Packing down to only 72” x 8” x 8”, the Clam Quick Set Escape Shelter Popup Tent is an ideal option for family camping trips. Enjoy the great outdoors without the bugs inside the Coleman Evanston 8-Person Tent with Screen Room. The tent’s WeatherTec system features patented welded floors and inverted seams to keep the rain off you and your gear; a rainfly is included for extra weather protection. Extended awnings let you keep the windows open for enhanced air circulation without letting in the rain. The tent also comes with a separate screened-in room for extra ventilation, covered storage for your gear, or an extra sleeping area on warmer, dry nights.
The add-on fly for our runner-up pick, the L.L.Bean Woodlands Screen House, offers four-walled protection, though it’s also more than twice as expensive. The Evanston is a solid dome design with a fairly low profile and heavily slanted walls. It also comes pre-installed with guylines and a full set of totally adequate stakes, so this tent passed our wind tests quite well.

A canopy tent is a purchase most regular car campers consider after stocking up on the basics. After all, you can find plenty of smaller and less-expensive items to help you fight bugs, coleman canopy guard against the sun, and shrug off rain. The REI Co-op Screen House Shelter is easy to set up and pleasant to use, providing good protection from bugs, sun, and gentle rain showers.
With the net in place, you have two access points with vertical zippers, the doors are on the opposite sides. But this is a large structure and in view of this, taking it down or setting it up is rather easy, and the word ‘instant’ in the name is quite justified. They claim you need about three minutes and three steps to set it up. The picture below shows one of the stages in the setup before extending its legs.
Bringing along the Coleman Instant Screenhouse means mosquitos will never again ruin your camping trips. The perfect canopy for the beach or mountain trips, the Caddis Rapid Shelter Canopy is a heavy-duty shelter that guarantees you can still have fun even if the sun is blazing or the rain is coming down. It only takes about one minute to setup the tent which can be easily adjusted to three different heights by using the push-release buttons. The canopy has a top height of 11’ and offers 100 square feet of space. It has a waterproof top, is flame-resistant, and provides UV protection. The four straps allow you to secure the fabric to the frame, and stakes are included to secure the frame to the ground.
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 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.
The Screen House Shelter packs into a reasonably roomy drawstring bag with a strap that makes the canopy tent much easier to transport than tents, like the L.L.Bean, that lack a strap. The size of this tent and the mesh-covered vestibule are great for a family. Four people and furry friends will easily fit with some extra room coleman screen tent leftover. Storage is a problem with this tent, however, because it only comes with two pockets but because the vestibule isn’t properly protected from the rain. Likewise, should your family be stuck in the tent during a storm, there is no way to cook unless you do so completely inside the tent, which is never a good idea.
