Why not just set up a regular tent on the ground?
I do that too! Plus hammock camping is great. But this setup is more comfortable for 2 plus the dog, and it’s nice to be off the ground with a bit more room. It’s a comfy way to camp, and I love how easy it is to get changed and put on boots sitting at the tailgate. It all started when I saw that $50 tent on Marketplace, and I think it was a good choice for what I wanted.
