And now, here’s all the testing that I did with this Ozark Trail tent, and of course, I’ll show you why I don’t really like it that much. The cool thing about these vents is the fact that you can put a cooling system inside ozark trail canopy tent them. You can receive even more air circulation, which is always welcome in the hotter months. Just make sure there’s no chance of rain when you use an air conditioner.
I did not continue to set up the screen porch (which has no floor) or put the rainfly on. I did go inside the tent to stand up and not hunched over and noticed the mesh ceiling with lots of ventilation. I’m sure this tent is good during a wind storm and rain/condensation issues. If you can afford to spend more on a family tent, we recommend The North Face Wawona 6.
Keep yourself organized and connected with the four pockets and electrical port access. If the Mineral King 3 is out of stock, or if you’d like a slightly larger tent, we recommend the Marmot Tungsten 4. The Tungsten 4 ozark trail canopy tent shares many of the Mineral King 3’s best features, and provides 10 square feet of additional living space as well as excellent weather protection—as long as you set it up properly. Like our top pick, the Tungsten 4 is a sturdy, two-door dome-style tent that can be deployed in about 5 minutes.
You also might be able to squeeze in another twin-sized bed if you want to pack more people in. Ozark Trail makes tents of all sizes, but we’ve found larger family camping tents to be their forte. All the windows and doors also have to be closed, because otherwise, the rain would drip right into the tent. Even in light rain, the rain does get on to the window and door mesh, so it’s best to keep them full closed.
You can also leave the rainfly off, and stargaze at night when it’s not raining. There’s also 1 lantern loop at the very top of the tent for some lighting at night. I can’t reach this either, but you should be fine if you’re a little taller. The door has 2 zippers for the bug net, and 2 for the door itself. The zipper quality is not the best, it’s a little bit noisy, and it always, always snags from the outside because of this green rain cover. The length of the Ozark Trail tent is about 13 feet and 9 inches, while the width is about 9 feet and 11 inches, so slightly smaller than the marketed dimensions of 14 by 10 feet.
I’ve read many people have had the same problems and went to army surplus to buy a bigger durable storage bag.These are the two QUEEN Mattress I received with my bundle order. I did not open these boxes because they too needed to be returned with the tent. The Ozark 9 person cabin can fit two Queen Mattresses comfortably.
