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 .

I have one of the big Ozark Trails tents and have used it for five years without problems. OTOH my last Coleman had a zipper problem that led to it's being thrown away. Luck of the draw.

I have the generic Walmart Ozark trail 8 man version of this tent. It comes with a fly and a built in light. I work wildland fires and have used this tent on 4 - 14 day assignments. It has seen intense rain and wind. It was a great investment!

I'm lying in an 8p oztrail tent right now. Wife and kids (10 & 7yo) have gone for a wander/scoot after a great night's sleep. Mountain design 50mm "self-inflating" mats and regular sleeping bags. Had to throw an Aldi centre aisle special tarp over the top for waterproofing, but we're still dry after 60mm of rain on sunday night. 3x3m gazebo, and 6x4m ground sheet round out the basics. Can squeeeeeeeze everything onto/into the 4x4 but much easier with 6x4 low cage trailer.

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.

Their fabric is damn thin. Do not use this tent in rain. You will regret it, I promise.

r/CampingGearHas anyone bought this Amazon Basics Instant Tent?

It should be just fine for your use case if weight isn’t a factor. I own expensive tents but I also have a cheap $30 Ozark trail tent I bought in 2019, only use it for local 1 nighters and it’s still fine. Only thing I’d recommend is hit all the seams with water proofing spray, especially around the bottom where the fabric is stitched to the tarp floor. I just buy the 3M stuff that is recommended for outdoors, think it has a tent picture on the spray can.

Ozark trail makes some solid stuff for the price. I say go for it.

r/AppalachianTrailWhat's the best 2-person backpacking tent? Any suggestions?
8 months ago

This will not be a popular answer lol. I usually do 3 to 4 night backpacking trips. I bought a $30 Big Cat tent off of Amazon and used it regularly for two years until I broke one of the poles. I had a trip planned so I stopped at Walmart and picked up a $19 Ozark Trail tent. I used it all week and it was exactly what I needed. It was super easy to set up. I would recommend a footprint, though. The flooring of the tent is not the best quality but hey, it was $19.
