Ozark Trail Instant 2-Room Shower Changing Shelter Outdoor Review

A backpack carry bag makes transporting your shower tent easy. The Ozark Trail Hazel Creek Deluxe Shower Tent is the ideal addition to your camping gear. The geodesic structure of the Base Camp tents is built to withstand wind and rain.

As mentioned, this is also an instant setup structure with spring poles sewn-in into the tent, so you just throw it in the air and it will deploy itself. There are one external door and one door between the two rooms. This is an instant-type structure so you have telescopic poles, this all is very easy to use.

With a deep, narrow valley surrounded by a striking and rugged landscape, Roaring River State Park is one of Missouri’s most popular state parks. The North Face Wawona 4, which we used to list in our Other Good Tents section, has been redesigned; it’s now made of polyester, not nylon. Weighing just 7 pounds, the tent is light enough to double for backpacking trips, especially if you divide the pieces among hikers. It is a good idea to put some palette under the shower floor to raise it off the ground and avoid mud created when you take a shower. You can use one of the rooms as a shower room and the other is up to you.

There are hooks and loops on the four legs for this purpose. This tent has a base size of 7.8 x 3.93 ft so it offers an area of around 31 ft² (2.9 m²). So you realize this is more than in most of the privacy tents here in the list. The peak height is 6.56 ft (200 cm), so I find this a bit low for a shower. You have a frame that is a combination of steel and fiberglass.

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 ozark trail canopy tent curve of the dome shape allows for wind to pass over and around it. You can also get a nice cross breeze going by leaving the vestibules open.

As with most six-person tents, the Wawona 6’s footprint is sold separately. 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 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.
