Why We Love This Deal

While Men’s Journal has already compiled a list of the best camping tents, if you’re looking for a backyard tent for the family, that list might not have what you need. Instead, you might want to check out something from Ozark Trail, the extremely affordable Walmart house brand that’s surging in popularity this summer with an unusually large-capacity tent and an even more unusually low price.

The Ozark Trail 10-Person Dome Tent is just $133 and ships free. That price is no typo, and it’s bringing a lot of attention from shoppers who are used to seeing similar prices for basic 3-person tents from major players in the outdoor scene, a fraction of this tent’s size. As a result, dozens are buying this tent every day. Here, we’re going to discuss why and if you should be one of them.

Ozark Trail 10-Person Dome Tent, $133 at Walmart

Pros

• Large and spacious, will sleep 5-7 comfortably
• Netted room
• Great for families with children, reunions, and yard camping
• Extreme affordability

Cons

• Too large for traditional camping
• Not great for inclement weather

What Shoppers Should Know

This is a large tent with a big floor plan, which makes it excellent for your backyard or a campsite with a large clearing. A netted “porch” area will keep out bugs and offer a place to stargaze as you fall asleep, too. 

Labeled as a 10-person tent, it’ll comfortably sleep between 5 and 7, which means it can be an awesome hangout for children or a small family during reunions, family get-togethers, or just as a standing yard feature during summer vacation when friends and family want to crash for the night and there aren’t enough beds in the house.

One of the few complaints people have about this tent is its rainproofness, but again, real roughing it in the wilderness isn’t the point here; it’s about having an extra spot to sleep on already nice days, and getting that extra spot at an ultra-low price.

What if this tent isn’t your style? Are you completely out of luck? Not really. If you’re looking for something small to carry you through a dry weekend, this $25 tent for two could be the ticket. Meanwhile, the more waterproof Coleman 4-Person Sundome is still selling at Memorial Day pricing, and I could see a couple of them gracing either your backyard or even a camping lot. 

There’s a lot of versatility in the tent deals out there right now, so don’t fret if this one didn’t end up being perfect for your crew.

What Shoppers Are Saying

One shopper said, “The extra screened-in porch was perfect. My 3 kids loved it! Perfect for our family!”

Also, if you’re worried about installing a big tent like this, don’t. One shopper reported on the setup experience. “It was easy to install. I was able to do this by myself at dusk. I am not an experienced camper.”

The Ozark Trail 10-Person Dome Tent is just $133 right now.
