“Here are some photos of the SansBug pop-up mosquito nets on cots in a boy scout canvas wall tent. My son and two other boys used SansBug (1-person) tents on this trip to Rodney Scout Reservation in Maryland last week. Camp Rodney is located on the Chesapeak. The ‘permanent’ canvas scout tents are filled with spiders. The SansBug fit very well on the cots inside the platform tents and did an excellent job keeping the boys bug-free! All three boys were thankful to have the SansBug, they all agreed it made their stay at camp much more enjoyable without the worry of having any critters bothering them in the middle of the night.
We will certainly recommend the SansBug to everyone, it is an excellent product!
Best regards,

Rodney Scout Reservation is the only Scout camp on the Chesapeake. With a mile of waterfront, Camp Rodney is a favorite for its aquatics program which is touted as the best in the nation. The facilities are spread out so its a good idea to bring a mountain bike. However, since the terrain is hilly, you have to be careful to ride slowly and don’t forget your helmet. Some folks also recommend bringing a couple of shoes so you can alternate between them to reduce blisters. The reservation is over 900 acres.
Mosquito Netting for Camping
The mosquitoes are legendary (some have been said to fly away with Scouts!). So the SansBug mosquito net tent is not luxury gear but a must-have item in your summer camp packing list. You can also thank the lots of spiders for keeping the mosquito and other bug population somewhat down! Thankfully, unlike Camp Ransburg, there are no colorful but venomous critters like black widows, copperheads and rattlesnakes!
The canvas tents on wooden platforms at Camp Rodney are wide enough for two SansBugs to comfortably fit with space in between them. Note that the overhang over the cot is necessary. The mosquito net tent has to be wider than the cot so you don’t get bit. Happy camping!
