Ozark Trail Hammock

Compare Ozark Trail hammocks for hanging between trees, lounging on a stand, or floating on the water. Each option below shows who it suits, how it sets up, and what trade-offs to expect before you spend.

Four hammocks to start comparing

Ozark Trail Portable Cotton Double Hammock with Carry Bag and Rope for Weekend Campsite Trips

This double cotton hammock hangs between two anchors and packs into its own bag with rope already included, so a campsite setup needs no extra purchases. The wider bed gives two people room to share, and the cotton feels softer than nylon for slow lounging after a hike.

Ozark Trail Double Two-Person Hammock for Tree, RV and Campsite Lounging in Comfort

A two-person hammock sized for sharing at a tree site or an RV campsite. The wide bed suits side-by-side lounging in the shade, and the unit arrives new in its box, which makes it a simple pick for buyers who want one straightforward extra seat at camp.

Ozark Trail Hammock Tent with Mosquito Net and Rain Fly for 1-2 Person Hiking and Camping Trips

Rated for one or two people up to about 440 pounds, this hammock adds a mosquito net and rain fly so you can sleep off the ground and stay covered. It suits hikers who would rather carry one combined shelter and suspension item than a separate tent.

Ozark Trail Jumbo Inflatable Water Hammock Raft, 94.5-Inch Diameter Float for Lake Days

An inflatable raft roughly 94.5 inches across and rated near 749 pounds, sized for adults who want room to stretch out on calm water. It inflates for a lake or slow river afternoon and packs away again when the float is over, making it a leisure pick rather than a trail item.

Ozark Trail Water Hammock Float for River and Lake Days When You Want to Rest on the Water

An inflatable water hammock built for relaxing on a calm river or lake, and noted as an overall pick for exactly that job. It gives you a place to lie back on the water rather than perch on a ring, and it suits leisure afternoons at the campground beach or a slow-moving river.
More options worth a look

Three more hammocks for specific jobs

Ozark Trail Lightweight Parachute Nylon Single Hammock for Solo Hikers and Weekend Campers

Parachute nylon makes this the pack-friendly choice: it dries quickly, stuffs down small enough for a daypack, and sets up between two trees with the included suspension lines. It favors portability over the plush feel of a heavier cotton hammock, which is the right trade for moving camp.

Ozark Trail Quilted Hammock with Folding Steel Stand for Camp and Backyard Lounging

Because the folding steel frame needs no trees, this works at a backyard, a sparse campground, or a site that restricts straps. The wide quilted bed and rolled pillow edge support one or two loungers, and the frame breaks down for a car, so it is built for driving in rather than carrying on.

Ozark Trail Kids' Hammock with Attached Bug Net for Young Campers at Park and Lake Outings

Sized shorter and hung lower for children, this model has a built-in bug net that keeps mosquitoes away during naps and downtime. Soft fabric and rounded edges suit smaller bodies, and the simple carry bag makes it easy to bring along to the park, the lake or a campground for a first hammock experience.
Who uses a hammock

Situations where a hammock earns its place

Hammocks cover a range of jobs, from a first low-cost setup for short trips to a backyard seat and a floating chair on the water. Match the job to the style, and check weight ratings and where you will hang it before deciding which result you are after.

First hammock setups and short trips

New campers get an affordable way to try hanging without premium gear. Look for a model that already includes ropes and a carry bag so the first outing needs no extra purchases before you leave the driveway.

Car campers and backyard downtime

When the car carries the load, a quilted hammock with a folding stand adds real lounging space at the site or at home. Setup takes minutes, and no trees are required to get a comfortable seat outdoors.

Lakeside and riverside relaxation

Water hammocks turn a calm lake or a slow river into a floating chair for the afternoon. Bring them for leisure time, stay within the rated capacity, and leave your trail gear safely back at camp.

Fabric, suspension, capacity and weight decide which hammock suits your trip. Cotton feels plush but carries more weight; nylon packs smaller and dries faster. Check whether you have trees, need a stand, and how much load you expect.

Match the Hammock to Where You'll Hang It

Three hammock styles side by side at a campsite: a nylon tree-hung hammock, a quilted hammock on a steel stand, and an inflatable water float.
Fabric: Cotton Comfort or Nylon Packability

Cotton and quilted fabrics feel softer and hold warmth better, but they weigh more and dry slowly. Parachute nylon stuffs down small and dries fast, which suits hikers counting every ounce in a pack.

