Ozark Trail Windowed Family Tent, 12-Person

Too small and you are stuck with a cramped space for the duration of your trip. Insulation and water-resistance are also important, for obvious reasons. So look beyond the sales price and dig into the features you’ll need before selecting a tent. 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. Ozark Trail tents are a great alternative to the more expensive, heavy duty varieties. They also provide ample room for two people with all their gear to live comfortably without feeling cramped.

One of them has an additional y-shaped piece with a rubber stopper on the top. In less than favorable conditions, the Ozark Trail 7 Person Teepee struggles to keep up, particularly when there’s a crowd. The recent addition of a rear awning has done a lot to mitigate the stuffiness, but still, it can feel pretty hot and humid when you have to batten down the hatches and have the entire gang with you. My best advice to deal with this is to try and set the tent up with the awning facing the wind. This will allow for a little more intentional airflow and help keep you dry from both the rain and accumulated internal moisture.

Insert the rubber stoppered piece into the tent’s apex and the “bottom” of the pole into the reinforced corner on the tent’s floor. At this point, you should take the other pole and insert it into the slot on the “Y” shaped piece, then place the bottom of the pole in the opposite corner.
