Use it for a portable toilet, or shower, or even as a private changing room. Such tents give full privacy which is always welcome when you’re with a large group. Read our article on, The Best Shower Tents, to give you an idea of how handy these utility tents.

Fly Cover

One of many outstanding features of the Ozark Trail tent is that you can use it with or without the fly cover. If you’re in a hot, dry clime you may not need a waterproof fly over. With a partly meshed roof and roller blinds on the meshed windows, you’ll get lots of air circulation.

If the rain and wind arrive, you can put the fly cover over quickly and easily, using guy ropes. The taped seams will ensure you stay extra dry inside the tent. Air continues to circulate as there is still plenty of open space between the top of the tent and the fly cover. That means no collection of moisture that often leads to dampness.

Ventilation

It’s the good ventilation that makes the Ozark Trail family tent ideal for large parties. The net meshing roof, two D-zippered doors, and two zippered windows with meshing and blinds, all create ample ventilation. While everyone’s snoring through the night, condensation is kept to a minimum.

Another great feature is the mesh screen porch. This serves to protect one of the doorways from flying debris, such as leaves and sand, from getting inside the tent. It also helps to prevent flying insects from entering the inside.

Floor

With an inbuilt bucket groundsheet, it helps to keep that creepy crawlies outside where they belong. This also stops any drafts or damp from entering the tent.
