Ozark Trail 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent Review

It’s a cool tent all around, but our favorite feature has to be the 360-degree views delivered courtesy of this yurt’s giant mesh windows. There are three of these large floor-level windows along the walls of the tent, plus the giant mesh doorway that can be left open in good weather. Ozark Trail 9 Person Instant Tent comes with all the necessary ingredients you need for camping comfortably, and its quick pitch time mixed with the screen room provides attractive features for a lot of campers. First, if you are not a fan of setting up tents (or manual labor in general), this one can be pitched in one or two minutes. This means its highly likely you will get to your campsite sometime after the sun has gone down, making for pitch black conditions. With the elimination of mozzies and other nasties, it makes your relaxation even more sweet, as you don’t have to worry about itchy bites or douse yourself in bug spray.

Layout wise is virtually identical to the Core Instant Cabin we evaluated for our 10 person tent roundup, but delivers those same massive interior dimensions for about $100 less. Unfortunately, the steel pole in the back of the tent did not lock into position, so this tent is defective. ozark trail shower tent 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.

Tyler has hiked every mountain range in the US and summited Highpoints in several US states as well as Germany. His favorite outdoor destinations are the Canadian Rockies, the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mt. Tongariro in New Zealand, and the San Juan Region of Colorado. This helps transport it to and from your campsite, and the 48 x 11 x 11 inch size means it stores out of sight once you are back home. It has received a lot of positive reviews as it is laden with accessories, has a good quality build, and is priced affordably.

The fabrics are often thinner and less technical (regular polyester rather than ripstop, etc.), and the poles are pretty much always made from cost-saving materials like fiberglass and thin steel alloy. Second, Ozark Trail tents 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.

The space is large enough to fit 2 or 3 zero gravity chairs as well as a small table, has full mesh on every inch of it, and a large T door for easy access. In the conclusion of this Ozark Trail 11 Person 3 Room Instant Cabin Tent review, I would stress its main bonuses, the back room which is a really useful space, and the awning. The instant setup is also something very useful and suitable for people who change the camping place frequently.
