Ozark Trail 8 Person Yurt Tent

This roomy yurt-style tent sleeps up to eight and comes with a rain-fly, a removable table and screened window walls. It fits family weekends and first setups where space matters more than premium brand names.
How It Is Built

Built for Space, Airflow and Storm Cover

Recycled polyester panels sit on FRP and steel poles under a rain-fly. Three screened window walls and roll-down panels trade airflow for privacy, and an E-port runs a cord inside without leaving an open gap.

What This Yurt Does for Your Trip

Room for Eight Without Cramping

Two queen air mattresses fit side by side with gear left over, so a family can sleep comfortably and still walk around. Campers report the extra headroom that a standard tent does not offer.

Screened window walls and roll-down panels open on the yurt tent for airflow
Airflow You Can Adjust All Week

Three screened window walls pull in a breeze on warm nights, and roll-down panels close over them when rain or bugs show up. You change the setup without hunting for extra parts.

Rain-Fly That Held Up in Storms

One camper describes four seasons of storms before the tent finally gave out, and another stayed dry through a storm at home. The rain-fly is the cover that earns that track record.

A Table at the Center of Camp

The removable table gives your group a spot for cards, meals or gear, and it lifts out when you want open floor space. Older campers in reviews call it a favorite detail.

Storage pockets and media sleeve holding phones and small gear inside the yurt tent
Pockets That Keep Small Gear Handy

Two extra four-section storage pockets plus a media sleeve keep phones, keys and flashlights off the floor. Less time rummaging around, more time at the campsite, even when the tent is full.

One Bag Carries the Whole Setup

Everything packs into the included carry bag, and the mud mat at the entry keeps dirt from spreading further inside. Loading out at the end of a long weekend stays manageable.

Best Suited To

Where This Tent Fits Your Plans

This yurt earns its keep in a few specific situations, and knowing which one matches yours makes the $145.00 easier to judge. It suits groups that want room to stand, plus homeowners who want a big shelter they can pitch in the yard.

Family Weekends at the Campground

Two queen air mattresses fit with gear still to spare, so parents and kids can share one shelter. The screened walls let you keep an eye on the site while the roll-down panels give everyone privacy at bedtime.

Backyard Camping and Sleepovers

Owners use it right in the yard, filling it with twin air mattresses and small kids' tents for a night that feels like a real trip. The removable table and mud mat keep snacks and dirt exactly where they belong.

A First Group Tent Setup

If this is your first group tent, the yurt shape gives you standing room and a clear floor plan to work with. At $145.00, learning the ropes costs far less than a premium cabin tent would.

Getting It Ready

Set It Up and Camp Comfortably

A little prep makes the difference between a calm first pitch and a tangled one. These steps follow how the yurt is actually built, from the base stakes out to the rain-fly, and they take about as long as a normal cabin tent.

Pick a Flat Campsite

Choose level ground with good drainage, then clear sticks and stones before you unroll the tent.

Lay Out and Stake First

Unroll the floor, square the corners, and stake the base so it stays put while you raise the poles.

Raise the Center Hub

Lift the center pole until the hub locks the roof, then clip the FRP and steel uprights to each wall.

Add the Rain-Fly

Drape the fly over the top and secure each guy line evenly, so water runs off instead of pooling.

Set Up the Table

Set the removable table at the center for meals and games, or stow it when you want open floor space.

Add Gear and E-Port

Run a cord through the E-port, hang your lights, and fill the storage pockets so the floor stays clear.

Camper Experiences

What Campers Say After Real Trips

These are accounts from people who actually camped in this yurt: how fast it went up, how much room it held, and how it handled real weather. The pattern across reviews is consistent, so you can weigh the space against the effort of a larger tent.
I loved how easily it went up, and the space and headroom were so much better than a regular tent. Our group was comfortable the whole trip, and there was enough floor left for all our gear without anyone feeling cramped or stacked against a wall.

Easy setup with standout space and headroom
I pitched it in the yard for a family night in and it was a blast. Setup and takedown were quick, the center table got used all evening, and we stayed completely dry when a storm rolled through overnight. Even at 71, my dad handled it fine.

Backyard glamping that survived a storm
This tent lasted four years with me before a storm took it out. It stayed waterproof through plenty of heavy weather, and I would buy the same one again without hesitating. For the price, that kind of service life is exactly what I was hoping for.

Four years of storms before it finally failed
We fit two twin air mattresses and three small kids' tents inside with space left to walk around. Setup was simple for our group, and having the table in the middle made meals and card games easy all weekend instead of eating on the ground.

Before You Order

Common Questions Before You Buy

It is rated for up to eight sleepers, and two queen air mattresses fit side by side with gear left over. Families typically find it comfortable for four to six with room to stand and move, which is the arrangement most reviewers describe.
Reviewers report staying dry through storms, and one camper used this tent for four years before a severe storm finally destroyed it. Treat the fly as reliable cover for typical rain, and stake every guy line fully when wind picks up.
Pitching it is a manageable two-person job, and reviewers describe it as easy to set up and take down, including a 71-year-old camper who handled it without trouble. The center pole and hub shape do most of the structural work for you.
The walls use recycled polyester supported by FRP and steel poles, so the frame stays light enough to move yet rigid enough to hold the tall yurt shape. Listed dimensions show N/A, so confirm your campsite footprint before you order.
Yes. Owners use it at home as much as at the campground, setting up twin air mattresses and small kids’ tents inside for a backyard night in. The removable table also turns the space into a play area, not just a place to sleep.
At $145.00, with 4.7 out of 5 stars from 25 ratings, it sits well below most cabin tents. Independent testers note budget tents can be less convenient to pitch and carry and may not last as many seasons, but they hold up well on short trips.
