It has a unique structure with a large screen room across the front of the tent for privacy. This Ozark Trail nine-person tent has a 7′ ceiling height for ample headroom. Setup takes under two minutes ozark trail instant cabin and requires no assembly because the poles are pre-attached to the tent–just unfold and extend. This Ozark Trail Cabin Tent includes a room divider that creates separate living and sleeping spaces.
The one exception to the rule here is for the larger cabin-style tents, especially those with an “instant tent” design that uses pre-attached poles. This isn’t an instant tent, but ease of use is still a high point of this model thanks to the simple setup. Just slide the roof poles into place, then plug the side and corner poles into their designated hubs and raise it all up. Two people can get this cabin set up in about five minutes, but setting the 2 Room Cabin up solo isn’t out of the question either.
I have both the Coleman 4-Person Instant Tent and the 4-Person Pop Up Tent, and in this blog post, I’ll go through all the differences between these tents. While the Coleman Instant Tent takes double the time to set up and pack away as compared to the Coleman Pop Up Tent, it has more pros…. Ozark Trail is basically Walmart’s house brand, or private brand, and I think the reason Walmart and Coleman are able to keep their prices low is because all these tents are made in either China or Bangladesh.
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. So the walls are steep and straight and the peak height along the main axes is 78 inches (198 cm). This is also an instant setup tent with the frame preattached to the tent, the declared setup time is 2 minutes only, see the steps shown in the picture below. Unfortunately, the steel pole in the back of the tent did not lock into position, so this tent is defective.
As for my Coleman Tents, the stitching is generally not too bad, there were less loose threads, and the holes in the stitching were smaller. And also, there was this sort of inconsistent mesh in 2 places around the tent. So as you realize, the ground shape is quite interesting and you can realize this also from the pictures below, without and with ozark trail canopy tent the two dividers.

For all the reasons mentioned above, we’ve found that the Ozark Trail Three Room Instant Cabin is the best Ozark Trail tent overall.
This two-room cabin tent also offers electrical cord access, and it even includes a carrying bag for your convenience. In terms of drawbacks, this is a particularly budget-friendly model from an already budget-focused brand, so you’ll need to be mindful of a few shortcomings to get the most out of this shelter. First, Ozark Trail uses sealed seams on this tent, but the fabric itself isn’t made for a rainstorm. You’ll want to give the entire tent a thorough Nikwax treatment before taking it on the road. Second, the fabric feels thin, and a few users have reported ripping it during setup, so you’ll need to take your time both setting up and taking down this tent.
This is a tall and boxy structure so it is best to use it in a quiet area. But I have seen some users reporting of using it in the winds of 50 mph. This is a freestanding construction, self-supporting and stable as you can realize from the picture below which shows the tent without the fly. But you should certainly not miss staking it properly, the stakes and guylines are included in the package. If you’re expecting no rain at all, this is a great, reasonably-priced tent.
