Why You Need A Waterproof Canopy As Part Of Your Camping Gear

Taking along a waterproof canopy on your next camping trip is a good idea. The canopy can be used for several different applications that will make the experience all the more enjoyable. In fact, you will wonder how you ever got along without one.  

Designated Kitchen Area  

One of the fun things about camping is the ability to cook outside. In order to make sure the camp site is organized and you can cook even if a little rain moves into the area, set up a waterproof canopy for the cooking area. You can easily set up the grill, position the cooler and even place a small table that is ideal for food preparation. If the canopy is large enough, you can even leave room for a couple of camping chairs to make the space a little cozier.  

For maximum benefit, invest in a canopy that comes with detachable screens. These can easily be snapped into place if mosquitoes become a nuisance. Assuming you are camping at grounds set aside for the purpose rather than in the forest, you can also zip up the screens at the end of the day and rest assured your kitchen will be ready for use first thing in the morning.  

When choosing the right canopy for your camping trip, make sure the device will be large enough to serve the purposes you have in mind. Also make sure the frame can be assembled with a minimum of effort. Since the goal of a camping trip is to get away from the fast pace of everyday living, you don't want to spend a lot of your time putting together the camp site. If everything can be set up in less than an hour, that will leave more time to enjoy the sights, take in some fishing and allow yourself the luxury of not doing anything on a set schedule.
