My husband and I highly recommend the Ozark Trail 16x16 Instant Cabin Tent. We put it up for the entire summer at one campsite.

Pros

  • Kept the rain out
  • The front awning lets you sit under it in the rain and not get wet
  • Excellent value for the money

Cons

  • NONE
  • NONE
  • NONE

We bought the 3 room/12 person tent with the awning in front. We set it up along the Zumbro River in Millville, MN on May 30, 2016. Today is August 26. We plan to leave it there thru September.  

We noticed a little tear on the rain fly, so last night we took the rain fly off and Scotchgarded it.

This tent has been thru many, many heavy rains and winds. We have spent many nights in it during severe storms just to see how it would hold..totally amazing! It has good ventilation and is quite roomy.

In the beginning we didn't know if we would camp enough to warrant the expense of a camper so we thought we'd try the whole experience in a tent. We have tented for many years in a Coleman tent and this Ozark Trail far outperformed it. OZARK TRAIL, thank you for making such a great place to vacation.

Poles break supports in top break. Buttons that lock supports break hard to manipulate. Fails in brisk breezes or medium rainstorms.

Pros

  • Intersting design with common room for dressing and storage or bed
  • Nice appearance
  • Flaps for fan ac vent and for power

Cons

  • Poor quality poles and roof suport system
  • Doors flap gets trapped in zipper

Walmart should refund everyone who bought this tent, a class action suit if not corrected. Not easy to assemble or put away. Two person best. Not a 10 minute job, especially in rain or windy conditions. You must tie down or it will collaspe

Only used 4 times in good, rather OK in wind, fair in rain, fair in rain and wind, breaks and collapse on you.
