Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

But unfortunately, they are many morons out there that don’t know the first thing about camping. My husband and I decided to head to the Texas coast for our 10yr old’s first camping trip. I LOVE the room first of all , and the looks were very eye pleasing too. We set the tent up ozark trail canopy in the yard, only took us about 15min. I just bought the 9’x7′ backpacking tent 2 days ago, because I want to do some bikepacking here in FL.

You would have the entrance room for boots and other stuff and the central dome section for sitting in the evening and for fun. The remaining three rooms would then be one for parents and the other two for kids. I only regret we did not have such tents when my kids were small. As a cabin type tent, the walls are very high and almost vertical, and the peak height in the central dome area is 78 inches (198 cm). So this is a very cavernous, pleasant, and livable structure with incredible proportions, see the picture below.

The tent was only $20 bucks at Walmart, and what really caught my eye at first was that a 5′ x 6′ tent could fit in such a small carry bag (canvas type material with a carry loop). My original intention was to carry it in a motorcycle saddle bag for overnight rides. It’s cheap ($20 at Walmart), very compact, moderate weight, and a breeze to set up. However, it’s not “heavy duty” and I would not want to rely on this tent as my only shelter. In all, there are four of us who own this tent, three of us have the two pole rectangle, and one owns the three pole diamond. Each of these tents (except mine) have seen several seasons, and done quite well, although none of us has had to endure any major rainfall.

Don’t be fooled; this is one of the most important aspects to consider, as it determines the amount of sweat and frustration a model will induce upon its owner. One thing we learned over our months of testing is that a heavy tent with a poor carrying case can be a real challenge. You may want to compare the Easy Up against the Qipi Beach Cabana, the Eureka Tagalong Shelter, and the Neso 1. We also really liked the Neso 1, although it isn’t ozark tent as sturdy, especially in the wind. We also recommend the Pacific Breeze Easy Up or the REI Co-op Screen House Shelter.

I am preparing for a camping trip of 10 days and nights down in Florida where it rains a lot and the wind sometimes is pretty strong so I am wondering if the fly will stay put. There is a large space between it and the top of the tent that might be a trap for strong wind so the fly gets ripped off. I ozark trail chair think I will go shopping this week for another tent that I feel better about. Otherwise I like the tent but do not trust it to hold up in severe conditions.

Being an affordable tent when compared to some other tents which can range in the $1000’s you would be forgiven for having these doubts in your mind. Nobody wants to get soaked while out camping, I especially don’t want any of you to become drenched from the rain after a Ozark Trail recommendation on my behalf. I also rain tested my Coleman Sundome Tents, and I have the regular 6-person version, the 6-Person Dark Room version, and also the Elite 6-Person version. All these tents were able to stay dry for about 30 to 35 minutes of heavy pouring rain. Camping meets comfort at Big Cedar Lodge’s Camp Long Creek. Situated on Table Rock Lake, our glamping accommodations allow you to enjoy a serene background while relaxing in nature.

When we compared the Taglong to beefier models, we had to score lower for this reason. Still, when we consider its niche, there’s no denying it has excellent properties, like double stitching, weather taping, high-tensile aluminum, and reinforced joints. The Eurmax was followed closely by the Quick-Set Escape and E-Z Up Pyramid. Both products boast hardy components and fabrics. Every stress point on the Quick-Set Escape is reinforced, and all its seams are double-stitched and taped. We feel the E-Z Up Pyramid is almost as well-made as the Eurmax; however, its frame and canopy materials are slightly thinner.
