But since you’ll be away from many conveniences, you’ll want to make sure you’re prepared. One of the ways to make sure you have an amazing trip is by bringing along one of the best camping canopies. While most people think your camping tent is the most important part of your trip, the truth is that most people don’t stay in the tent when they’re not sleeping. The Coleman 15 × 13 Instant Screenhouse is essentially a larger version of the Coleman 10 × 10 Instant Screened Canopy, and it has similar shortcomings.
The cap-like roofs on both models provided far less shade than we wanted, especially in the beating desert sun. The mesh walls do have a ribbon of polyester at the foot, but even carefully staked they can leave gaps at the ground; if bug protection is your main concern, these tents would likely fall short. Finally, these shelters feel noticeably smaller than any of our picks. We also tested and liked the Coleman Mountain View 12 x 12 Screendome Shelter; it was an also-great pick until Coleman discontinued the model. The Clam Quick-Set Escape was by far the toughest canopy tent we tested.
We later used the shelters on group trips at Wheeler Gorge Campground near Ojai, California, and at the La Jolla group campsite at Point Mugu, as well as on a trip to the El Mirage Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. We eliminated canopies that were not big enough to comfortably shelter a picnic table, concluding that a table is probably coleman screen tent the number-one spot where campers would place such a structure. We also eliminated bulky, heavy shelters that are intended to be used as semipermanent backyard fixtures. If you love camping but hate eating your morning pancakes in the rain, a canopy tent can protect you from the trifecta of bugs, sun, and sudden showers.
Eight stakes and four guy ropes are included to help you secure the canopy. The Crown Shades Outdoor Pop-up Canopy is one of the best things to bring along on your next camping trip.
