Ozark Trail - 3-Person A-Frame Tent

I own 7 or 8 tents, most of them being $400-500+ , but the tent my girlfriend and I reach for most is a dinky Ozark trail 3p A-frame that we got for like $30 on a black friday sale 7 or 8 years ago. I feel like the Timberline would have significantly better airflow, so now that I've seen it, I'm probably about to buy one myself. We love the A frame and effortless setup. Another note, we went on a week long white water rafting trip to NC with our 3 kids, and they all brought friends. With the weather forecasting quite a bit of rain, I decided to go buy them a 6p coleman sundome( I believe) to destroy, so they wouldn't mess up good ones. That freakin tent didn't leak ( still hasn't) and held up like a complete champ. I'm highly impressed with it for a car camping rig, honestly. I come here often to recommend it to folks looking for the cheapest option available because it's actually a very good tent , just heavy and bulky as shit. Sorry for the essay. My bad.

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 a couple ozark trail 1 and 3 person tents that are fine, but a 6 person one that is very difficult to set up. They are not great tents, but they are cheap and mostly usable. And because they are cheap, if you use it a few times and throw it out you don’t feel bad about the cost.

I used an ozarktrail 3p tent someone left behind at a Music festival for a few years. I think it retailed for like $40
