The Ozark Trail Dark Rest Tent line is all about comfortable sleep. This series is focused on catering to those campers who prefer to sleep in a fully dark space. It’s on the heavy side, and it’s also not the type of tent you carry in a backpack. Assembly ozark trail tents can be tricky, especially if you’re a first-timer, so be patient. It does require some assembly and can be done within 30 minutes with a helping hand. There are four large doors and 12 windows, so lots of light comes in during daytime hours.
In terms of sheltering a handful of people for a premium, there are few better options- though notable drawbacks come with the affordability. Ozark Trail tents are generally less expensive than some other camping tents on the market, so they can be a good option if you’re on a tight budget. But this brand isn’t perfect, as with camping gear, you do often get what you pay for. The best part of it all was it was super easy to “pop up” and build.
When something says “waterproof” it does not mean it will not leak. And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee. So next time you go camping instead of ozark tent relying on a Walmart special, use your head. 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.
The tent is with two large doors in the central room, one on each side, and they have mesh windows plus panels. You have two extra poles included in the package for this purpose only. The side rooms are with 3 large windows each, one on each side, so you have a home feeling in this tent. Spacewise, this tent offers 250 square feet (23.2 m²) of the floor area. This is formally 1.55 m² per person so it can definitely accommodate the declared number of 15 people for sleeping on the floor, see the picture below.
However, the quality of the tent fabric itself is a little less straightforward.The durability of fabric is measured using denier. Since denier is an indicator of the thickness of the thread used in a material, it follows that the higher the denier, the more resilient the fabric is. I like my tents to have a denier over 100, but for light/moderate use, something around 50 works well too. The tent is open at the top with a weather rain fly that fits over the dome. The fly is so small it allows rain to blow up under and then runs into the tent.
