My family owned one of the family versions for year (a three room tent), and loved it. We used it many times in many locations throughout the Northwest and never had any issues. My kids got older and we were not getting out camping as often anymore, so I gave it away to another family to use to create memories with.
If you require a large tent to accommodate the entire family when camping, this three-room tent is it. The pre-attached poles enable you to get the tent up in minutes. 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. The Ozark Trail family tent is one of the leading family tents from Ozark.
The price points for tents can range from extremely cheap to astronomical. Just remember that with accredited companies, the price will match the value you get. There’s a lot of information out there about Ozark Trail tents.
And if this tent is too large, it also comes in a 6-person and 4-person version as well. This right here is the perfect tent for beginner campers. Simply put, the interior part of the fabric is made ozark trail chair with a dark coloring. This reduces the amount of light inside and also lowers the interior temperature. And it also has a total of six windows that provide excellent ventilation on warm evenings.
There are four skylight mesh roof vents that provide extra ventilation in addition to the six windows. This provides roughly 14 square feet of space per person if you do put 10 people inside. Because it doesn’t have a full coverage rain fly, you’ll also want to make sure the forecast is relatively dry before planning a trip. The Ozark Trail 10 person tent is rated for 3-seasons but we experienced cold nights inside when testing during the spring and fall. With this 10 person tent, however, that’s not going to happen.
Set up the two internal room dividers to create separate rooms throughout the tent. With a center height of 86 inches, it leaves you with plenty of room to move around without getting a pain in your neck. If you prefer a more open space, the large windows provide lots of light during daytime hours.
All told, with some aftermarket work and careful staking, the tent will hold up in mildly unpleasant wet weather conditions. I still would not recommend it in extended rainfall or during storms. A good rule of thumb for family tents is to remember that when the manufacture says there’s space for 7, it’s more accurately a 6-man tent. That counts for all recreational tents, even a great teepee. The set-up was understandably a few steps shorter, which is always nice when setting up in the dark. More than once in the dark I’ve attached a rain fly upside down and we had to restart that particular step.
