Ozark Trail 2-Person Backpacking Tent, Made with Recycled Polyester Fabric, Blue

I noticed a lot of the reviews on here are from people who don't do much backpacking so I'll give a shot at it. The packaged weight of the tent is 7.6 lbs which sounds like far too much for a backpacker at first. Out of the bag, yes, it is too heavy. With less than $30 though you can replace the heavy and bulky fiberglass poles with lightweight and quality aluminum poles. This increases the rigidity and feel of the tent substantially and likely saves at least a pound. The included stakes are very, very thick and heavy steel ones. They seem very durable but for $10 at Walmart you can replace them with ultralight aluminum stakes that weigh practically nothing. I wish I had a scale with me so I could accurately measure the new weight but I'd estimate it between 5 and 5.5 lbs. This makes it comparable in weight to tents that cost hundreds more. I haven't weather tested this tent much yet but I will update this review when I do. I don't foresee any leakage problems but it never hurts to seam seal and spray a waterproof coating on. I've had really good luck with far cheaper Ozark tents in the rain and I don't see this being any different. I love the overall design of the tent. It feels super roomy inside and as a 6'3” large male, there is plenty of room for me and my significant other and our sleeping pads. The tent is also quite tall and there is plenty of room to sit up and move around. The colors are rich and look even better in person than on the website. This seems like a great upgradable tent for beginners or those on a budget. I hope some more attention from youtubers or bloggers comes to this tent because it really has potential. It's definitely worth the price and I hope it breaks down the barrier for more people getting into backpacking.

Soo fun!!! Ok let me start by saying I have never actually been camping in the woods... but backyard camping and living room camping has been super fun with my lil ones! Not being an experienced camper this tent was super easy to set up. Once reading the directions it was up in under 10 minutes. This Ozark Trail two person tent fits just that or in my case 1 adult an two toddlers! Lol It is around 7 ft in length by 4 ft wide. (Give or take a few inches.) My 6'3'' husband can lay with a little room left at foot and head..It will fit a full size inflatable mattress. This tent seems very well constructed and comes with a rain fly to keep you dry from weather. Nice ventilation with windows and pockets elevated for storage to keep keys, phone, etc dry and safe off the ground. We are looking forward to our first trip to the woods. I am super happy with this tent and can see using it for years to come!! Would definitely recommend!
