Even while splashing around in the sea, your camping shelter can be hard at work, stopping sand from getting blown over your belongings. If you're taking the family to the beach for a day out, a camping tarp or shelter is ideal for protecting you from the strong sun. You don't always need to put up a full tent if you want a little shelter from the wind or sun. Alternatively, if you want to get close to nature with some wild camping, just grab your camping tarp and a hammock for a night under the stars. If you have friends staying in neighbouring tents, a camping tarp can provide a common area for everyone to store their kit or even just shelter under. You can use a tarp as a makeshift porch for your tent to extend your camping setup and give you extra space to cook your evening meal.

But they are hugely versatile and can be used for many different things. Camping tarps are an often underrated bit of camping kit.
