Is it worth getting a screened canopy for camping?
I have quite a few camping trips booked for around Ontario this summer, last summer the times it rained when I went I really wished I had a screened shelter then.
I usually camp alone with my dog or with one other person, occasionally more. So I wanted one that could fit over the picnic tables at the provincial parks for if it rains. My only problem I’ve come into is most not so expensive shelters are slanted or have more screen than coverage, and I feel like rain would just get in and make it useless.
I’ve looked into more expensive ones that have what I’m looking for but since I go with few people at most, I’m just not sure if it’s worth it and to just stick to tarps and ropes/poles as shelter. I’ve also had to consider the difficulty of set up when I’m alone.
Any recommendations of shelter tents or opinions on what I should do would be appreciated!!
