Ozark Trail Tent

I can't say for sure, since I have no personal experience with that particular one. What would your use be? for car camping in good weather, I'm sure it would be fine. If its the sort of thing you will be setting up yourself, at night, in the rain, I'd look somewhere else. I honestly can't imagine that there can be much tent there for only a bill.
 
It will get the job done for some leisurely camping but don't expect it to hold up over lots of wear and tear over the years. They work for family getaways. Before I knew much or cared about having a nice tent a buddy and I spent a week in a large Ozark Trail tent in Oklahoma. It survived a terrible night with tornado sirens going off, and the tent was basically flat at one point with both of us just holding the roof up with our hands. We had a tarp thrown over the tarp as well, in addition to some water proofing spray on the lower portions. We woke up dry.
 
Ozark Trail is walmart's own brand, built as cheaply as possible. I'd put the quality of their tents on par with the quality of Ozark Trail knives.
 
I have a similar Ozark Trail tent, but not that exact one. Its fine for leisurely family outings with the car, or for the kids in the back yard. I wouldn't use it for much more though. Its waterproof enough for light rain or heavy dew, but anymore will leave you wet. Packed up its very heavy and set up is cumbersome. It has held up for a couple years with no rips tears or other failures though.
 
I have that one, or had it. The problem with that tent is that it doesn't repel water that well and expect to wet. It will hold up to a drizzle but if it starts coming down hard it will leak.
