You can tell that i don't live near a ocean or large body of water ,
yet. When i was going to school in Minnesota the bugs weren't really
bad. Worse than here in ohio. The portable hammock i found weight around
20 lbs. , ok for a weekend trip. The hammock comes with its own stand .
:-) . I won't know what kind of tent that would work the best , secure
it to the ground. From article i read , this may not be a problem
(designated camp grounds ).

We camped on the ocean side and found that the main issue was the strong
wind combined with just having sand to secure the tent stakes. On our
first trip back to town we bought some larger stakes and supplemented
them with sticks tied to rope and buried in the sand. We didn't have
any problems with our tent but saw a few others blowing across the beach.
The horses sometimes wandered through camp and brushed up against tents
and other things.
