Best Ozark Tent Reviews

10P Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent

The 10P Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent sleeps up to ten people and is jam-packed full of features that we love.

First up, it features Ozark’s Dark Rest technology, which blocks out sunlight to keep the interior cool even in sunny conditions – perfect if you want a few more hours sleep when the sun comes up or you fancy an afternoon nap. Don’t worry though, if it starts to feel a little gloomy in there simply make use of the 8 large windows to soak in the surrounding scenery.

The cabin-like style of the tent features near-vertical walls which, combined with the 6.5-foot center height, maximizes interior space (although 10 people are pushing it). There’s also an optional room divider that lets you divide the interior into two rooms, but it’s lacking a porch area.

The divider sits in between the large door and features dual zippers, meaning that when the divider is in place, each room has its own entry point to the outside world, although it would be nice if there were a door on the other side for times when the divider is not in use.

We also love that the set-up takes no more than a couple of minutes thanks to the pre-attachment of the poles to the tent, so you can say goodbye to family bickers over what pole goes where.

Overall, this spacious tent has some very cool features and we’re surprised that it doesn’t come with a higher price tag.

12P Instant Cabin Tent

We just can’t get enough of the 12P Instant Cabin Tent thanks to its quirky L-shaped design and homey touches.

The ‘L’ itself can be separated into not two but three separate rooms (two of which have their own door to the outside), making this a fantastic option for larger groups of friends or families. The ‘rooms’ are all spacious thanks to the vertical cabin walls, and each can fit a queen-sized bed comfortably.

Although you could technically squeeze four people in each section, we recommend no more than three if you like some wiggle room. Alternatively, you could even opt to have two bedrooms and make one room a porch area – the choice is up to you.

Despite its unique shape, this tent takes no time to set up thanks to the pre-attached pole system – you never need to worry about losing the instructions again, phew. And we love that this tent has an E-port too so that you stay hooked up to the campsite mains.

Unfortunately, the design does make this tent prone to catching the wind, so if it’s looking blustery out there, remember to pack some tape in case you need to repair a pole at some point. The ground isn’t the thickest we’ve seen either, so if you have a spare tarp lying around we’d recommend taking it with you.

Overall, this 12 person tent offers a huge amount of space and gives you the option to divvy it up as you please – time to get creative!

4-Season 2P Hiker Tent

Ozark may be known for its larger tents, but that doesn’t mean it can’t pull a smaller tent out of the bag when it needs to – and the 4-Season 2P Hiker Tent is a great example.

Unlike many of Ozark’s tents, this one is designed for couples who like to camp all year round. One of our favorite things about this tent is that, despite its small size, it features dual doors and vestibules.

This is perfect not only because it means you can slip in and out of the tent without waking up your buddy, but you’ve got somewhere to stay your (potentially) soggy, dirty gear away from your sleeping area.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that it features a fully closeable E-port too – something often lacking in smaller tents. Similarly, there are four storage pockets on the interior, which is a decent amount for such a small tent, so you can keep your bits and bobs orderly.

Our main complaints with this tent come down to the poles – they’re a little stiff when it comes to inserting them into their holes during set-up, slowing the process down, and have been known to splinter prematurely in a few cases.

Other than that, for a bargain price, you’re getting a 4-season tent that’s light enough for backpacking (just – if you split it between two) and has an unexpected amount of homey touches.

10P Family Cabin Tent

The 10P Family Cabin Tent is another excellent choice for larger groups that comes with some extra features designed for wet weather.

The vertical walls combined with a center height of over 7 feet make this one spacious tent, and the interior can be carved into two to create dual sleeping areas or a living and a sleeping space thanks to the optional room divider. We do wish it had another door though.

It comes with an included flysheet and we love the super-thick welded bathtub floor that will stop any pesky leaks making their way inside. On top of that, the sealed seams are another great way of keeping the rain out.

Other homey touches include an E-port for electrical access and a central gear loft for added storage. The set-up will take a little longer than some of the other options we’ve looked at but, with a helper or two, shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes. We were pleasantly surprised to see that although this tent sleeps up to ten people, it isn’t as heavy as we’d expect it to be.

If you like camping in larger groups but want decent weather protection that won’t break the bank, then this is one of the best tents on the market.

8P Hexagon Cabin Tent

Is that an aircraft from outer space on the other side of the campsite? Oh no, it’s just the 8P Hexagon Cabin Tent.

