I really love this tent. I enjoy how dark it is in the morning after a long night of drinking and shenanigans by the fire. It is also sizeable tent I can easily put up even on solo trips.
@dirtymisfit5852 we love how easy these are to setup no more color matching pools trying to assemble a tent puzzle lol. Please let us know What you think about the tent after you get it setup also thanks for commenting it really helps us.
thanks for commenting it really helps us here on the channel. Hopefully the video answered all of your questions and please let us know what you think about the dark rest after you have chance to take it out for yourself. As always we are here for you if you have any questions.
I know this is an older video but a tip I also use the ozark trail instant tents the key to easy rain fly installation is to put it on before you extend the vertical legs to their final position much easier especially when you set it up solo like I do
thanks for sharing this tent with us. My family and I are going camping for the 1st time mid October. We're all excited to go. But as a newbie didn't know which tent to get for a weekend. This one seems to fit the bill as it's spacious. we're a family of 5. Loved your review and appreciate your sharing this.
Absolutely also the other thing you will love is how easy it is to set up and we really enjoy that dark bedroom allowing us to get just a little more rest while camping
It's good just make sure your keeping up on seam sealing and waterproofing we used our tent twice with about 3 yrs apart and ofc it rained the first night we set it up after it sitting in storage and we got completely rained out our fault but at the same time the seam tape was flaking off so just keep an eye on it
Hi! @ParkHopTillWeDrop, could you clarify, when you zip the ceiling flaps up for total darkness, is the mesh then completely sealed off? I'm wondering how suitable this tent would be for cooler weather, so as to not let cold air in.
It's not completely sealed but close should be fine for weather in the low 30s but it never gets that cold here in florida so it's not something we have tested
I have this tent in the 10 person and 6 person. I go salmon fishing in the fall in Michigan. I just put a large tarp over the top and use a buddy heater. Stays nice and toasty. The small tent I don't put a tarp. Just the heater.
Yes we use this tent a few times per year and we have used the ac in it. This is the tent we are talking about when we say use a tarp over top to keep the air in as this tent has a mesh roof you can also use towels over the mess using the rain fly to hold them on this works to keep the air from escaping as well
@@ParkHopTillWeDrop is it such an issue it needs to be addressed or it’s just added comfort? I live in south tx so cooling my tent is the number one priority. Thanks for such a quick response as well
@marksain32 so I would definitely put something on the vented to to help like I said towel are quick and easy and work well or some cheap visquen will work fine even trash bags can be used it's just to close the top off a little better.
U can add a AC unit (tape then cutt ) it's a great tent went threw acuple hurricanes have to tie it level with the guidelines .....u need light bulbs 😂 cause the loghys that come with it dont light up that good but its a great tent
Typically we pitch under a tree or some shade but no tent is cool in direct sun not even our poly cotton tent mansion. We camp in the summer every year in temps nearing 100 degrees
Yeah it can definitely be done I just size it that way because we bring way to much stuff lol but we use our tent mansion more than this one now it's got probably to much room as the 12 man Ozark will fit inside if it
Yes we a/c this tent when we take it out we normally but a tarp on top of it then put the rain fly over that to keep the air from going out the top mesh roof that has always worked well for us. Big thing with tent ac is try to seal the tent best you can and be in a shady place if possible helps the ac work much better
ua-cam.com/video/kQmAnw-J6o8/v-deo.htmlsi=e4Y70QT-m6huqBc7 this should help normally we are at sites with power making having ac much easier but it can be done with a small generator as well
@@ParkHopTillWeDrop I wish they made the 4-person one in dark rest. I might have to settle for the 6-person but I'm afraid it will be to big and heavy for my car camping needs
We haven't done it yet as it's the only one in America and not necessarily a practical purchase for some in the states we kinda put it on the back burner it's a 3000 dollar tent not to many people looking for the here
Your saying to much mesh for a winter tent? It doesn't get too cold Here in Florida so not normally an issue but with the rain fly on it does seal the tent pretty well but this would not be a great cold climate tent. Also thanks for commenting
I really love this tent. I enjoy how dark it is in the morning after a long night of drinking and shenanigans by the fire. It is also sizeable tent I can easily put up even on solo trips.
I got this for $79 in the recent Walmart sale a month ago, waiting for me to enjoy it this may end. Great video thanks.
79 bucks is an insane deal for this tent please let us know what your thoughts are on the tent we always like hearing what others have to say.
same here, taking it out next weekend, cant wait. That deal was stupid good.

Thanks for an updated video review on this product... purchased it off Ozarks web page right after watching this

@@terrel8125 I could definitely see that being an issue yearly inspection or reseal is definitely recommended.
I have a 6 man one & yes its worth it!
You think the 6 man has plenty of room? How many people do you think would be comfortable in a 6 man?
@ParkHopTillWeDrop I always divide by 2 what the manufacturer says. That being said, three with gear.
Real good review ❤ thanks for doing it !
Thanks for commenting we really appreciate it. You can't imagine how much it helps out channel
Can you make a video on how to to use the AC for this tent? What is your set up and how to trap the air in.
Yes, this please.
I got one and it's the best!