Suspension: Trees, a Stand, or Both

Tree-friendly straps need two solid anchors at the right distance. A folding steel stand removes that search entirely, which suits campgrounds and backyards where trees are scarce or straps are restricted.

Capacity: Solo, Two-Person or Kids' Size

Rated capacity tells you how many people and how much gear a hammock will hold. A single fits one adult, a double shares space for two, and a lower kids' size keeps smaller bodies closer to the ground.

Add-Ons: Bug Nets, Rain Flies and Pillows

A bug net and rain fly turn simple fabric into overnight cover for one or two. Rolled pillow edges add lounging comfort, while the included bag and rope decide how much you pack besides the hammock itself.

Four ways to relax

Find the hammock style that fits your trip

This category splits into need-based directions rather than a single style. Ask what you will do with it: hang in the woods, relax where no trees grow, sleep off the ground, or float on the water. Each direction trades portability, comfort or coverage differently.
A plain nylon hammock hung between two trees with straps, empty and gently curved above the ground.

Classic tree-hung hammocks

The simplest type: fabric stretched between two anchors, with ropes or straps usually included. Best when you have trees nearby and want a light, packable item for a short trip or an afternoon in the yard.

A wide quilted padded hammock on a folding steel stand on a backyard lawn, unoccupied.

Quilted hammocks with stands

Padded beds on a folding steel frame, so no trees are needed at all. Built for car camping, campsite lounging and backyard use, with the comfort of a wide quilted surface instead of a thin sheet.

A hammock shelter with an attached mosquito net and taut rain fly strung between trees at a wooded campsite.

Hammock tents with bug net

Hanging hammocks that add a mosquito net and a rain fly for one or two people. A middle ground when you want to sleep above the ground but stay covered through the night.

An inflatable round water hammock float drifting on calm lake water beside a wooden dock.

Water hammocks and floats

Inflatable rafts made for lake and river days, sized from a standard float to a jumbo version. They are for floating and resting on the water, not for trail use or overnight shelter.

What shoppers report

Honest notes from hammock owners

Shoppers in this category tend to report the same pattern: quick setup at a campsite or yard, a comfortable first hour of lounging, and a clear sense of what the gear will and will not do over a season. These notes reflect that experience.
I wanted something I could throw in the car without thinking about it. Setup at the campsite took a couple of minutes once I found two good trees, and everyone took turns lying in it after the hike. It is not luxury gear, but for the price I felt completely fine about it.

Packed small for a family car camping weekend
We brought it to the lake and used it as a float on calm water. Getting on and off took a bit of practice, but once settled it was genuinely relaxing. I checked the weight rating before letting two kids climb on, which I would recommend to anyone doing the same.

Used it on a lake afternoon and it held up well
I mostly use it at home in the evenings and it has held up through a few months of sun and rain. It is heavier than I expected, so I would not carry it far on foot, but that trade-off makes sense for the comfort you get when you finally sit down.

Great for a backyard, not something I would backpack with
This was my first hammock and I was nervous about whether it would feel stable. After one weekend I stopped worrying. It sways more than a chair, sure, but lying off the ground with a breeze through the site was the best part of the trip, and I have used it every outing since.

Questions before you hang

Answers on setup, durability and trip length

Nylon packs smaller and dries faster, so it suits hikers and anyone short on pack space. Cotton and quilted styles feel plusher and work well for car camping or the yard, but they weigh more and take longer to dry after rain.
Most hanging styles need two sturdy anchors a short distance apart. If your campsite or yard lacks suitable trees, a folding steel stand gives you a place to relax without the tree search, at the cost of extra weight to carry.
Two-person models are built for shared lounging, and hanging styles are rated up to about 440 pounds including gear. Sharing works, but both people sit closer to the edges, so solo sleepers often find a double roomier than expected.
A hammock with a bug net and rain fly shelters one or two people for a night and keeps pests off, but it offers less cover from cold and wind than a tent. Independent reviews suggest this kind of budget gear earns its keep on short trips rather than long seasons.
Water hammocks are inflatable rafts built for relaxing on the water, with jumbo versions near 94.5 inches across and rated around 749 pounds. Stay inside the weight limit, keep to calm water, and treat them as leisure floats rather than safety gear.
A shorter, lower-hanging kids’ model with a built-in bug net keeps smaller bodies comfortable and easy to reach, which most caregivers appreciate. It packs into a carry bag for park and lake trips and works as a gentle first hammock for young campers.
