Camping Hacks, Tips, and Tricks : When car camping, use a canopy along with your tent when it rains.
First when I saw these pictures, I thought it was pretty dumb. Why would anybody use a canopy
along with a tent ?!But this Memorial Day weekend when it was pouring cats and dogs in Washington, I wished I'd thought about that myself before going camping.
Adding a canopy will allow you to cook your food/BBQ, store additional camping gear, and "enjoy" the outdoors while being protected from the rain/wind.
It's portable and sturdy, quick, simple, and easy set up. And if you add a couple of "walls" and led lights, it will protect you from the elements in a myriad of settings and under almost any weather conditions, plus, you can continue your party way into the night.
Remember : The number one enemy of the camper in the PNW is neither bears nor bugs : it is RAIN !
So next time you'll go camping, bring along a canopy, like the one below. Trust me, you won't regret !

Using a canopy works great in the south as well. We have used a canopy for years with a tent on trips with Cub Scouts. Gives shade from the hot Texas sun and if the legs are adjustable, shorten two legs and angle the top to help block wind/rain.
