User Review: Ozark Trail 12' x 10' Family Dome Tent

Reviewed July 30, 2006 by Nancy R.

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Design: freestanding dome
Sleeps: 6+
Ease of Setup: Easy, but fairly time consuming; Must have 2 people to get the two poles to stay in place
Weight: 18 lb.
Price Paid: $49.95

I left a tent pole at home on my old tent so I ran to the local Walmart to find something I could use for my two-week trip in the North Carolina mountains. I didn't want to spend much money since I already have a tent. $49.95 fit that stipulation. I also hate weird shaped tents because I always put a tarp under my tent to protect the floor and cut down on possible leaks. The rectangular shape makes that much easier. If I use the tent again I will put the door mat under the tent. It collects water. I would rather use an all weather door mat.

I also don't like poles used in dome tents. I would love to have a tent with sturdy metal poles, but nobody seems to make a reasonably priced tent with sturdy poles any more. I don't like D-shaped zippers because they don't seem to last long term. I don't know why they didn't put a straight zipper in the center with two straight zippers across the bottom. That design would probably be more durable long term.

The tent seemed to be well ventilated. I like the gear loft and inside pockets. The cup holders seem ridiculous, since food should never be taken in a tent. That would attract bears. I always put a large tarp over my tent, so I stay dry whether the tent leaks or not. Therefore, I can't judge that feature.
