Best Camping Screen Houses & Rooms of 2025

"I purchased this tent to combat flies while camping. Surprisingly good quality for the price! The fine mesh kept out gnats, flies, and mosquitoes. We managed to fit a chair, hammock, and a dog bed inside, although it was a bit cramped. I appreciated the flaps at the bottom to keep bugs out, and the top tie worked well with our tent fan."

"Living by a lake in Florida, this screen tent is a game changer! Assembling it is quick and easy, and I appreciate not needing to stake it down for stability. It really enhances our outdoor experience and looks fantastic too!"

"We loved our tent! It was fantastic during our six-week camping trip. No bugs at all! However, dismantling it was a bit of a challenge. Thankfully, East Oak's customer service was amazing; they provided a new video to help us out, and we were very satisfied with their assistance."

"I was thrilled with my purchase! I needed a screen tent for a small picnic and set it up all by myself at 70 years old. I carefully followed the instructions and took off the fabric strap, and it popped open flat. It was easy to erect panel by panel, and I didn't need sandbags or tent pegs on a windless day. The 10x10 size comfortably fit our table and four chairs. The mesh kept bugs out, and I found it to be well-made for a lightweight shelter. I managed to take it down alone, but needed help to twist it back into the bag. I'm super pleased and can't wait to take it to the beach!"

"I just turned 70 and had no trouble opening or folding this tent down, even with a wrist brace. Just remember to lean back when removing the strap, as it springs open with force. The mesh screen is fine enough that even no-see-ums can't get through, and it's shiny like silk, very elegant. My Weimaraner claimed it as her own dog house! We're using it in a pool enclosure, and I recommend adding strong velcro at the bottom for cats. The zipper is ultra smooth and the tent is roomy with great height. Folding it down was easy, and it fit back into the carrying bag without hassle. Buy this brand, you won't regret it!"

"This has been one of my best camping purchases! We set it up to create a safe haven from mosquitoes and other insects, keeping our food protected from meat bees. It's easy to set up and fold down once you get the hang of it. I’m really happy with it!"

"I watched some YouTube videos on setting up this tent, and when I tried it myself, it was just as easy as the demonstrations. Taking it down is just as simple too. These tents are gaining popularity. When we go camping, I notice more and more of them around - people love them. After seeing how easy the setup and takedown was, our friends went out and got their own, and they love it just like we do. I would highly recommend this tent!"

"This tent is truly amazing! I wish I had invented it. It's incredible how it goes up with just one person. There are no parts to assemble; it's foolproof. The wind panels are a nice touch for privacy. Awesome product! I plan to come back to this review after a couple of seasons to discuss its durability and whether I'd change anything. Bravo, Clam!"

"I absolutely love this shelter! Setting it up and taking it down is very easy and fast, taking about five minutes for each. During our first use, we encountered heavy rain, and I noticed a little seepage at a few roof seams. However, I waterproofed all the seams, and now I have no issues in the rain. I am very pleased!"

"I’m a 5'5", 112 lb middle-aged woman, and I was concerned this tent might be hard to manage alone. However, after taking it on a 5-day camping trip, I found it was quite manageable. While it’s not the lightest, I could easily handle it in and out of my car roof carrier. The materials and craftsmanship are excellent, and I expect it to last a long time. Watching setup videos online helped a lot; unzipping the flaps beforehand made a significant difference. The setup was incredibly simple—just unfold each leg and push it up until it snaps into place. It’s spacious enough to keep bugs out and provide shade. The take-down process was just as quick, making it perfect for all my camping trips!"

"I love this Instant Screened Canopy because I can set it up and take it down by myself. Last winter, my gazebo was destroyed in a windstorm, so I wanted something easier to manage. Initially, I struggled with setup and called my son for help. After realizing the poles needed to be outside, I downloaded the manual from Coleman’s website. With the correct instructions, I was able to put it up in about 5 minutes by myself! This canopy serves its purpose perfectly, offering bug protection and keeping debris out of my hot tub. It appears sturdy and is reasonably priced—definitely a great investment!"

"At a waterfront campsite, I set up the tent on the first night, but strong winds blew it 20 feet away onto the rocks. Fortunately, it remained unharmed! I recommend using big plastic tent pegs and some rocks to weigh it down in windy areas. We enjoyed it multiple times over the summer, as it provided a welcome escape from wasps and shade while still feeling open-air. The setup and take-down were incredibly quick, taking me only about 2 minutes with my 9-year-old son helping."

