10-Person Half Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent WMC-141078C1

Our Ozark trail 10 person instant cabin tent we bought last year has been perfect for us (family of 5). It was only like 200 bucks. I’m hoping it continues to hold up, so far it’s been awesome Also, I’m so grateful I went for an instant cabin tent, makes setup with young kids running around so much easier

A lot of people sh*t on Ozark trail but they have pretty solid instant tents. I’ve had the 10 person instant tent for 6 years and it’s been very sturdy. I can set it up by myself in 5 minutes and half that time with someone else helping. The side zipper gave out last year and I haven’t been able to fix it so it’s probably time for a new one. I still use it though. I Bobby pinned the side door shut lol. I also have a vevor inflatable 4-6 p tent and it’s surprisingly sturdy. I used to talk trash about inflatable tents because in my experience, anything inflatable eventually develops a leak and then it’s a game of find the leak. But the tent material is very strong. I’ve only had this tent for 1 year and I’m pretty sure down the line I’ll probably get a leak somewhere but so far it’s really good. The big draw back is that they’re very pricey.

Rather than get something expensive and that's designed only to be used by experts, I'd suggest the Ozark trail l-10 that goes on the outside of an easy up and then using the easy up as covered space. When you're camping with two or three small kids what you want is a lot of space for them to wiggle around inside the tent. What you don't want is a tent where you can't stand up or sit up and have to slide your way in and then sit inside a mummy bag motionless

Do whatever you want :)  We have a family of 6 and bring  like 3 tents the largest of which is a 10 person tent that is ridiculously large inside.  We have like a rotation to children in the tent depending on weather and who got scared and well basically don’t really care what anyone thinks?  We got the 10 person Ozark Trails tent from Walmart and that thing can fit like 3 queen size air mattresses so it’s definitely got whatever room you are looking for lol. 

I'd also recommend an ozark trail instant tent, They're the new coleman from decades past. The average mans tent, for whoever is just getting into the hobby and doesnt want to break the bank. Great for familys who may go camping a handful of times a year in mostly fair weather. They'll last some rough handling for minimum a few years to a decade, plenty of time to get use out of it and upgrade. Any from the instant tent line will be big, bulky, and heavy but quick and easy to set up even if its just one person going it. Ive personally set up a 10 person myself in less than 5 minutes. I've also used mine during souther arizona monsoon storms, high winds and sideways rain and I stayed nice and cozy with room to sit around to relax in unlike a dome tent.

The kingdom tents from REI are great. the tubeshape and features are quite nice so are the extras.... but if you want easy to put up an down the instant tents from Ozark Trail I used with my family when kids were young in cub scouts for 5+ years. I the integrated poles made for putting it up and down very quick and easy even by myself, and I could stand up and had 4 cots in them. The may be cheaper than others but there are a few brands that make the instant tents with integrated poles. I was surprised how well my ozark held up. also check out the alps brands, they are built well, but heavy.

I ran a instant up Ozark trail for well over a decade. Went a few years with a small camper and sold it to get into a nice gazelle and I couldn't be happier. I don't do hiking/backpacking due to disabilities but it's perfect for car camping. Throw it on my roof rack get to camp and 10 min later my tent is set up.