Does it come with room dividers? If so, how many?
Have you put a portable ac in one? Fixing to find out myself next week. 😂
Yes we use this tent a few times per year and we have used the ac in it. This is the tent we are talking about when we say use a tarp over top to keep the air in as this tent has a mesh roof you can also use towels over the mess using the rain fly to hold them on this works to keep the air from escaping as well

@marksain32 so I would definitely put something on the vented to to help like I said towel are quick and easy and work well or some cheap visquen will work fine even trash bags can be used it's just to close the top off a little better.
I wonder how a portable ac unit would do with this tent?
U can add a AC unit (tape then cutt ) it's a great tent went threw acuple hurricanes have to tie it level with the guidelines .....u need light bulbs 😂 cause the loghys that come with it dont light up that good but its a great tent
We agree 100 percent
I Wish it was still available to purchase.
Soooo…did your other 12 person tent break? Curious why you needed another one.
Hi. Did you use it under the Rain? Im sorry for my english, y speak spanish.
No problem yes we did use it in a rainstorm we had no issues with it at all as far as leaking goes.
Thank you very much for your answer. Excellent review.
What was the tunnel tent that you quickly showed? I'm looking for something like that for a while now.
Can you please tell me is this model keeps cool with portable ac unit??
Yes please
ON A HOT SUNNY DAY IT WILL BE AN OVEN , IN THAT DARK COLOR.
Typically we pitch under a tree or some shade but no tent is cool in direct sun not even our poly cotton tent mansion. We camp in the summer every year in temps nearing 100 degrees
Id fit 12 in there no bother. I have 7 kids 2 adults and we usually go in a 6 person tent. We just use 4 double mattresses all together on the floor.
Yeah it can definitely be done I just size it that way because we bring way to much stuff lol but we use our tent mansion more than this one now it's got probably to much room as the 12 man Ozark will fit inside if it
@ParkHopTillWeDrop we bring two cars and i tend to keep all that I can in one car just to stop the tent getting messy
Can it be kept cool with the AC like the inflatable?
Yes we a/c this tent when we take it out we normally but a tarp on top of it then put the rain fly over that to keep the air from going out the top mesh roof that has always worked well for us. Big thing with tent ac is try to seal the tent best you can and be in a shady place if possible helps the ac work much better
What's the name of your mansion tent??
@@Clean_King vango anantara
Write sleep past 630. That's what I was thinking to 😂
Someone send me a link to the best price place. Also would walmart have this on the self? Thxs
Is there room dividers
Yes we just never use the divider
How do you use a portable AC in the tent ?
ua-cam.com/video/kQmAnw-J6o8/v-deo.htmlsi=e4Y70QT-m6huqBc7 this should help normally we are at sites with power making having ac much easier but it can be done with a small generator as well
@@ParkHopTillWeDrop does this tent do well with portable ac? What size?
does it leak at all in the rain?
Not any of the times we have had it out the material is thicker than the non dark rest tent
@@ParkHopTillWeDrop I wish they made the 4-person one in dark rest. I might have to settle for the 6-person but I'm afraid it will be to big and heavy for my car camping needs
What is the name of your other tent? You called it the tent mansion.
Vango anatara 650xl tc
Do you have a review of your other large tent that you featured with the portable AC? I’d like to see that.
We haven't done it yet as it's the only one in America and not necessarily a practical purchase for some in the states we kinda put it on the back burner it's a 3000 dollar tent not to many people looking for the here
@@ParkHopTillWeDrop
I’d love to see it if you guys get an opportunity next time you use it.
@@sportil84 definitely
What kind of ac do you use?
So the ac unit we use is discontinued but a 12k btu front vented ac unit will work great many brands make these we found ours used on market place
Whats your 6person tent thats 3x the size???
Anantara 650xl iii tc 2021 model
is it available in Canada? i cant find it anywhere near me
Walmart.com normally has it sometimes I can also find it on Amazon
Walmart has it online
Walmart has it online
Can you do a review on the tent mansion?
Absolutely we are working on that now
@Park Hop Till We Drop perfect! You all have been helpful in my tent discovery. What is the actual name of the Tent Mansion?
@@Jhen3346 vango anantara 650xl tc
Make sure you're under the tree. Because the dark will attract the sun.
That thing is probably hot as heck during the day because of the color of it...
Not if it's a black out kind of tent, at least according to veterans
If it's warm enough to need an ac, I would just make one, granted it requires 4 empty bottles, a styrofoam cooler, ice bag, and a battery fan
It was 103 degrees a few days when we camped in key west in July feels like temp and this made it bare able. Plus lots of water activities
Looks great for spring and fall but still to much mesh.
Your saying to much mesh for a winter tent? It doesn't get too cold Here in Florida so not normally an issue but with the rain fly on it does seal the tent pretty well but this would not be a great cold climate tent. Also thanks for commenting
@@ParkHopTillWeDrop Yeah, here in Texas I have to throw a tarp over my Ozark to heat it up or ac it. Wishing we could import more EU styles.
@blakesicking2308 you can import them that's what we did clearly but it's very pricey unfortunately.
I paid mine on tiktok for $76
How ?
Just paid $25 for mine
Dang where that's a great price
Whereeeee
80 inches = 6ft, 8ins tall.......not 6ft6ins and/or 6.5ft !! I'm 6ft5ins. tall, so inches count !!!!
