A simple Google search will provide a dozen locations to purchase an Ozark Trail tent. The thickness of tent fabric will change with the thread count and water-resistance of the tent. Yes, Ozark Trail tents come with stakes as part of the standard equipment.
And if this tent is too large, it also comes in a 6-person and 4-person version as well. However, I do always recommend you add a spray coat or sponge… Place end joints firmly onto the two other longest poles that will be the sides of the your Screenhouse.
But at only 17.6 lbs this is one of the lighter tents that can fit an entire family. Setup may take a bit longer, but that’s ok, you’ll benefit from the extra space in your car. Not only that, but the dome tent will keep you safe from the elements better than any cabin tent out there.
This Ozark Trail tent is big enough for two queen air mattresses or eight sleeping bags thanks to the 121-square-foot living space within the tent. It also has a big door on the front with roll-down flaps to cover the entrance and protect everyone from the elements. There are also two ceiling vents to help with ventilation and four windows that can be zipped shut for privacy.
A good tent allows you to fully enjoy the outdoors, without having to spend 2 hours trying to set up the tent, only to give up & end up sleeping in your car; it sucks.

Essentially, the rain fly for the Ozark Trail was integrated into the tent directly. This 10 person tent is a whopping 20’ by 10’ and splits into three rooms. You also might be able to squeeze in another twin-sized bed if you want to pack more people in. Setting up the screen room and attaching the rainfly does take some extra time. Still, first-timers were able to manage it within 12 to 15 minutes.
Only complaint was the zipper hangs on the front door flap, destroyed flap and zipper. Bend each pole into an arch and secure it at the corners of the tent at ground level by placing the tent pole into the pin ring. Connect the snap-quick clips to the tent poles to give the tent shape. On the other hand, I’ve had some of my Coleman Tents for about 3 to 4 years now, and I never noticed any of the tent fabric becoming sticky. And the steel poles of my WeatherMaster tent are still holding up fine. Also, my steel wall poles were showing signs of rust even though I did my best to dry them before packing.
I just thought it wasn’t for me and the idea of sleeping in a tent wasn’t very appealing. But then I decided to go on a trip, and I haven’t looked back since.

Second, Ozark Trail Camping Chairss are affordable because they use very basic materials. All Ozark Trail poles are either steel alloy or fiberglass, and the fabrics used throughout the tent are typically on the thinner side. Again, not a deal-breaker, but don’t expect these tents to stand up to the same use and abuse as their premium alternatives from brands.
They’re not built for heavy winds, and they certainly aren’t made to stand up to heavy snow. Having room to spread out inside a tent is great, but unless it’s after dark or raining, chances are you won’t be spending any more time inside your shelter than you absolutely have to. Nobody wants to spend all day sitting in direct sunlight either though, and that’s where a tent with a screen room like this Ozark Trail 9 Person Cabin comes into play. Oddly enough, Ozark Trail’s most basic, base bones shelter takes the title of most durable. We chose the Ozark Trail Clip & Camp because unlike larger cabins with plastic hubs and countless poles, this traditional two-pole dome has the fewest number of parts that can potentially fail.
But the waterproofing is good enough to keep you protected from the occasional rains. All in all, they are great for summer camping trips. These instant tents are designed for a small group of people (up to 4 persons) and can fit one queen-sized air mattress or up to four people in sleeping bags on the floor. In terms of drawbacks, this is a particularly budget-friendly model from an already budget-focused brand, so you’ll need to be mindful of a few shortcomings to get the most out of this shelter. First, Ozark Trail uses sealed seams on this tent, but the fabric itself isn’t made for a rainstorm.
