It’s camping season in Australia, whether you’re camping in your backyard, by the coast or in Australia’s vast bushland, the key to a successful camping experience comes down to a prepared and protected campsite.
If you know an Australian summer, you know we’re bound to get serious heat, rain (and sometimes even storms) and wind. Either way, camping is always filled with making amazing memories despite the crazy weather. The most versatile must-have on your camping trip is Tarp.

Make the rope super tight!
Hang tarp over ridgeline to create an A-frame.
Connect ropes and peg down with tent pegs.
Shield campsite from wind
Connect tarp to one side of gazebo at entrance where wind is coming through.
Connect with cable ties and lock down with tent pegs.
