While most packages will arrive on time, there may be circumstances and delays that our carriers may experience.
The shepherd’s hook design, in contrast, held lines secure. We also wanted self-standing tents, which can stay up on their own. Even so, you should, ideally, stake down each corner securely; in some crowded campgrounds, however, finding a flat spot with soil soft enough to do that can be difficult.
Like our couples’ tent pick, the Wireless 6 is a dome-shaped tent with a tried and true two-pole design. It has an interior footprint of 87 square feet, which sleeps four adults on single pads, or two adults and two or three children, and can accommodate a crib. That wasn’t the tallest we encountered—the Eureka Copper Canyon LX 6 and ozark trail canopy tent the Alps Mountaineering Camp Creek 6 each topped out at 7 feet—but it’s enough space for most adults to maneuver standing up. The tent comes with a full rain fly that adds two vestibules for storage (each 14 square feet), totaling 115 square feet of livable space—which is fairly generous yet still practical for most campsites.
Imagine this… the sun peeks around a magnificent white cloud. You kick back in an Ozark Outdoors Resort luxury river tube; tip your toe in the water, and watch drops trickle off your fingers. The current carries you into a dreamy world where hustle and bustle no longer exists. Enjoy a River Rafting, Canoeing, Kayaking or Tubing trip on the Meramec, Huzzah or Courtois River.
Get away and enjoy riverside tent camping, full hookup RV sites, our outdoor swimming pool, playgrounds, seasonal events, a fully stocked mercantile store, country cooking at the Paddler’s Grill and much more. If you can afford to spend more on a family tent, we recommend The North Face Wawona 6. Everyone who tested this tent loved it, and it’s not hard to understand why. With plenty of interior space, near-vertical walls, and a gigantic vestibule that could accommodate a golf cart, the Wawona feels more like a tiny home than a tent. Coleman makes no dedicated footprints for its tents—the idea being that the polyethylene is tough enough not to need one.
If you’ve ever been on a camping or extended hiking trip, you know how sweaty, dirty, and smelly you can be after a long day outdoors. Unfortunately, unless you’re camping near a lake or waterfall, there aren’t many places in nature that you can clean off, especially not with warm water. But that’s where a shower tent with a solar shower comes in. Like most dome-style tents, the Wireless 6 withstands wind like a champ—it fared noticeably better than the Camp Creek 6 in 15-mph gusts. The continuous curve of the dome shape allows for wind to pass over and around it.
