Ozark Trail - 13' x 9' 8-Person Instant Cabin Tent

Ozark Trail 8 person cabin tent . It's perfect . Not expensive . Holds up well unexpected downpour. My niece loves hers . I have a SlumberJack 6 man . It has amazing ventilation and a full fly for chilly nights

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 .

I have a 13x9 Ozark Trail instant tent. I can also recommend dark tents. Anyway, 13x9 is a good size, wall between sides, instant tent is a relationship saver.

That’s the biggest thing, my tent takes 5 mins to setup on the ground so if I wanted to go on a long over landing trip it still works, 9 times out of ten I’m not doing that I’m at a campground and leaving every so often and setting up and taking down every time I want to move is not something I would want to do

[this is roughly the one i have](https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Ozark-Trail-8-Person-Instant-Cabin-Tent/6000208375642) ozark trail 8 person instant tent

It sets up quick and without nearly causing a divorce 😂 that’s all I really want. If it’s supposed to rain I usually stretch out a tarp anyways, kind of a habit I picked up as a kid camping with my parents. I have Never had expensive tents so idk probably not the best person to review

Agree with needing larger than a 6p for that many people plus gear. Ozark Trail 8 person cabin instant tent is good quality and price. I can put it up on my own and have fit 3 adults plus two dogs and gear pretty comfortably. You can make it into two rooms, has built in LED lights, good ventilation and can easily stand up and walk around in it.

I'm lying in an 8p oztrail tent right now. Wife and kids (10 & 7yo) have gone for a wander/scoot after a great night's sleep. Mountain design 50mm "self-inflating" mats and regular sleeping bags. Had to throw an Aldi centre aisle special tarp over the top for waterproofing, but we're still dry after 60mm of rain on sunday night. 3x3m gazebo, and 6x4m ground sheet round out the basics. Can squeeeeeeeze everything onto/into the 4x4 but much easier with 6x4 low cage trailer.

Honestly for car camping we use one of this big instant up multi room tents from Walmart. Cheap, goes up so easily, and we have had ours for years with no problems. Plus the extra space allows for plenty of room for hanging out inside if it’s raining or really buggy, and the dogs have plenty of space. It’s gone through several big storms and never leaked. Sure it weighs a ton but who cares if I’m driving right up to the campsite? Also I like the tarp floors. They stand up to gravel tent pads a lot better

Honestly for car camping with little kids, look at the big instant up multi room ozark trail tents from Walmart. They’re heavy and pack down big, but they’re well under $200, ours has lasted for years and through many rainstorms, and it has enough room to stand up. Also the front room doubles as a screen room which is really nice if it’s super buggy. https://www.walmart.com/browse/sports-outdoors/pop-up-tents/ozark-trail/4125_546956_4128_887708_4094354/YnJhbmQ6T3phcmsgVHJhaWwie?adid=22222222265446360557&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=b&wl1=o&wl2=m&wl3=74904359694166&wl4=dat-2326704043460416:loc-71240&wl5=108901&wl6=&wl7=&wl14=ozark%20trail%20instant%20up%20tents&veh=sem&&msclkid=28b64cefffd2149f863824cddc429607&gclid=28b64cefffd2149f863824cddc429607&gclsrc=3p.ds I wouldn’t suggest a nice tent with little kids unless you’re actually backpacking. They tend to be hard on things, and the more room the better

I have an Ozark trails 2 person tent that I haven't had any issues with, that I've used for week long camping trips in all 4 seasons. However I've found their larger tents 6-8 person tents to be unreliable once the wind picks up or it rains too hard.

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

It should be just fine for your use case if weight isn’t a factor. I own expensive tents but I also have a cheap $30 Ozark trail tent I bought in 2019, only use it for local 1 nighters and it’s still fine. Only thing I’d recommend is hit all the seams with water proofing spray, especially around the bottom where the fabric is stitched to the tarp floor. I just buy the 3M stuff that is recommended for outdoors, think it has a tent picture on the spray can.

I have the same one. Perfect for one.