This quirky-looking tent uses a hexagonal design to deflect wind yet maintain a large interior space. It’s built to accommodate up to 8 people but bear in mind that there are no room dividers so you’ll all be sleeping together. The pre-attached poles will save you heaps of time during set-up too, which you’ll appreciate if the weather takes a turn for the worst when you step out of your car.

With a large window on seven of the eight walls and a huge door on the other, this is an exceptionally light and airy tent. Adding to the homey feel are two organizational pockets plus a gear loft to keep your possessions nice and tidy. There’s also a handy clip for you to hang a lantern at night and an E-port for anyone that likes to stay hooked up.

Overall, this wind-strong design makes a great little base for camping expeditions, and it comes with tonnes of homey features too.

Base Camp 14P Cabin Tent

Looking for an enormous tent with heaps of access, storage, and room options? Then look no further than the Base Camp 14P Cabin Tent.

This gigantic tent features a ‘+’-shaped design to give you the option of creating up to five individual areas, accommodating up to 14 people in total. You might worry that things would get a little steamy with so many people inside one tent but, fear not, the 12 mesh window and 4 doors provide plenty of fresh air when you need it.

Plus, you can remove the fly if you fancy an extra breeze or a chance to gaze at the stars.

Camping in this tent really does feel like living in a mini-mansion thanks to the incredible amount of interior storage options – 4 wall pockets, 4, dual section pockets, 1 gear loft, and 2 gear hammocks, phew! Oh, and there’s also a media pocket and an E-port in case you fancy bunkering down and having a movie night in your temporary abode.

The poles aren’t pre-attached on this one, so set-up can take up to half an hour, but that’s not too bad for something this size. The stakes aren’t the strongest we’ve seen either, so it might be worth taking a spare or two because this tent needs a lot and a couple might end up bending out of shape.

If you’re looking for a way to make a tent home, then you won’t do much better than this.

1P Instant Cot

And now for something a little different, Ozark’s 1P Instant Cot. This unique tent is the perfect choice for any solo campers looking to add a touch of comfort to minimalistic camping trips.

Its major selling point is definitely the fact that it lets you sleep 16 inches of the cold, hard ground in your own cozy little pod. The steel frame supports you and your gear (up to 300 lbs in total) while the interior padding assures you a good night’s rest – say goodbye to waking up with aches and pains.

On top of that, the set-up will literally take you seconds – simply unfold it and sort of the telescopic poles and, hey presto, you’re done! And for once, disassembly is just as easy. It also comes with an included rainfly that can handle some pretty soggy weather and, for nicer weather, there are three meshed windows and doors for excellent ventilation as well as viewing your surroundings.

The main drawback of this design is the lack of any kind of porch or vestibule area, although we were pleasantly surprised to see that something so minimal does have some internal storage pockets. It’s also pretty heavy, so don’t plan on taking this on any backpacking trips.

This quirky tent certainly won’t be for everyone, but if you’re a solo camper looking for somewhere comfortable to crash out at the end of the day, then it’s definitely worth considering.

6P Instant Cabin Tent With Lights

Fed up of trying to find your tent in the dark? Or just looking for a way to create a cozy campsite vibe? Then the 6P Instant Cabin Tent With Lights is the perfect answer.

The LED-lighted tent poles really make this tent stand out from the crowd and add a touch of ambiance to your evening. And we absolutely love the fact that they have three brightness settings so you can create your perfect setting. Plus, the poles are pre-attached, so you can assemble this 6-person tent in a couple of minutes.

The D-shaped door opens rigidly to stop you from getting slapped in the face by soggy fabric on your way in and out of the tent, and we love that it’s covered by an awning to stop you from getting drizzled on too. Plus, the three large windows plus oversized ground vents will remove condensation and stop you from cooking in hot weather.

Although the center height of 5.5 ft is slightly smaller than Ozark’s usual cabin tents, the vertical walls make sure the interior remains nice and spacious. On top of that, we were very happy to see that, despite its 6-person capacity, this tent features hanging roof storage, a media pocket, and an E-port – someone grabs the popcorn.

Alternatively, if you prefer to be entertained by nature, you can whip off the fly for some fantastic stargazing.

It might be slightly more expensive than other Ozark tents this size, but if you want the perfect den for a weekend of glamping, then it’s totally worth the investment.
