Thanks so much for the review! Planning a trip to Morganton Point next month and your walkthrough of the sites will definitely come in handy! Thanks again and happy camping!!!!
I'm so glad you found this helpful! Enjoy your trip!
Can u please share link to your collapsible ottoman?
@@sonyamaxwell9825 . Sure! Here you go. a.co/d/6H6xhTu
I stayed here in the early 90's and the remnants of a hurricane moved over N GA that night and we awoke next to a class 5 whitewater river.
Oh wow! I bet that was a sight to see!
Love this! But, where's the pool? LOL I totally agree different strokes for different folks. I think a projector TV would be easier though. But if you're in a campground I assume the toilet is for night time only?? Also I didn't see a way to wash dishes. How does your son sleep on that couch?
I would like to get a projector soon, that'd be nice! And yes, we mostly used the toilet for late night bathroom needs. For that trip we chose to just use paper plates, but we do have a large tub we can use for dish washing when needed, it has two sides, just like a double sink. And that Intex couch folds out to a queen size bed, and both kids were able to sleep on either side once folded out.
Great set up!
Thank you!!
I wonder how much exhaust gets into the tent if you run the car engine
Even though it's very well vented, especially with the rainfly off, I wouldn't run the engine, just to play it safe.
This is the only trpe of tent i do not own. Just purchased an SUV so im looking around for an SUV tent. I have connect yents, black out tents hiking and kayaking tents,intant, canvis, truck, blow up etc.. All from 1 to 10 person sleeping. So yes I'm an avid tent camper and 80% of the time it is solo. Happy camping Mary 😊 Oh yeah. I have a bath n shower tent. 😊
You sound like me! 😁 I have several tents to fit various occasions. So far I appreciate the SUV tent because I can close the tailgate before I fall asleep, and that makes me feel much more secure.
Happy camping. 😊
Thank you! And you as well!!😊
Very nice campground
It really is! Lots of nice sites by the water, one of my favorites in Georgia!
Many thanks for the video. Very helpful!
Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Download your set up and breakdown from RUclips before you go and that may help you
Thanks for the tip!
No airway windows might have moisture problems
Good point, I hope not. I do wish it had some windows.
heavy duty magnets
Great tip, thank you!
You should watch other videos on setting that thing up.
Did that, didn't see what I needed, and nothing like getting hands on and figuring things out. I'm a few trips in now with my own SUV, and all is well.
Loved your set up. Why is there no mirror in the bathroom? Also maybe a mosquito netting above the bed so it looks cozier??
There's a mirror, I show it at 9:44 . A mosquito net is a great idea! I would just need to figure out where to hang it from.
Thanks you ♨️
You're so very welcome, hopefully it was helpful in some way.
You explained and demonstrated very well. Thanks
Thank you! I'm glad it was useful to you!

Hi there fellow camper! Email me, I'd love to share some more information with you! outdoormaryusa@gmail.com
Who did you get your tent from?
Ozark Trail is a brand that is owned by Walmart. You can get this online or some stores would have it
I bought it from Walmart.com in May 2023, it was supposed to be back in stock by now, but so far it's not. I fear it may be discontinued.
I had thought about this but with no insulation so any heater or AC would have to work over time
Yes, you are right about that. I just bought the cheapest Walmart AC I could find. Also, the fact that it's only used for the occasional vacation, rather than daily, should help it to last for a while despite the fact that it gets worked pretty hard during these trips. I'm definitely glad we had it, it was so much more comfortable.
Get some big hand clamps from dollar tree and hook rain fly to poles in front and then walk around pulling rainfly on.
Now this is a good idea! Thank you!
Do not close the trunk door when you’re attaching the tent. Once you close it, after setting it up and the automatic door have a sensors because of the tent fabric.
Thank you!
Hum.....I do not think that little pad lock is going to keep anyone out. Sadly it will keep you in if someone cuts their way in and now you are trapped. Get rid of it.
I'll consider it, thanks for the feedback.
At this point just get a camper ! 😂
@@Pozoe12 , I have a camper at this point, at that time I didn’t want one. I still alternate between tent, RV, and car camping. I do whatever pleases me at the time, and depending on which national park I’m visiting, and how long I plan to stay.
