tents for camping walmart image

I know they will let you (or atleast used to let you) have an RV there overnight, but what about tents?
Answer
About tent camping at Walmart, I don't know, but some WalMarts do allow RVer's to stay overnight, but I would call or go inside the store and get clearance from the manager and/or store security before attempting to park in their parking lot all night. Even then, you may still be asked to leave. A friend of ours had permission from the store, but the town's policies did not allow for 'camping' in any public place over night and our friend was rudely awakened by the police knocking on his door at 1 AM who told him he had to leave. So, he had to get dressed and hit the road again until he found a truck stop where he tried to get a few more hours sleep before he had to start driving the next day.

What is a Best tent for camping in the heat?
b w
I am going to a festival that the heats gets a little much in the mornings, I understand tent fans are around so i guess which is the best tent fan/ tent combo. I do not want a pro one thats super $$ just in case it has to be left behind at the concert (on the other side of the country) heh thank you for your time and answers
Answer
Tarps and hammocks are the best. They make hammocks with mosquito netting built in if bugs are a problem.
Tarps eliminate walls and you get more ventilation. No privacy really. You can pitch it low over a rope (tied between two trees and knotted to maximize opposing forces, you want it really tight) into an A frame that doesn't quite hit the ground, or into a modified A frame where one side is longer than the other, or a flat plane on an incline with the tarp opening to the private side. You still get more circulation under a tarp because the ends are open, you can cover them in rain with what is called a "beak", by using a poncho or a piece of plastic.
When you use tarps, you also want a ground cover, this could be a piece of 6 mm plastic, a neat sheet, or a piece of nylon from Walmart's clearance fabric dept or even a trash bag that you cut open.
Campmor and REI have great tarps, look for their 8x10 nylon tarp, it is waterproof, and very easy to use, grommets, for about 40 US dollars. You have to get your own line to pitch it with. Nylon masonry cord in bright colors is great. I always color coded mine to find corners vs sides. Tarps can also be plastic, such as you would throw over the bed of your pickup or a stack of firewood, or you can use any piece of waterproof material that you can tie corners into a sheetbend (a knot). You can get all kinds of tarps, all different carry weights, etc. I always had great results with the first one I mentioned, from www.campmor.com
Mosquito hammocks are great. For shelter over you, pitch a tarp as above, just higher, no ground cover needed. What is so cool about these is that you get air circulation all around you. Sucks in the winter so I always hit the ground but in summer there is NOTHING better. Your pack goes underneath you for maximum shelter of you and your gear, if you have it with you. So you don't need a lot of surface area under the shelter, use a smaller tarp, save packweight.
Hennessey Hammocks offer a lot of hammocks, they all have rainflys which attach directly to the hammock, eliminating the need for a tarp. Very popular. I never did like them.
Other hammock brands, these are cottage industries for the most part...so supporting small businessmen, you will pay more to buy from the little guys:
Speer
mosquitohammock.com
Crazy Creek
Clark or Clarke (not sure sp)
Byer of Maine
Travel Hammock
(above are all silk or nylon hammocks) Prices for these vary a lot. With a bugnet you will pay more. Without, they can start at 15 dollars....Hennesseys start at about 100 dollars.
You can also get rope/mesh/net ones that leave nice waffle prints on your butt, and these are available at most discount stores for about 10 dollars.
Have fun, don't forget your bug net if you are near water.
