Arcadia Trail Dog Shade Tent from PetSmart

You can use this pop up tent, which comes in multiple sizes to fit a variety of breeds, many ways. Tuck it under your tent’s rain flap to keep pets nearby without taking up limited real estate in your tent. Or use it to give them a place to escape the sun during the day at the campground. It even comes with a front awning that provides extra shade, and poles and lines to keep the tent securely in place. Mesh windows allow for plenty of air flow, and include roll-up covers.

This tent comes with everything pets need for comfort in the shade.

This tent packs up just like the bigger human versions. Use the included instructions and poles to set it up. My kids, at ages 11, 10, and 7, had no trouble following the steps to erect it. The canvas will not keep your pet secure, so your pet should never be left alone. But it allows them to control their sun (and rain, thanks to the waterproof fabric) exposure. Combined with a pet fence, it makes the perfect spot for canines to hang out at the campground.
