The Ozark Trail 20' x 10' Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent is just what you need to be ready for the camping trip of a lifetime. It sets up in just two minutes and requires no assembly, because the poles are pre-attached to the tent, so all you need to do is just unfold and extend. This cabin-style tent features innovative Dark Rest technology that blocks sunlight, helping you stay cooler and sleep longer. If you’re also looking for a tent that can be used for gatherings—this one has electrical cord access as well as vents for an air conditioner. This will help to make the tent more comfortable during the warmer days of the year. If you’re a small family who wants a tent that can fit you all comfortably, this is an excellent choice. Set up a bed for the parents and let the kids camp on the other side of the tent. If you want a tent that can be used throughout the year, this is an excellent choice. All seams are sealed, and it includes a rainfly that keeps you protected when inside. It vents well and can be very private or totally screened off yet enjoy great views. We loved the tent, until… we camped by a lake in Ga, north of Atlanta. It unfortunately rained on us two days pretty much straight. The tent leaked from the roof, right through the rain fly. We had to tape plastic sheets all around it and throw a large sheet over the top so we could sleep without having heavy drips hit our faces. You have plenty of mesh around and if you have to keep all the windows and doors closed, you still have a large vent on its narrow side, see the picture below. We also focus in on some top brands that make the best air tents on the market, such as Quechua, Heimplanet, Coleman, and most notably – Vango. Weight-wise, with its 32.6 lb (14.8 kg) this is not a lightweight tent, but this is a normal weight for such a steel construction. You will see in the comparison table below that it is lighter than some of its competitors. There is lots of mesh around and on the ceiling, so this will work great if you use the tent in a warm climate. No issues with the tent, it rained the first night and no leaksI recommended it. Perfect Size – I am an avid camper and size is important to me, due to my height at 6’1?. Roof is plenty tall and two queen sized mattresses and two large dog kennels fit perfectly with room left to walk. However, you’ll want to shop elsewhere if you’re serious about camping or need a specialty tent for backpacking. You can find better options at specialty camping stores like REI, Bass Pro Shops, and Cabela’s. You can get one for couples, families, or large groups, and some come with many features. The rugged frame and durable covering help make it sturdy when the weather doesn’t cooperate. In addition, it’s lightweight for hauling to and from your campsite. Furthermore, it has high-quality materials and features a waterproof rainfly and strong frame to ensure protection from the elements. Setting up this tent is a breeze, with snag-free, continuous pole sleeves and patented Dark Room Technology that blocks 90% of outside light to ensure a good night’s sleep. The tent is also well-ventilated, with mesh windows and roof vents that help reduce condensation. Cabin-style tents provide more headspace and allow you and your gang to walk around more. What I particularly like about this family tent is that although it’s a large tent, it’s more of a dome-style construction. Most of the larger tents are cabin-style, meaning they have walls that are angled straight up. An 8 person tent simply defines the size of the tent. But there are actually quite a few different 8 person tents, all with their own features, and which one will be best for you depends a lot on what you’ll use it for.
