Finding a location with shade is ideal. But we understand this isn't always an option. For situations where you cannot find natural shade, you'll want to create a barrier between your tent and the scorching sun.
3. Create a solid sunshade over your tent using two tarps or a reflective space blanket. Tie the tarps or blanket to the shade trees surrounding your tent, leaving a couple of feet between each layer allowing the breeze to flow through.

She has the right idea, although if she's truly trying to stay cool, she's missing the ground cover we discussed in tip #1. But you get where we're going with this. Having a sun shade, or tarp, will help create a much needed barrier to keep the heat at bay.
Just be sure to angle your tarp in the direction of the sun to ensure adequate coverage. You can also use more than one if you have a large tent and wish to cover more mass.
Extra large tarps are available too, and these are especially beneficial when camping with a large group as you can cover multiple tents with one tarp and have a covered seating area, too.
On the following page we'll discuss the type of tent that stays the coolest!

I live in the desert, there is no shade. Pitch tent right as sun goes down, works for me.
Open the tent flaps!
Well the headline did say “stupidly simple”. Pretty accurate huh?
Really ” cool”
My tents were usually a couple of tarps tied to a limb about head high with no flaps on the end and usually put together later in the day

Click bait. Not worth the time.
Some of my best memories are memories of my tenting days. I must say that I feel sort of smug because I practiced all of these tips over 50 years ago. I now have a nice travel trailer but I still enjoy the chance of being with my grand son trout fishing, camping in a tent. It is true that you can take the boy out of the tent, but you can never take the tent out of the man!
