Shade and Privacy

Many of the Colorado State Parks have enough trees to provide shade at the campsites … and sometimes even plenty of privacy from neighbors. But we’ve also stayed in parks — state park and otherwise — that provide neither. So we bought some shade panels to add to the side of our awning as necessary. The panels are partially see through so we are not surprised by anyone approaching our site..

One of the reasons we wanted to do this quick getaway to Mueller State Park was to customize the fit of the panels. Managed to get that done this morning. We can stake them down so they don’t blow in the breeze, but opted not to do so today … in case the afternoon monsoon rains come with stiff winds and we need to remove the panels quickly.

In the photos, you’ll note a short panel on the front edge of the awning. It is for the zip-in shade and privacy panel we’ve had for a couple of years. Since our site overlooks the trees with no neighbors in that direction, we’re not using it on this trip. When we do, however, we’ll have a nice little enclosed patio.Okumaya devam et
