What type is this Ozark Trail Hazel Creek 20-Person Star Tent
This tent is absolutely massive! It’s as big as a small house, measuring 23 feet by 24.5 feet. When you see it set up, you’ll understand why they call it the “Star” tent – it’s truly impressive!
This tent is like a small house! It’s shaped like a cabin, with tall walls and a flat roof. Inside, you’ll find four separate bedrooms, a big open space in the middle shaped like a pentagon (a five-sided shape), and a screened-in porch area. That makes it a 5-room tent! I even put it on my list of the coolest 5-room tents.
What makes this tent really special is that there’s no other tent like it on the market with this many rooms. It’s truly one-of-a-kind
You can see in the picture that each of the bedrooms is marked with a letter “Q.” That means each bedroom is big enough to fit a queen-size bed, and the main room in the middle can fit two! This tent is really tall, too. You can stand up straight in all the rooms, and the ceiling in the main room is over 7 feet high!
The second picture shows the main room in the middle. See those dividers with zippers? Those lead to each of the four bedrooms. The bedrooms are totally separate from each other, and the zippers on the dividers give you lots of privacy. You can even zip up the doors to the bedrooms for complete privacy!
Each bedroom also has its own door that leads to the outside. And with three windows in each bedroom (one on the door and two on the sides), you’ll have plenty of light and fresh air. The windows have two layers: a mesh screen to keep bugs out and a zippered panel for privacy.
The Screen Room
The screened-in porch area is really big – over 60 square feet! The picture shows you what it looks like from the front. It has a rug that you can take in and out, and it only protects you from a little bit of rain. But it does a great job of keeping out those pesky flying bugs!
The screened-in porch is the perfect spot for cooking or eating. It’s shady, keeps the bugs away, and has tons of space! This tent is definitely one of the best when it comes to having a great screen room.
Imagine relaxing in this spacious screen room! It extends a full 8 feet from the tent, providing ample space for chairs, a table, and more. You can see its impressive depth in the image below.
The Materials
Poles and pegs
This tent comes with a lot of poles – 22 in total! Seven of them are made of strong steel and are used for the legs of the tent. The other 15 are made of fiberglass and are used for the roof. Don’t worry, though, setting it up isn’t as hard as it sounds. All the poles are color-coded, so you know exactly where they go. With a little practice, you can have this tent set up in about 30 minutes. You’ll also get 34 stakes to make sure the tent is secure on the ground. Just look at all the parts that come with it!
The fabric
- Walls and Rainfly: The walls and rain cover are made of strong polyester fabric that can handle a decent amount of rain. The seams are sealed up to prevent leaks.
- Floor: The floor is made of thick, waterproof polyethylene to keep you dry even if the ground is wet.
- Mesh: The mesh windows are made of durable polyester mesh.
- Carrying Bag: Even the carrying bag is made of tough stuff! It’s made from strong polyester Oxford fabric.
Other characteristics
- You’ll find four E-ports in this tent, so there are plenty of options for plugging in your devices.
- There’s a loop for hanging a lantern, but for a tent this size, one is probably not enough.
- The main room has 6 pockets with 3 sections each, 2 wall pockets, a gear loft hanging overhead, and 4 gear hammocks. That’s a lot of places to put your stuff! You can see some of them in the pictures below.
- It comes with 8 reflective guy ropes to help keep the tent stable.
- The poles use special connectors to hold them together.
- There’s one 5-way connector in the center of the main room, five 4-way connectors for the corners, and two 2-way connectors for the screen room.
This tent is pretty big and has lots of parts, so it’s important to follow the directions when you set it up. The instructions will show you exactly what to do.
Ventilation
You can see in the pictures that the ceiling of this tent is mostly mesh, which means there’s a huge area for air to flow through. And with 13 mesh windows, you can be sure that this tent will have excellent ventilation!
However, I didn’t see any vents in the floor. Those are really important for when it rains and you have to close all the windows. It’s too bad they didn’t include any floor vents in this tent.
Who Is the For
Space and size:
This tent is gigantic! It says it fits 20 people, and you could probably squeeze that many sleeping bags inside. But realistically, it’s best for a much smaller group. The total floor space is 279 square feet, which means each person would only get about 14 square feet if you actually had 20 people in there. It’s still a huge tent, though, and perfect for big families or groups of friends.
Who is this tent for?
This tent is great for big families because it has so many rooms. It’s also perfect for groups of couples because each bedroom has its own door and plenty of privacy. Plus, there’s a big main room and a screened-in porch for everyone to hang out together.
Weather:
Even though they say you can use this tent for three seasons, I think it’s really best for summer camping. With so much mesh on the ceiling, it wouldn’t be very warm in cooler weather. It’s also not ideal for strong winds or heavy rain.
Weight and packed size:
This tent weighs about 60 pounds, which is pretty heavy. But considering how big it is and how many poles it has, that’s not too bad. It comes with a big carrying bag that has wheels, so it’s easy to move around. When it’s packed up, it’s about 32 inches long and 15 inches wide. You’ll definitely need a car to take this tent camping!
