These hanging tents are extremely well designed and probably the best choice for someone who is serious about camping in comfort.

If you are going on a day hike or weekend camping trip a shower may not be your highest priority. However, they are quite a luxury to have for those longer camping trips. Most of my buddies that I camp with on extended trips are all fine with bathing in the river, but that can be rather cold at times. Having a camping shower provides you with warm water to freshen up after a long day in nature, which can prove to be much needed.
