Free-hanging portable hammocks for canoe camping should be lightweight, compact and made from quick drying materials like nylon bodies and polyester non-slip rope for hanging. For lounging around the campsite, simple one-piece slings with no netting or rainfly will suffice. Sleeping hammock tents are available with no-see-um mosquito netting and rainflies to provide protection from bugs, rain and dew. Non-wicking rope will prevent moisture from seeping into the hammock.
