Ozark Trail - 2-Person Dome Tent

I honestly think nearly every new camper/inexperienced tent-buyer should immediately go to Walmart and buy the $30 Ozark Trail 7x7 that they always have. It's probably good enough for 80% of the folks out there that don't know what to get, it's insanely easy to set up and take down, small enough to do what you say - things like "just pick it up and shake it out to clean it" - and heck, it would probably last most folks a decade, but if somebody wanted to immediately upgrade, just give it to the next homeless person you see. Shoot, I've spent more for 2 people to eat at McDonald's this past month.

I have an Ozark Trail 2-person tent that has served me well on several bikepacking trips. I've used it from early spring to late fall and had no issues, including in the rain. My assessment is that it's a decent cheap starter tent. I don't know how well the larger sizes hold up though.

I think it's worth it if you like the size. I've been eyeing this one for a while but I think it's a little too small for my style of camping. I have a 2 person Ozark Trail tent that I love. Have used it for 3 years or more, probably 3-5 weekend trips a year. It's finally starting to show some wear, so my wife wants me to replace it, but for what was $40 at the time, how can I complain? It fits me, my wife, our two large dogs, and has kept us dry and warm in some crazy Oklahoma weather.

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.

I actually have purchased 2 of the 2 person version (I bought the 2nd because I simply couldn't find the 1st) and it has done very well for me. I never took it backpacking, but it was surprisingly a decent quality tent that I didn't feel like it was going to be destroyed any time soon (unlike the tigerwall ul I just got. The ul tents are so damn thin it scares me). I think I paid $30 for the Ozark trail tent. Great value for what it is.
