I love my 4 person instant pop up tent. I don't even remember what brand it is. I got it on sale from Walmart so maybe it's Ozark trail? I've had it a few years now and it still works great. Set up and take down is much quicker than my friends with normal tents.
r/CampingGear • Are instant up tents a gimmick? ->I've had fantastic luck with Ozark Trail tents. I started with a 3 person dome style, moved into a 4 person cabin style pop-up and then got a 6 person cabin style pop-up. The only reason I replaced the dome style was because I wanted to be able to stand up in the tent. The only reason I replaced the 4 person is because I wanted it to be bigger to accomodate my cot and bedding. They have never failed me, until I've tried to get them back in their dang bags - but that's when everyone becomes a failure, right?
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->I’ve used a couple 4 person instants and have been impressed. Gazelle (excellent) and an Ozark Trail very cheap but still quite good).
r/CampingGear • Are instant up tents a gimmick? ->I wouldn’t take it up Everest, but I will say this: I just pulled my ozark trails 4p tent out to waterproof and bug spray it for the year (preventative). This is year three of adventures and I’m a clumsy solo camper who doesn’t check the weather enough… I am not a perfect tent owner but this tent has held up really well.
r/CampingGear • Ozark trail hiking tent any good? ->I still use a 4 man Ozark Trail tent I've had since 1998. That thing will not die - it needs another round of waterproofing, but it'll be the kid tent when they're ready to leave mom & dad in the giant cabin tent.
r/camping • Your child is getting bigger, and wants their own tent. What kind do you get them, and how old are they when you first let them use it? ->I had an Ozark Trail for more than 20 years that I just replaced last year. I mainly used it for car camping since it was a 4 person. I would consider this.
r/CampingGear • Ozark trail hiking tent any good? ->Hang out here long enough and you'll see plenty of posts touting either Coleman or Ozark Trail. OT is the one I usually recommend. 3P for $29 and 4P for $39 and Walmart, and unlike other cheap import trash, it's actually a well-made tent with decent poles and rain fly. (I can't remember but it might even include stakes.) It's not a one-season tent - if you make sure you dry it fully before storing it, and don't abuse it, it'll last years. A 4P is just about right for a couple with a full-sized air mattress and a pack-n-play for the little one. I see your request about size and respect that - larger units are available. But since you're going for such a short time, and this is your first time, I'd like to at least make a case to consider something VERY budget-friendly. There are a lot of other things you'll need to get and this will conserve budget for things where spending money matters more (air mattress, cooler, kitchen setup, etc). The 4P is a bit over 8' square, not much smaller than you were asking, and a foot shorter than you were asking but let's face it, when you say 6' tall, you're not standing in it - in a budget dome tent, that 6' mark is only at the center. If you're crouching when you climb into bed at the sides anyway... Anyway, YMMV, it's a very subjective decision, but it's worth a look. If/when you want to upgrade, this particular tent is so popular that it's super easy to resell or give away. Just a thought.
r/camping • Tent suggestions on a budget - reviews are contradicting.. ->Go for a 4-person tent. Ozark Trail at Walmart has some decent ones. I still have one my wife and I used a few times a year for many years before the kids came along.
r/camping • What’s an easy-to-setup, budget (under $60) tent for two adults? ->I have a 4 person Ozark Trail tent. I have used it for about 3 years now. No complaints at all. With that said, I have only used it in hard rain a few times. In those times I didn't have any leaking issues at all. I think it's a good tent, but I will admit, I don't go camping in any extreme weather.
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->Came here to say this! We picked up an Ozark Trail 4-person tent for festivals and it’s honestly way roomier and sturdier than I expected for the price. Setup is super straightforward, too, my partner put it together solo with no experience whatsoever.
r/camping • What’s an easy-to-setup, budget (under $60) tent for two adults? ->Yes, we have the Ozark Trail 4-person tent that I got for like $30. Been through five heavy thunderstorms now and zero leaks right out of the box. I did finally waterproof it with some Scotchguard spray after our last trip because I didn't want to push my luck, but that thing is a tank.
r/camping • Your child is getting bigger, and wants their own tent. What kind do you get them, and how old are they when you first let them use it? ->I’ve had a 4 person OT tent for the last 15 years. Originally purchased at Walmart for ~$25. No complaints for the price.
