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 .
Go to Walmart and buy some Ozark trail camping goods .

It depends upon the tent you get if it will be hard to put up by yourself. I did a 6 person ozark trail dome tent by myself and I currently put up my 6 person Coleman Carlsbad by myself. The Carlsbad is shorter than the ozark trail but both went up moderately easy, not as easy as one of those ones you just fling and it’s set up but those tend to be a little stuffy inside.
Honestly I don’t think you’ll have much trouble. I bought a 6 person Ozark tent for me my son and partner when we went to Utah last year and hadn’t gone since I was 11 or 12 and set it up on my own because they’re so different now lol!!!! Didn’t have to slide poles through fight anything etc. mine just clicked to the poles. So as long as you feel comfortable with the price and brand 2 person Ozark should be ok! Esp to start off. We had good blankets weren’t cold at all had 0 tent issues (:
I've had a Ozark Trail 6 man tent from Walmart for several years. It packs up nice and small, and will comfortably fit two people with all their gear. I can set it up by myself in about 20 minutes. You'll want to throw a tarp over it for when it rains.
The Ozark trail 6 person was just fine for a full year of use. We had some good rain storms, wind, beach and mountain camping.. We upgraded after learning more about how me and my fiance camp together and Rei had a great sale on large tents. I got rid of it after a leak happened in our storage unit and it was super, super moldy. We now have the northface wawona and love it but the Ozark trail is a good, cheap starting point.
I had a cheap Ozark Trails dome tent for 20 years and it never failed me, or friends that used it, until the last year when friends said some water was getting in. I could've taped and glued the seams and sprayed water proofing on the fly, but hell, id gotten 20 years of good use and had already been using a different tent myself for a few years. Id suggest them for anybody just getting into camping, or doing a lot of car camping. But, for backpacking, bikecamping, or kayak camping, id suggest something that is lighter and packs down smaller.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
