vents and roofs that you can open up to promote airflow, along with the mesh windows that will let in air when you choose. Some tents Ozark Trail Canopies are also built to keep out the sun’s rays, making them great for those who like midday naps on vacation. The tent includes two dividers, which gives you three separate living spaces—perfect for families or couples that need a bit of privacy.

Also, a rear window accessed from the outside can be staked out into a small awning that protects the tent’s interior if you need a little extra air when it’s raining. The front door runs nearly the tent’s entire Ozark Trail Sleeping Bags height, and an additional bug net door mirrors it exactly. If need be, one or both of these doors can be rolled back completely, converting the tent into an open-air structure that still keeps the bugs out.

Camping can be a lot of fun, especially with your friends or family. But rather than having each person bring their own tent, you can save space and money by opting for a larger tent that fits everyone. Right now you can grab an Ozark Trail ten-person tent for just $99, a shockingly low price for something that big.

You need to put about a dozen stakes in the ground to set it up, and that can be an issue in rocky areas or where the soil is too loose. However, in good conditions, two people can expect to have the tent completely set up in approximately ten minutes. Camping is an enduring family tradition widely considered an affordable alternative to travel. As the outdoors explodes in popularity, so too does the price of outdoor equipment. The gulf between cheap, unreliable gear and high-end technical equipment is huge, and there are few dependable options between the two. There are some alternatives, and they might be a little easier to find than you’d expect.

I received my Ozark tent from my grandparents, which I used 9 years ago when we went camping with them. I had bought this tent thinking it was going to be dry, man was I wrong. 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.

Condensation is unavoidable, but there are certainly degrees of it and tends to be exacerbated with the more people inside. In perfect conditions, dry with a predictable and steady breeze, you can have the door, the windows, and the rear awning of the tent open completely. Working together with the three vents at the peak of the tent, you’ll have absolutely no issues with moisture buildup. At that point, it’s less of a tent and more of a screened-in porch for warm, comfortable nights. I am preparing for a camping trip of 10 days and nights down in Florida where it rains a lot and the wind sometimes is pretty strong so I am wondering if the fly will stay put. There is a large space between it and the top of the tent that might be a trap for strong wind so the fly gets ripped off.

While this may be true in some cases, the price of a tent isn’t always a reflection of its performance. As you can see from the larger tents above, they come in all kinds of different arrangements. Pick what kind of shape you want your tent in, Ozark Trails will have it. The final tent I’ll review today is Ozark Trail’s largest – their 14 person, 4-room tent. And if this tent is too large, it also comes in a 6-person and 4-person version as well.
