Comfort and Space

This cabin tent is perfect for larger groups who want to camp in style. It has a comfortable layout, spacious accommodations, and plenty of storage places, making it an excellent option when you are looking at pitching your canvas abode. The tent can sleep up to 6 people, making it great for a family or group of friends.

Floor Space

The interior dimensions of this 6-person tent are 10′ (3.05 m) by 9′ (2.74 m). This works out to 90 square feet (27.43 m) of floor space.

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Cabin Tent offers enough space for all 6 people if they are on sleeping mats. However, you might feel cramped if you try to store your gear inside.

Therefore, this tent is best used with a maximum of 4 adults or 2 adults and up to 3 children. This will ensure that everyone has a comfortable place to sleep and that your gear will be well protected from the elements.

Head/Shoulder Room

When choosing a tent, it is best to pick a space where everyone is comfortable while sitting or standing.

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent has a center height of 66 inches (167.64 cm), making it great for the average-sized adult who wants to sit up at night comfortably.

Keep in mind that this tent is rectangular and has sloping edges. This means that the edges will be shorter than the middle, making it harder for the average adult to stand up and walk around comfortably at night.

Rooms/Vestibules

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent is a single-room tent, so make sure everyone in your group is comfortable sharing the same space. The tent does not have a vestibule, so there is no extra room for gear or supplies.

This tent has a hanging mesh pocket divided into 6 sections on the side of the tent. The pockets are a great place to store your gloves, hats, and other small items you want to keep handy. The tent has a gear loft and gear organizer. This is a great place to store your flashlight, headlamp, and other small items you want to keep off the floor.

The floor vent is an excellent feature of the tent. This allows you to keep the tent’s interior cool and comfortable, even on hot summer days. By opening the floor of the vent, you create a flow of air that helps circulate the cooler air from outside the tent.

Weather Resistance

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent is an excellent choice for summer camping trips. It is made with waterproof and water repellent fabric that helps keep the inside of the tent dry. The seams are factory sealed to help prevent water from entering the tent. There is also a rainfly that can be used in light wind or rain.

Durability

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent is made from high-quality steel and can withstand some heavy use. The material also has corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for tent poles. The poles are lightweight and easy to set up.

The Dark Rest tent is made from durable polyester. When it comes to tents, polyester is one of the most popular materials on the market. That is because polyester is strong and durable, yet lightweight and easy to transport. In addition, polyester is also water-resistant, which helps keep you dry and comfortable in damp or rainy conditions.

Ease of Use

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent is a one-person setup that takes less than 3 minutes. If you have the help, you can set up the tent in about one minute. This setup is quick and easy due to the external frames’ pre-attached poles.

Packed Size and Weight

The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent is easy to carry and set up on car and family camping trips. The tent packs to a size of 25x8x8 inches (63.5x20x20 cm) and weighs 17 lbs (7.7 kg), making it easy to transport and store.

A comparable model to the Ozark Trail 6-Person Tent is the 6-Person Dark Room Skydome Camping Tent. Both of these tents are very similar in size. However, the Skydome is 6 feet in the center, so it is taller than the Dark Rest tent. The Skydome takes about five minutes to set up, whereas the Dark Rest tent can be set up in less than 3 minutes.

The Skydome and Dark Rest tents have darkroom technology, which helps a camper sleep longer in the mornings. The Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent and the 6-Person Dark Room™ Skydome™ Camping Tent are excellent choices for a smaller family or group of friends. They each also have their pros and cons. Therefore, the option is ultimately yours to decide which will suit your needs better.
