I’m looking for recommendations for a cooler that holds standard 12 oz bottles. I’d like to bring some of my beer camping and need a cooler to keep it cold. I was looking at this Coleman 18-quart stacker, it is supposed to hold 12 bottles plus ice:

Any thoughts on this or do you have another favorite cooler?
I’d prefer something collapsible and stowable. Less weight packing it back out. A search on amazon shows a lot of choices.
Euge is right if camping means hiking into a campsite and having to carry everything on your back. If you are camping on a site that you drive up to, park and unload the truck then that cooler should work fine.
I tend to camp in newer hotels with family suites so the hard side cooler would work great! ;D

For car camping I’d prefer hard sides since they are usually better insulated and don’t leek.
I wish I could see a picture of that with bottles in it. I’d just want to make sure that it held 12 bottles upright, not on their sides.
Details state that it can hold two 2 liters soda bottles upright, so I imagine it can hold at least a portion of a 12 pack upright.
My idea of camping is staying at La Quinta. 
If motel surfing then I can say a collapsible with wheels works well and IMO- preferred.
No, it should be Best Western. HARLEY friendly they are, and most of them give you nice big shamee towels to clean your wind shield with. I have a collection. I dont know how to spell shamee, maybe its with an umlaut? But anyway… (great Blues Traveler song)
I’d recomend a 15 gallon Yeti cooler. If you dont like it, I’ll buy it from you for $100.
