Bought one of these last week and am currently using it. The vid is accurate about set up, it's easy and one person can do it in about 10 minutes. Held up OK against some light showers, no leaks detected. However, as with any tent, you should apply seam sealer and treat it with waterproofing spray. Ventilation is poor even though the rain fly has a rear flap secured with velcro when shut. It can fit a queen airbed but that's about all it can fit. There is little space leftover for storage or movement. Recommend for max two person use, with a smaller bed, for casual car camping. Overall, for the money, it's not bad.
I read somewhere that the general rule of thumb is you need to double the amount of people that it can hold. For example, if you have two people, you need a four-person tent, with four people you need a 6 person and so on and so forth. I believe you though because I saw a two-person tent and I was like, this is for Lee only big enough for one person. I saw the carrying case and I was like yeah, two people as long as they never move. They need to tell people last because people may not know any better and end up purchasing the wrong size.
@@babyhandgrenade4004 I'm quite big and I'm also an "over packer" I used a 2 person tent for myself and It was a bit tight. So I got a 4 person tent instead for extra space
The ability to take your shoes off before you enter is very apprciated. The floor mat out front gives you a place to stand or a place to hang your feet out while you do.
Thanks for this detailed review. You just persuaded me to give it a try. I was actually going to buy the Kelty Discovery Basecamp 4P tent, but they didn't have it at the two REI stores near me. The only REI store that carries it right now is 53 mi away in CT. In addition, I have a few more items to purchase as well but they were not available in the CT store. Which means that I would have to make two trips to two different locations. Can't bother with that since I'm camping in 3 days from now, and need a tent right away and can't wait for shipping either. So your review was really helpful. Others also said the same thing about expensive tents and cheap tents giving about the same performance and we're just paying more money for the brand name and weight. The lighter the tent, the more money we're gonna pay etc. I'm going to give the Ozark a try. I'm wondering if I could put two Intex twin air mattress in there laying them depth wise as oppose to length wise.
I just realized that the tent you reviewed and the one that’s available at Walmart now are slightly different. The one I just placed an order for is Lime Green and has a rain fly that is 3/4 way down almost a full rainfly, with a vestibule/storage, built in mud mat etc. I think it may be a newer model? It’s says Ozark Trail 4 person Four Season Dome Tent. No reviews on this one yet.
Just bought this tent. My old Coleman tent took the big one on me. I was a little apprehensive about it since it was a little under 50 bucks US. How does it hold up in the wind?
I really don't know the weather in Northern California. I have camped with it in Canada in the summer and South Florida in the winter and it did a decent job in those places at thise times of year.
It wasn't great in the Thuderstorms. The wind kind of flattened the tent out. Some water did come in through the screen windows. On the plus, when the wind calmed down it immediately returned to its proper shape.
Thank you for sharing that because I'm in Florida and storms tend to pop up even this time of year without warning. I know that I need to apply waterproof spray and seam sealant but I also have a tarp just in case.
@@Bobby-br1vq there's no reason to be rude. Some people have never put a tent together in their lives. I explained to them though that it should be pretty easy.
I have had mine through a couple of Thunderstorms with high winds. The tent wasn't damaged but it was uncomfortable. It did as well as most fibreglass pole tents I think.
@@mt-nv4jd no problem. I didn't even know there was an ad there until you told me lol. I don't really watch my own videos. Maybe I should to see what kind of advertising is on there 🤣

Thank you for the review. Thinking of purchasing it as a gift for my daughter. Son in law and grandchild. I think they would enjoy it.
If they are occasional campers it's a starting place.
Thinking about buying it to go camping with my friends.
for $37 it's a great value, and nice features. It's a good two person tent, no way 4 adults will be happy.
I agree. It's pretty small.

Thank you so much...🙂🙂🙂

Good tip. So far we have only used the tent in south Florida which is pretty dry and sandy. I can imagine with mud it would be a different storey.
Thanks for the video. I just bought one at Goodwill for $3 looks to only been used once if any.
That's a good deal.

I am not sure about the air mattresses.Its on the smaller side for a 4 person tent.

No reviews on this one yet.
Thank you for assuring me that it only needs one person .💯
Definitely a one person set up. Easybwith one.
thanks I will buy this to live in skid row as a homeless man
Just bought this tent. My old Coleman tent took the big one on me. I was a little apprehensive about it since it was a little under 50 bucks US. How does it hold up in the wind?
It holds together in the wind, but I have had it blow flat on me in a couple of thunderstorms. No damage, but not ideal either.
@@travelbywater9378 fair enough! Thank you for responding sir
If I’m going to clear lake in San Fran 26-31 do you recommend I buy a new one since I purchased this one?
First time camping so
I really don't know the weather in Northern California. I have camped with it in Canada in the summer and South Florida in the winter and it did a decent job in those places at thise times of year.
this helps, thank ya
🌟
How did it hold up through thunderstorms? Any water get in?
It wasn't great in the Thuderstorms. The wind kind of flattened the tent out. Some water did come in through the screen windows. On the plus, when the wind calmed down it immediately returned to its proper shape.
Thank you for sharing that because I'm in Florida and storms tend to pop up even this time of year without warning. I know that I need to apply waterproof spray and seam sealant but I also have a tarp just in case.
Does it come with the rain top?
Yes it does.
I'm looking for a tent on the cheaper side to use for backyard camping with my family, would you recommend this tent?
I would, absolutely. For what you describe, it is a nice functional tent.
Does this fit a queen size bed?
I haven't tried. My guess would be that it would take an inflatable queen mattress. Wouldn't be much room left over.
Yes but not much else
this is why i’m here😂mine didn’t come with instructions😂
Inside of bag
Look in the pack...😆
What is the height of it? Thanks!
A little more than waist height I guess?
did you need stakes or pegs?
Can't remember for sure though. It does come with pegs, sometimes I use them, some times I don't. Not sure if I used them that day or not
@@travelbywater9378 I didn't know if it did or not, bought some anyways🤷♂️
Depends how fat they are. I think the same people that do the sizing chart on Old Navy's clothes also rate how many people these tents will hold. 🤣
How can I get this tent
I bought mine at Walmart in Tampa Florida.
That’s a summer tent. Not a winter or snow tent.
Agreed. We have only used it on South Florida.
Depends on location. Winters down in Florida can be warmer than summers in other locations
Did not show how to put roof.
Oh no!! What will you ever do??
Putting on a rainfly is pretty easy. It's just basically like throwing a tarp over the top though I imagine you would have to secure it in some way.
@@Bobby-br1vq there's no reason to be rude. Some people have never put a tent together in their lives. I explained to them though that it should be pretty easy.
Are these tents still "only intended for perfect weather"?
I have had mine through a couple of Thunderstorms with high winds. The tent wasn't damaged but it was uncomfortable. It did as well as most fibreglass pole tents I think.
@@travelbywater9378 this answered my previous question. Thank you sir@
2 minutes in and you're running commercials?
TH-cam decides where to put the commercials.
@@travelbywater9378 did not know that. sorry.
