So Ozark Trail is actually a pretty good brand, for awhile. What you get is actually really thought out and you usually get very decent quality and amenities, but the durability is not there. If you are doing it from time to time, or trying to test the waters to see if you want to invest more later then I say go for it. I have a 5 year old Ozark that is a direct knock off of the Coleman sundome and I got it for like 40 bucks and it’s still going strong, with just a bit of stress along the seams, but I seal and tape those up. It’s a good backyard tent for my kids now.

I am not a fan of the Coleman tents . Especially those without a full fly . My experience has been poor performance in heavy rain . They leak at the seams I am not familiar with late summer weather in California. Each choice has ample space for bedding and gear . Each choice has good ventilation for a cabin tent . Honestly, we have has tents from LLBean , REI and Bass Pro shops . Spent way too much money, and we have found the best family tent has been an Ozark Trail 8 man , 2 room tent .. they have a Bathtub bottom made out if tarp material, and they perform very very well . My niece swears by the brand .

Ozark trail makes good family tents. We returned our LL Bean tent 2 times due to shoddy workmanship and leaks . Each was set up 3 times and used a week at a time . The Ozark trail has far surpassed the quality of LLBean as far as water infiltration ( 0 leaks in OT seams even in torrential rain) I am no fan of Walmart but these tents are great. Cheap . Easy set up . Good warranty .

Their fabric is damn thin. Do not use this tent in rain. You will regret it, I promise.

For a week of Cub Scout camp in the summer, something you can stand up in to change is good. We’ve used an ozark trail one for the past three summers and been fine, but that’s with a family of four. I’ll thread that one below so this comment doesn’t get deleted if the link gets flagged. For just one parent one scout, we’ve used the done style 4 person tents from Alps and they’re pretty comfy, but even short adults can’t fully stand in them. At that age, most of our cub scouts don’t mind sleeping just in a sleeping bag on the ground (I’m also cubmaster for our small pack). Some families like to use the Coleman quick cabins. These are heavy and don’t do great in high winds, but if you’re driving right up to the campsite they’re super quick to set up and have good head room. Links incoming

Ozark trail makes some solid stuff for the price. I say go for it.

I for one love my gazelle tent. It really feels like a buy once cry once purpose. My Ozark trail lasted many years fairly easy to put up. Then I got my gazelle and was blown away. Goes up so much easier. Materials don't feel like 1 month of combined sun exposure will make it all brittle like the cheap tents/canopies. I also just updated to a set of xped megamats for the wife and I. A bit pricy. But so much better than a air mattress or cot both in comfort and insulation for those cold nights.