That is a pretty nice-looking setup. When I can't find instructions, I turn to RUclips with the product name. Never fails!👍👍👍
Yes, good ol RUclips University.😁
Thanks for the video. Although this tent is cheaper, I prefer the Napier SUV tent, which has windows/ 2 openings and is a better, stronger quality.
Absolutely! I have my heart set on a Napier too! It cost more, but I definitely think it'll be worth it based on what I've seen. Hopefully next camping season.
I’m sorry but I agree with most comments this isn’t camping nah it’s more like living inside a tent outside haha 🤣 if your going to need all that inside a tent then don’t go camping stay home or hahah in your case your backyard wow back in the days camping was actual camping
@@user-mo4qs3vs8c , you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I respect that. But no, I wasn’t going to just stay home. The entire goal of this is to not stay home! The whole point of this was to facilitate being able to visit Zion National Park, while still feeling as comfortable as WE wanted to be. Remember, everyone has to do whatever is comfortable for them. Different strokes for different folks. My family and I had wanted to go to Zion for awhile, but I could not reasonably spend upwards of 349$ per night for lodging. We used to spend thousands of dollars per week staying in expensive AirBNB for vacation, but we are not in a position to do that anymore, but we still want to enjoy vacations, and this tent made it affordable & financially responsible for us to do so, as the campground was only 30$ per night. The objective isn’t to camp, the objective is to vacation in an affordable yet comfortable way to our standards.
Mary, Susie, here apologize for the late early morning texts; may I not be disturbing your sleep🤦🌌🇺🇸USA Would like to know, is This at Hunters Lake in Spring Hill, Florida?

Thaank you Great work; Is this tent RAINPROOF? SUSIE in Fla. Aug.31,Sat.1:50 a.m.
In theory it should be rain proof to a degree.😁 It seems like the seams are sealed well, but I haven't experienced rain yet.
@@outdoormary Please do accept my apology for the late evening text, read ur response. Ty So very much. I'll need to look into this further although thank you for the info.

@@joshmcown6840 . Thank you! I used to have a Quest. I loved that van! I hope it works well for you!
That is nice, the instructions are sewed into the bag
@@Bigcat624 , it’s definitely nice for the price. I’ll look for the instructions again, but the only thing I saw printed on the inside of the bag were various warnings about the tent, maybe I overlooked it though.
@@outdoormary wow I saw another couple and the instructions was sewn in on the inside of the bag. which makes sense so that you don’t lose them, but if yours is not there, then that really sucks. because what if you are newbie and don’t know how to put it gather where you are experienced and knew what you were doing.
Wish you had put a link for it.
@@deborahbrebner1237 , I take time out of my busy life to make these videos to try and help fellow campers, I don’t get paid for it, and I don’t do this professionally, so if I forget something, just kindly ask, and I will help any way I can. Here’s the link, and I will put it in the description as well. www.walmart.com/ip/3918322845
Some tents have instructions printed on the storage bag. I'm surprised this one didn't
@@ejcastro9518 , me too. The rest of my tents have instructions printed in the bag. It was very easy to figure out what went where though.
Hi Mary! Thank you for making this video. I have an SUV that I want to car camp in but want to find a good SUV tent so I can have more room and be able to stand and change my clothes in. I would also need one that I, only 5’ tall, can set up by myself. I’ll probably bring a step stool or ladder to help get the rain guard up.
@@gracielei76 . I’m glad you found it useful, it’s definitely spacious, and the price can’t be beat!
You don't have it set up correctly. The tent needs to be further up on the vehicle. The trunk is supposed to be all the way open. You should be able to step out of your vehicle into the tent. I love mine
Agreed!! It's definitely not on properly.
Agreed, I said so myself in the video a couple of times, and that I would better be able to adjust it once I’m out of that rental car and back into my own SUV which has a roof rack . But these are my initial thoughts.
I bought my tent about five years ago. It was only $80 then. Mine had the instructions on the inside. I’m surprised yours doesn’t that’s too bad. The only thing I don’t like about this tent is that there’s really only one opening and that’s in the front. It should have Windows as well. Although I really like mine, I’m looking for something that has more options for windows and ventilation.
