The Ozark Trail is the smallest tent, making it easier to fit in a small car. Obviously if you’re planning to camp only in hot & dry areas, disregard this ranking factor. If you want to know more about the selection process for these tents, or to have more info to help you decide on which one to pick, keep reading below. But for a family camping, it is best to downgrade this number by half. Setting up for this tent takes 10 minutes, but you’ll have plenty of space to spread out. If you want to bring an air mattress, it can easily fit two queen-size beds. While most packages will arrive on time, there may be circumstances and delays that our carriers may experience. For this reason, we do not guarantee the exact delivery time; the delivery issue is the responsibility of the shipping company. And International Orders will be shipped depending on the fulfillment center the product is from. Please allow business days of processing and production time for your order to ship out. Other than that, the tent looked great and did hold up to some fairly strong wind with some flex but no damage. The front room is with a huge inverted-T shaped door with zippers on the bottom and in the middle. It is fully floored and its side walls are all double-layer with mesh and zippered panels. The luggage space is not enough considering 12 person. However, space is good if the number of campers is less than twelve. The doors to the rooms don't unzip all the way to the ground. This design leaves around six inches of material on the floor, which can potentially cause you and other individuals to trip on it. Cabin-style straight wall tent designs provide more lateral space, sure, but a dome tent is better against the wind. The rounded sides make this tent well suited to withstand strong winds. Though it is a Cabin style tent, the slanted walls will give it more wind resistance than a typical cabin tent. Nowadays you can find him outside, hiking, camping, and having all sorts of outdoor adventures. They might not be great for winter camping, and they’re not rated for hurricane-force rains, but they will give you a great camping experience in fairer weather. Similar to easy setup, some tent brands are just flat out better at weather protection than others. Clean the tent with a soft sponge, a mild soap and tepid water. Let dry in sunlight, which also naturally cleans the tent. Windows are closable for extra protection against critters and the elements. Look for the DWYM seal for products that are the best in the category. It has received a lot of positive reviews as it is laden with accessories, has a good quality build, and is priced affordably. I love tents and writing about them is my great pleasure. And if this tent is too large, it also comes in a 6-person and 4-person version as well. I hope that all the info in this post will allow you to choose the best tent for you, and that it’ll be easier for you to make a choice (I know it’s hard!). The Ozark trail needs to be tied down with the guy lines to remain durable. If anything goes wrong, you can replace the poles with replacement parts (around $20), and I recommend buying an extra pole just to be safe. You will however need to replace the stakes that come included, as they are not the best quality. But if you only plan to use the tent one or twice a year, that’s probably not something you’ll have to worry about. This tent is relatively easy to set up because the poles are pre-attached to the tent. So in theory you just unfold the tent and extend the poles. Able to fit up to 9 people, it has a very large 189 square feet of interior. Drawing the eye of family campers as extra storage space, or shelter from rain/sun is paramount when camping with children. They do not provide any info about its waterproof rating, but this is a tent with a minimal fly that covers the ceiling only. The windows and doors are with panels as mentioned above so you have all protection, but with so many zippers and windows, it is best to use it in areas without much rain.