"I went camping in Florida and always bring a mosquito canopy. I wish it had more length at the bottom to stake down, but it still does a great job at keeping bugs out."

"I had multiple issues with the one I received. The stitching was poor, and the zippers on the doors were terrible. I managed to survive a 5-day camping trip, but I wouldn't count on it in bad weather."

"The instructions were totally inaccurate, but I found it easy to set up like a pop-up tent. I really like this product as it provides a comfortable outdoor space for my friends who smoke."

"I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase! I needed a replacement for my old tent, which couldn't withstand the winds. This new tent popped right out of the bag and was a breeze to set up in under 10 minutes. The tiny mesh keeps even the smallest bugs out, and it’s held up well against gusty winds without needing extra weights. I rate it a 10 out of 10! Worth every penny."

"I love this tent! It effectively keeps pesky bugs and mosquitoes out while allowing a cool breeze to flow in. It took me just 5 minutes to set up, and I didn’t even need sandbags or stakes. It stays in place even in the wind. The zipper works smoothly, and the quality feels very heavy-duty. There's enough space for four folding chairs or two Adirondack chairs and a small table. You won’t regret getting it!"

"I was really disappointed with this purchase. We loved the tent for the brief time we used it because it kept the bugs out. However, the mesh around the zipper tore while we were unzipping it, despite being very careful. It’s a shame because if I just needed a sunshade, I might have kept it, but we specifically needed something for bug protection. I ended up returning it.”

"I found the size to be decent and it was pretty simple to put up. However, I realized the magnetic closure isn't very effective for keeping bugs out."

"While I appreciate the idea behind the magnets, I noticed that unless the doors are closed perfectly, they don't really stay shut. There are also numerous gaps where bugs can enter."

"In theory, it's a nice screenhouse, but it really lacks in areas that could be improved for better bug protection when I'm relaxing at the campsite."

“I used this screen tent on my recent camping trip, and I found it incredibly easy to set up. The magnetic door closures made entering and exiting a breeze. I was particularly impressed when a severe storm hit, and despite the tent partially collapsing, it withstood the elements without any damage.”

“We purchased this tent for our patio to keep bugs at bay. It works wonders! My one-and-a-half-year-old can easily operate the door, and the waterproof roof has kept us dry. While some minor holes need patching, it’s still in great shape after several months of use.”

“After searching for a screen room under $200, I found this one. It held up during a rainstorm without any leaks, though I did notice the doors didn’t stay closed. I’m considering ways to improve the magnet screen doors since they pop open easily, but overall, I’m happy with my purchase.”

"I’ve had my screen tent for about a year, and it’s been fantastic. Assembly was easy, even as a solo effort, taking just minutes. The design is impressive, and the magnetic doors work well. Just a tip: don’t pull the support lines too tight, or the doors might not close properly."

"This screen tent has proven its durability through some serious winds, even up to 60 mph! While it swayed, it held up strong. However, the poles feel a bit flimsy and need regular tightening, and the magnets are not very strong. Overall, I highly recommend this screen tent."

"I really love this screen room! It’s spacious, and I can eat outdoors without worrying about bugs. But, I encountered a problem when heavy rain caused the roof poles to break. I ended up buying replacements, but they broke too. Be cautious if you plan to use it in rainy conditions."

"I absolutely love the extra headroom and straight walls in this screen room! The attached rain flaps were a key reason for my purchase. After needing to replace my old Eureka screen house that lasted 30+ years, I truly hope to achieve the same longevity with this new model!"

"This screen house came to my rescue during a trip where we had to stay longer than expected. It provided creature comforts at high altitude, even in the rain and cold. The height is fantastic—no more stooping for the adults! There's plenty of room for gear, dining, and other activities, and I love how easy it is to keep everything dry with the smooth zippers."

"Having camped a lot, I found this screen house to be perfect! The setup took a bit more effort than pop-up canopies, but it was manageable with two people in about 5-10 minutes. I appreciate the 6-foot clearance, which made entering and exiting simple. The side walls effectively kept bugs out and the overall design was very user-friendly."