@@BadlukBikerChick , that’s a very good point! I didn’t even consider that, aside from the entrance, there’s no windows. I saw a Napier tent with more of what I was looking for, but they want over 400$ new, I’m hoping I can find a used one for way less.
That night seen is beautiful, thank you for sharing
@@shemaanderson , thank you! I’m glad you liked the video!
Where do the kids sleep?
@@Sdnil80 , on the intex couch which folds out into a queen bed.
You got it for a fantastic price. Great job putting it up by yourself 🎉 The electric or dictates where I face my tent. What state is this in? I love the scenery. Happy camping 😊
@@blaqfish thank you! This was Cloudland Canyon State Park in North Georgia.
I saw a video of a guy with no roof rails create tie down capabilities by running a tie down strap across the top of the car and fastened the ends together inside near the ceiling. The doors shut fine. Then you can fasten bungies to it that are clipped to the tent loops. Bungies and magnets can do the rest. The wheels are a good place to hook on to. That method works for adding a tarp for a awning. If things don’t seem to reach you can add cord through the tent loops and all the way to another safe place to hook on the car. When you look under your car you’ll see there are many places to hook a bungie to.
@@hunagirl6 , thank you so much for the great feedback! It’s definitely appreciated!
Magnets?
@@susanmorgan647 , this one didn’t have any magnets. I have a much smaller tailgate type tent that does have magnets , and it does seem to help keep the tunnel attached to the car, so I might try to add some magnets to this tent.
Once rolled into window there is a button and loop to hold the zipped down window . I have this tent. You can also use a power pack for the lights. You have button loops for the doors also
@@celestenewsome1653 , thank you for the feedback! How has it faired for you in the rain and wind? I used to avoid instant tents because I’ve heard that slight winds can make them collapse. I haven’t experienced windy conditions yet.
We were in the worst environment for any tent, a couple of weeks ago. I lost my 11 person Ozark and replaced it with this one. It’s not the tent, it’s how we reacted to the next storm. I will forever be prepared to drop the tent legs in place and cover with another tarp and stakes. We basically dropped the legs and folded the second tarp like a taco and staked it down. A little water inside and nothing lost or damaged.
@@outdoormary I don’t trust it in winds over 15-20mph. But I will keep you posted
It's huge!!!!
@@annragsdale8847 , absolutely, one of the biggest SUV tents I’ve seen, especially for under 200$.
🙏😊💬Sure hope Walmart here in Spring Hill has them Like yours (A Van Tent add.) Ty GREAT VIDEO... Susie in Florida 2024 Aug.31,Sat.2:02a.m.
@@joshmcown6840 , if not you should be able to order online.
Think it would have worked out better if the lift gait was open before you anchored it. That's a real good sized tent! I'd be in the same situation as you as I'd be camping alone with no help to put it up. A plus is none of the other car tents I've seen have that piece that will close off the tent if you drive away from your campsite during the day. The doors are massive and screened so it should have adequate ventilation. And the sidewalls are all window so if you leave the rain guard off that's a ton of ventilation!
@@jbird9357 , thanks for the feedback! This tent definitely is spacious, especially for a SUV tent. And I certainly can’t beat the price. I’m sure I’ll get faster with each setup too.
@@outdoormary I'm excited! Want to start traveling in my Equinox. The fact that you did it alone gives me confidence I can do that also. Did you contact Ozark trails about directions?
Were the directions sewn to the carry bag? My OT products have them printed on fabric that is sewn in to an outer pocket on the bag.
@@maryjomccallister9102 , that’s what I was expecting too, my other OT tents have the instructions printed inside as you stated, but for some reason this tent doesn’t, just some warning labels. Luckily it was pretty straightforward to figure out what poles went where though.
Don't like this tent at all. Too long to set up, no windows, and not convienent at all!!
@@debrahcrockatt9641 , I agree. I’m not crazy about it either. I’m glad I didn’t have to pay too much for it. I’m hoping to find one that’s an instant setup in the near future.
Nice video
@@debra298 , thank you! 😊
The clips work good also, those fabric tunnels always make me bite my lip so not to cuss. Sorry to see Ozark Mountain didn’t put the clip action on there. They do have it on some of their tents.
@@rondaashby2558 ,🤣agreed! Those tunnels can bring out the worst in someone.🤣 Hopefully the manufacturer will make improvements at some point.
