How to Set Up a Water Tent

Roughing it is part of the fun of camping, but with that said, being able to wash the filth from your body can make the camping experience more comfortable. Some camping areas have showers, but they are often less than private and can be a long way from your specific campsite. Water tents give you the comfort of being able to shower during a camping trip by giving you the privacy one needs during such a private moment.

Removeable PVC water (toiletry) bag and hose

  Fit the other end of the fiberglass pole into the end of an alloy pole, then clip the pole to the tent with a pole clip that's attached to the tent. Insert the pin at the base of the tent into the pole. Repeat for the other poles.

  Pull the corners of the tent into form so all four corners take shape. Fit the roof fly if needed. Pull the rest of the tent into form holding it in place with pegs. Clip the floor in place and attach the toiletries bag.
