User Review: Ozark Trail 16' x 10.5' Family Dome Tent

Upon initial set up in the backyard, I was very impressed. I have only bought Coleman tents in the past and have been very happy with them. The only reason I bought a new tent was for more space, which this tent provided at a resonable price. Setup was typical for this size tent - definitely a two person job. We planned on camping for a week and ended up only camping for five days because of the tent's incapacity to keep us dry.

It rained about every other day, and after the first night there were puddles on both ends of the tent. The windows leaked big time and the rainfly pole over the door kept falling over, soaking the front of the tent. In order for this tent to be worth buying, I would recommend it only for very dry climates, or purchasing the biggest tarp you can find to supplement the rainfly - and for the price you would pay for the tarp, plus the added annoyance of setting that up over the tent, you might as well just get a better tent.
