You need to get one of those awnings with aluminum pole frames that you can
park a car or boat under. I think they are around $300 at Sam's
Club/BJ's/Costco. As long as there is no lighting in the area, they are
pretty slick.

I know some Boy Scout troops that use those when they go camping, although
our troop uses traditional canvas dining flies with wooden poles, guy lines,
and stakes.
