Ozark Trail - BlockOut 6 Person Tent

I've got probably the exact same tent, came with sleeping bags for 120, its been great, fairly easy to set up if you dont have to constantly move it, and the only pieces you can seem to lose are the pegs and the piece that holds the rain fly up over the door, pretty much every time we've set it up has been in the dark and it wasn't too hard to figure out, we've had it for 3 years and it still looks brand new

I bought an $80 Ozark Trail six person tent from Walmart because my kids wanted to camp in the backyard over the summer. It got set up and taken down probably 25 times and left out for a week or two because I got tired of setting it up and taking it down. For $80, if I had to turn around tomorrow and throw it away, I'd have no issues because (in my opinion) I got my moneys worth out of it. It's done the job in terms of being both waterproof and bug-proof. All of that to say - it's holding up just fine and looks like we'll get plenty more use out of it!

The Ozark trail 6 person was just fine for a full year of use. We had some good rain storms, wind, beach and mountain camping.. We upgraded after learning more about how me and my fiance camp together and Rei had a great sale on large tents. I got rid of it after a leak happened in our storage unit and it was super, super moldy. We now have the northface wawona and love it but the Ozark trail is a good, cheap starting point.

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'm happy to see the Coleman Skydome on here. We just got an 8-person for our family of 4 after using a 6-person Ozark for three last 16 years.

I had a 6 person Ozark that withstood 60 mph straight line winds one year and a freaking tornado another. (We headed to town for the actual tornado. Got back to camp & there were tents down and lawn chairs in trees, but our chairs were under the picnic table where I had stashed them & our tent was fine, even dry inside.) Always use all the stakes, lol. Had great luck with that Ozark. I recently downsized to a 3 person Coleman Hooligan. I love it.

Go to Walmart. You obviously won’t be doing anything crazy. Get an ozark 6 person tent. Get some ozark 30 degree bags. Get the klymt static V pads they have there, or just even a basic air mattress. That will be low cost and much better than what is on amazon. Bring your own pillow. Camp pillows suck.

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.

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.
