Ozark Trail Windowed Family Tent, 12-Person

Ozark Trail tents such as the 7 Person Teepee are perfect affordable options for camping excursions, particularly if you like to go outdoors with the family or a large group of friends. A key factor in any tent, particularly in big group tents such as this, is good ventilation. 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.

Underneath the fly, the Mineral King 3 has a full mesh dome with a waterproof, tape-seamed bathtub-style polyester floor. The overall feeling inside the tent is airy and comfortable. The tent doors are nearly wall-sized, and after you unzip them, you simply stuff them into pockets, rather than having to roll and toggle-tie the fabric. Another two hanging pockets plus loops for a ceiling hammock provide simple yet effective interior storage.

In real-world scenarios, users took more than 10 minutes to set it up for the first time. Setting up the screen room and attaching the rainfly does take some extra time. Still, first-timers were able to manage ozark trail chair it within 12 to 15 minutes. Users also liked the fact all the rooms have separate entrances. With 235 square feet of floor space and a straight-walled design, there’s plenty of space for 4 families.

One removable divider is made with silver-coated fabric, making it a potential movie screen for optimal outdoor entertainment. The biggest material difference between the Sundome and our other picks is its crunchy, tarp-like polyethylene floor. The other tents in this guide all ozark trail chair have bathtub-style tape-seamed polyester floors, which is the standard among high-quality tents. The Sundome’s tarp is clearly a budget material, but for what it was, we found it user-friendly. It’s easy to mop up after wet paws and spills, and it doesn’t hold moisture.

However, it’s important not to set your expectations too high. Like a lot of cheap dome tents, there’s not a lot of space. The Coleman Sundome 3 (a notable competitor to the Ozark Trail 3 Person Dome) also only has 49sq feet of space.
