I’ve got the oztrail tent and it’s fantastic. Takes 15-20 minutes to put up solo using screw in pegs. Takes even less to pack down. Make sure if you have the blackout fly closed completely to set an alarm as the sunlight won’t come in and wake you up 😆
I use mostly to camp at the Bathurst 1000. Last year they had winds up to 80-100km hour gusts that was enough to destroy many marquees and tents and mine was still standing but my marquee wasn’t so lucky.
I've got the 4P and we've just copped a few days of marine wind warnings by the coast with 60km/h + winds. Tent is absolutely fine. Haven't bothered pitching up the awning as the vestibule gives good shade anyway. Noticed other tents close by really copped it but ours was standing proud with no dramas.
This is me, im cheap and i dont like to spend much time setting up the tent. I would get a walmart, ozark trail 4P instant tent. For rainy/sunny days, will just have a large tarp over. The tent is tall, sets up in 5 mins or less, tarp setup another 10 mins and im done.
I’ve used a couple 4 person instants and have been impressed. Gazelle (excellent) and an Ozark Trail very cheap but still quite good).
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.
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.
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.
Yep. I’ve had my Ozark trail 4 person tent for about 5 years now, we camp at least three times a summer usually more. The tent still is in great condition no leaks (I did spray it with weatherproofing when I first got it) and all the zippers are still good.
