Stating this tent is 5x7 is not exactly true, it is five feet wide in the middle but is only about four feet wide on each end, it is seven feet long. You will need to seal the seams and I also waterproofed mine just in case. It is was easily set up by one person and seems well made. Will be really small for two people and seems more suited for one person.

This is a great little tent for the money. Me and the wife backpack with hammocks but there is no were for jaco our bullmastiff. Now we all split the weight between the three of us And he has his own house! But we were surprised with how nice the tent is. We could use this for our small concert tent! Love it

Easy set-up. Light. Packs up small. Dont use the case it comes in. Just stuff it in your pack. Stakes are no good for sand but fine for anything else. It rained my first night out and the tent stayed dry. I do recomened a ground pad. 2nd night it got down to 32. Tent stayed dry inside. Sleeps one big guy easy. If there's two of you make sure # 2 is someone you want to get very close to.

I didn't even open up this tent. My Boy Scout son needed a hiking tent for ONE scout to take with him on a backpacking hike. I saw this one and it was the right price. When I got it, it was long and skinny, not something that could be carried in a backpack easily. My 3-4 man hiking tent was smaller than this one and would have fit in his backpack. I love this brand of tents, BUT I needed one that would fit into a 60L backpack.

I purchased this tent to use myself, only one person. I doubt it would be roomy enough for two adults... maybe two children. It was easy to put up, after reading the directions several times.

Although the other reviews may say this tent is a tight squeeze for two people, you also have to remember it is a tent that is ment to be light weight. I was able to fit two people with enough room if you put one person's head next to anothers feet. That being said, the tent is very light, and is very water proof (frost proof also). I would recommend spraying the tent with seal to be on safe side but is still an unbeatable purchase for only $30 .

Review 12 for Ozark Trail 7' x 5' Hiker Tent, Sleeps 1-2
I have used this tent. It was adequate. I am 6'3, 260 lbs. Some other tents I have bought did not measure up to the advertised dimensions. I can stretch out in this one. Excellent tent for a backpacker who is not rich.

Got this for camping trips on my motorcycle. Rolls up small, Easy to set up & take down, even for one person. The stakes that come with it are thin & weak, had to buy some better tent stakes, and I treated it with seam sealer and waterproofing spray. Rained every night of my last camping trip, and I never got wet at all inside. Would be nice if it had some windows other than the door panel, you can take the rainfly off and the tent is all mesh on top, but would not want to do that in case of rain. All in all, it is pretty close to perfect for my needs, and not a bad price.

Got this tent to go camping. This tent was pretty small for two average sized adults. It really is a hiker tent and folds up really small into a handy zip pouch. I felt very confined with two adults in the tent, but my husband seemed to thinking it wasn't bad- I'm not a fan to confined spaces. The tent is not very tall, and I don't think it really measures out to be 5 feet wide. It is however long enough, I am 5'8 and I fit fine in the tent, with a bit of room to spare. Great price, but the quality is you get what you pay for. It is weather sealed at the bottom, so I am assuming it is weather protected.

I've been looking and researching for months for a small and affordable tent. One day not long before my trip, this suddenly appears on walmart.com. What a great find! I ordered it right away and it made it just in time. It is the perfect size for 1-2, meaning 1 comfortably and 2 if you want to get cozy ;) The top is mostly mesh so it's really nice without the rain fly for ventilation and stargazing. We also got a tarp for a couple dollars from the hardware store to use as a footprint. It rolls up and fits snugly inside the bag with the tent. The tent is freestanding, it can be set up by 1 person, and the stakes aren't absolutely necessary (recommended though).

does not pack small

Bought this to use as a two man backpacking tent for my wife and I. It's a good thing we don't mind snuggling because this tent is a tight fit for two. if your a solo hiker it is very roomy (I'm 6'2" and weigh 220lbs and have plenty of room for me plus gear). Weighs around four pounds so its a good choice for a light weight tent. There are some lighter models from other retailers but don't expect to pay $30. My eureka spitfire weighs around 3lbs but cost over $100. My biggest complaint is this tent does NOT pack small. The fiberglass poles only collapse down to about 20-24 inches. I have to strap them to the outside of my pack.

I too had considered the Eureka Spitfire + Kelty Garrison along w/ couple other versions by various manufactures before settling on this "OT" tent thru W-Mart. Ultimately selected this specific Ozark Trail (American Rec.) model primarily due to similar reasoning & highlights you mention. Price was irresistable & tuff to beat. I strictly wanted 1-2 person tent for Self & minimal gear inside when camping / trekking solo missions. When joined by a male friend each has his own shelter -- plain & simple. I don't have a strong desire for camping Outside during Wintertime so I wasn't concerned about a 4-season tent in the slightest. Whether primitive camping or other -- if vehicle can reach, my custom van accommodates nicely !
{Considering design form of tent here -- imagine you could position 2 same tents...nose to nose. Obviously doors would face opposite sides of one another but practical in given situations}
* Max. . .number of people listed w/ most tents = Wall to Wall + Breathing space *

Bad design

Tent is small, smells weird and has a seam running directly through the rain fly where it dips like a saddle at the top center of the tent. If it doesn't leak new, it will over time. Very small inside and it is not a free-standing tent - it must be strung out and anchored at the sides or it sags into itself. Even at the low low price, it fails to meet basic expectations for usability.
Do a lot of hiking and wanted the small, light tent to fit the pack and myself in. Still looking...

What can You Expect For $28?

Even the best of tents and rain flys need to be seam sealed where they are sewed together. Even free standing tents need to be staked down in case of high winds or bad weather. I suggest you look at the "Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 1" tent. I have seen it on other websites for about $100. It's a good quality tent. Another thing is that the stakes that come with most tents are cheap and bend easily. I suggest buying "MSR Groundhog" stakes. They cost about $20 for 8 of them. Being a backpacker you should invest in good equipment. It's not like you can just run to the car if it starts to storm!

But do not recomend for two people. My bf is 6'3" and I am 5'3". We fit but no room to move and you can't fit your gear in tent with you, so if your backpacking you need to find something else to put your stuff in. But all in all gtreat for the money;)
