2-Person Junior Dome Tent

When it's just me and the dog, I have the smaller 2 person Ozark Trail tent. It was 25 bucks and worth every penny. I've had it for 5 years now My wife demanded a tent she can stand up in so we have the Core tent from Costco when she comes along, seems pretty okay in quality. Just annoying to wrestle it back into the bag

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 (:

Lol I meant because some people call them cheap!!! I think they’re decent either way. :D

Wal Mart has a brand called Ozark Trail. I had one of their dome tents for 10 years. I camp at least a dozen times a year, including winter hunting camps in the rainy PNW. It outperformed many of my friends’ high-end tents in a lot of ways. I replaced it with a high-end model when it finally gave up because I could afford one at that point, but I was consistently impressed with that $50 tent that took heavy use without a hitch for a decade.

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.

Hard to say there's so many. To be frank anything sub 60 usd is gonna be questionable however, if you dont go out often or only fair weather camp anything will do. For a summer tent you want as much mesh as possible on the inner tent and a rainfly to cover it. I would grab a tube of seam sealer or a can of scotchguard and hit the seams inside and out. I have a temu tent ment to look like the military ICS 50 bucks work pretty well came out dry after a rainstorm test in the back yard. I also had a Ozark trails dome tent same price from Walmart.... after the rain test it was like a kiddie pool. So you can basically flip a coin on tents in this price range.

I noticed you asked about the Ozark Trail tents. I have experience with the Ozark Trail dome tents 3, 4 and 6 person tents. 4 person is only for 2 people. If you are thinking to have your sister in law with you both then you’ve got to go with the 6 person. I bought extra tents for a camp trip for visiting guests and didn’t want to spend too much money so I bought the Ozark Trail dome tents at Walmart. They are a light grey with a green fly. They are ok and totally doable but I would not say these are for high use. The material seemed thinner than my better tents. they are pretty basic if that what you are after. The one thing I didn’t like about this particular model was the light grey color along with the thinner material let in a lot of light. The tent got hotter as if there was less barrier to the elements. And it got really bright as soon as the sun was up. Edit: This comment was not referring to the Dark Rest model. It is for the regular dome tent model.

I have a Ozark dome tent, been having it for 7 years, still holds but want to upgrade my gear now
