Ozark Trail tents are competitive with CORE and Coleman Tents, but in our opinion ultimately fall a little short of both brands in quality and consistency. It has a tremendous amount of features and can easily be set up by one person in just a few minutes. A super important factor when considering tents is the setup. 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.
At the same time, my head wasn’t zero or six feet from the door, but about two or three feet at all times. It was one of those planned events in 2020 that was delayed for years, from what else, but the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the trip was three years in the making, the anticipation was doubly intense. However, as with many budget ozark trail canopy tents, they are unlikely to perform well in really bad weather and they are not as durable as many higher-performance tents. Coleman has a good eye for detail as many of the tents feature small, but important, details such as hinged doors. Other aspects, such as inverted seams, further improve the tents’ protection against rain.
You pick your site, and they’ll deliver and set up a canvas bell tent, airbeds, bedding, table, seating, decor, lawn games and other goodies. Additionally, Ozark Valley Glamping can set the tent up on your own property—great for kids’ slumber parties. Located in Jane, Missouri, and nearly on the Arkansas border, Little Sugar Farm is only 20 minutes from Bentonville, Arkansas. That means you can glamp by night and explore the art, trails and incredible dining in Bentonville by day. We recommend starting the day at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and grabbing a meal at Oven & Tap.
In real-world scenarios, users took more than 10 minutes to set it up for the first time. Frankly, weather-resistant backpacking tents with spacious interiors at an affordable price are hard to find. This product from Ozark does a great job of balancing all the factors and delivers a good package. It comes with a rainfly, but the overall coverage isn’t the best.
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. Working together with the three vents at the peak of the tent, you’ll have absolutely no issues with moisture buildup.
I also like that for a small tent, there’s a ton of storage options. This is great for smaller tents that don’t have a lot of extra space. The property has a handful of cabins and glamping tent options, but our favorite is the Family Glamping Unit. It features a stone patio inside a private, fenced-in courtyard. And, adorably, that courtyard is where a tiny little kids tent is set up for the smaller members of your crew.
In calmer and more predictable conditions, the teepee is resilient and supported. My name is Ben Wann, and I’m a lifelong tent camper and backpacker who jumps on every opportunity to get out and enjoy nature! I created this site to inspire others to get outside and to make the process easier for you. That allows you to sleep in one room and use the other for storing gear. Campers users looking for something smaller and lighter will find this tent from Ozark a solid choice.
I think I will go shopping this week for another tent that I feel better about. Otherwise I like the tent but do not trust it to hold up in severe conditions. Ease of setup (how easy it is to pitch and take down a tent) is pretty much always a high mark for Ozark Trail tents. These tents are built for first-time and/or fairweather campers, so Ozark Trail puts a lot of effort into making them easy to use.
Four vents provide ventilation so it doesn’t get stuffy, and there are two entrances to help you avoid stepping on each other’s toes. An Ozark Trail tent has a lot to give for very little cash. You can easily find one-person tents for less than 50 dollars; also, the brand offers grand-sized family tents for less than 200 dollars. The brand promises tents with lots of space, ample ventilation, easy assembly, and lots of storage options.
We had the chance to try out Ozark Trail’s 7 Person Teepee. A spacious, family-style tent with a startlingly low price point. In terms of sheltering a handful of people for a premium, there are few better options- though notable drawbacks come with the affordability. The type of tent you choose depends on the type of camping you will be doing. Tent designs and weight differ completely depending on activities like backpacking or casual car camping.
