Design and build

Built for Big Group Weekends

Poly taffeta with taped seams sheds rain, while the mesh roof and 13 windows keep air moving. Color-coded poles and a wheeled carry bag help you handle a 60.2 lb tent measuring 23 by 24.5 feet.

What a Bigger Tent Does for Your Trip

Floor Space the Whole Group Can Use

With 279 sq ft, six queen air beds fit across the floor with gear still parked at the sides. You reach the door at night without stepping over anyone sleeping in the walkway.

Sleeping Rooms That Give Real Privacy

Five rooms with their own zippered doors let couples and kids keep their own schedules. A late arrival or an early riser does not climb over a tentmate to reach the exit.

Airflow That Keeps Nights Comfortable

Thirteen windows, a mesh roof and the attached screen room keep air moving through the tent on warm nights. The screen room also gives you a bug-free spot for morning coffee.

Weather Handling You Can Count On

Poly taffeta with taped seams shrugs off rain that shows up mid-trip. Pitch it taut with solid stakes and the storm passes without soaking sleeping bags, clothes or your gear pile.

Color-Coded Poles Speed Up Setup

Color-coded poles tell you which section belongs where, so the frame comes together on the first try. One practice run at home turns camp-day setup into a quick, predictable job.

Packing Out Without the Heavy Lift

At 60.2 lb the tent rides in a wheeled carry bag, which matters when your site sits far from the parking area. Two people share the load and the wheels handle the rest of it.

Who it suits

Where This Tent Earns Its Space

This tent suits gatherings that would usually split into several shelters: reunions, group trips, friend weekends and multi-family campouts. It works best at organized drive-in campsites with room to spread out.

Reunions and Multi-Family Weekends

Six queen air beds fit across 279 sq ft, and five private rooms let households sleep on their own schedules. One shelter replaces a ring of separate tents at the campsite.

Group Trips With Separate Sleeping Space

Scout troops, club outings and friend groups get privacy without a tent village. The attached screen room becomes a shared spot for meals and games once the evening cools down.

A First Basecamp for Newer Campers

Campers moving up from a small tent get standing room and an organized floor plan. You get scale at a budget price, with extra weight and a longer setup as the honest trade-off.

Setup and care

Set It Up Right Before You Camp

A little preparation keeps a 60.2 lb tent from becoming camp-day frustration. Sort the parts, pick firm ground, stake with tension first and bring a partner for the raise. One practice run at home saves time later.

Sort the poles first

Match the color-coded poles before you unfold the tent, so frame assembly keeps moving without pauses.

Pick level ground

Lay the tent on ground free of rocks and sticks, then square the footprint before staking any single corner.

Stake every corner

Drive stakes at an angle into firm soil at each corner. Early tension prevents sagging once wind picks up.

Add a second person

The tent weighs 60.2 lb, so a helper makes lifting the center pole and raising the roof far easier.

Vent before sleeping

Crack a few windows and keep the mesh roof clear. Steady airflow cuts condensation and keeps the inside fresh.

Practice a full setup

Run one setup and pack-down at home. You will learn how the bag folds and avoid a fiddly repack later.

From the campsite

What Campers Say After the Trip

Owners keep repeating the same themes: the floor plan swallows air mattresses and gear, the color-coded poles keep a big tent manageable, and the weight is real. Several also stress solid staking and one practice setup first.
We brought fifteen people out for a family weekend and everyone fit comfortably. Three air mattresses went down with gear still stowed away from the walkway. The color-coded poles kept setup manageable, though I would bring a friend to help raise it.

Fifteen campers fit with gear room to spare
I have camped in plenty of tents, but this one felt closer to a cabin. The separate rooms gave us privacy I did not expect, and the screen room let us sit out in the evening without insects. Stakes matter most once the wind picks up.

Private rooms plus a bug-free screen room
Our family walks around inside without ducking, which makes changing clothes and sorting gear much easier. The mesh roof was a hit for stargazing at night, and the windows shut quickly when weather shifted. Just know the tent is heavy, so moving it takes two people.

Bright, airy and easy to walk around inside
We took it out for a week-long trip and it held up well. Setup took about thirty minutes with two people, and after hours of steady rain we stayed completely dry inside. Repacking into the bag took some fiddling, but we managed. I would take it again.

Before you decide

Practical Answers Before You Pitch In

It measures 23 by 24.5 feet with an 84-inch center height, giving 279 sq ft of floor space. Ozark Trail lists capacity at 20 people, and the layout takes up to 6 queen air beds, so plan your bed space before picking a site.
Poly taffeta with taped seams helps water stay out. No tent stays waterproof forever, so pitch it taut, stake every corner and re-seal the seams if wear appears after a season of heavy rain. A footprint adds floor protection.
Color-coded poles speed up assembly, and one owner reported roughly 30 minutes with two people. At 60.2 lb a helper makes raising the roof far easier, so lay the parts out first and do a practice setup at home.
A wheeled carry bag ships with the tent, which makes moving 60.2 lb across a campground much easier. Stakes are included, though experienced campers suggest sturdier ones for windy sites. Check the packing list before you leave home.
The supplied product information does not list warranty terms, so confirm coverage with the seller before buying. For care, dry the tent fully before storage, wipe away dirt, keep seams and zippers clean, and never pack it away damp.
Ozark Trail rates it for 20 people, though that assumes tight shoulder-to-shoulder sleeping. Families report fitting three air mattresses with gear space left over, and the floor holds up to six queen air beds when you want more room.
