On top of that, there’s also no zip down the middle of the divider for easy access into either room. To get into the other room, you’d ozark trail instant cabin have to remove the divider and then put it back up. There’s also 1 lantern loop at the very top of the tent for some lighting at night.
This cabin-style tent features innovative Dark Rest technology that blocks sunlight, helping you stay cooler and sleep longer. Multiple skylights with interior ceiling panels allow you to customize light and can be rolled back for stargazing or for extra interior illumination. This Ozark Trail 20′ x 10′ Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent features nine large windows for nice views of outdoors. Included removable room dividers allow you to create three separate living spaces. Tent comfortably fits four queen air beds or up to 12 campers in sleeping bags on floor. Keep yourself organized and connected with four pockets and electrical port access.
Note again that the tent is fully floored, so this can work for a group of friends at a summer festival and for other similar activities. But for a family camping, it is best to downgrade this number by half. You have to add the fly as well, so it is best to have somebody to help you. This is why I have added it to my list of best instant camping tents.
With that being said, Ozark Trail does a good job of seam-sealing their tents from the factory in most cases, and with a little help, these budget-shelters can keep you dry when unexpected rain hits. Take time to treat the entire tent with a DWR coating like Nikwax (not just the rainfly) and never leave the house without a tent repair kit in case disaster strikes. Yes, we all want a big spacious tent with room for plush sleeping quarters, but we also recommend looking for the little features that can elevate your camping experience. Interior storage is a great example, as all those little mesh pockets help keep things organized and off the floor.
The Ozark 9 person cabin can fit two Queen Mattresses comfortably. If you need more options to consider, please check around in various categories in the site, this is all about family camping tents and you will surely find something for you. This Alps Cedar Ridge Rimrock 6 Tent is also very affordable and built in a different style. I have decided to show this tent side by side with two other cabin tents with the same declared capacity.
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. There’s a lot to love here, but as the Ozark Trail Three Room Instant Cabin is still a budget department store tent, you’ll want to be aware of a few shortcomings.
