15' x 13' 8-Person Instant Hexagon Cabin Tent

I am a big fan of Walmart's Ozark Trail "instant cabin" tents - I have the "8-Person Hexagon" and it's huge but my husband's camping trick is to get the whole thing up while my back is turned, because it goes up so fast. It takes longer to take it down because it's a bit of a wrassle getting it back in the bag. The upside of it is that it's nearly a screen-house, it's not quite as ventilated as a proper screen house but (especially with the fly off) it's pretty comfortable inside sitting around on chairs if it's too buggy out. The downside is it's not great in blowing driving rain because the fly doesn't cover the windows, but you're probably not looking to deliberately camp in Texas storms. (Another upside, though: the "instant" infrastructure makes it very easy to drop the whole tent down to half-height if the winds kick up suddenly. We used to use it in California in Santa Ana season and being able to make the tent "crouch down" when the wind kicked up was very handy.)

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

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.

The Walmart Ozark Trail tents are decent. You won’t get a big one for under $100, but I got our 8 person tent for like $120 I think. I am short so I can stand in it almost straight up.

I have this one which has been great so far. It’s really heavy though. I suppose it doesn’t take up a ton of car space - if they got the6 person version (if there is one) that would probably work out fine. There’s always space under a cot to store stuff also.

We use the Ozark instant up cabin tent, not the popup. We have used it through many rainstorms and many, many scouts putting it up and down. They aren't gentle handling jt. And it has lasted so far through the years. I am 5'2" as well and can put them up easily by myself. We have almost all of the size options of the tent. Pretty easy to pack up as well.
