Those folding airers with the pegs are great. I've got one that is large enough to hang a few bigger things like t-shirts and trousers/shorts too. Also dried towels on it by hanging it across several of the pegs. Maybe not good for a tanker though.
For a weeks camping I have a cheap hanging rail from argos which collapses to nothing. When I pack the clothes at home they go into a soft bag or bags still on hangers and then they go straight on the rail when we get there.
I also have some pop up laundry baskets for underwear which sit under the rail and then dirty clothes go back in the soft bags for the return home.
No need for any cupboards for us.
if going for a few days then would dispense with the rail.
------------- A problem shared is a problem halved
I use a unit like the one in your photo very quick and easy to put up lots of storage space and a useful surface on top. I take a couple of coat hangers and hang up what i plane to where the next day to let any creases drop out. works great and keeps the bedroom tidy.
This is our first year camping and I'm planning some things for next year for storing everything to make it easier to get our kit from house to car to campsite and vice versa.
I'm planning on buying some large plastic boxes of differing size for the tent, plates etc, stove and so on.
For clothes I have two ideas. The first is to buy 2 stackable boxes. Load them into the car one inside the other and when we get to the campsite, unpack the car and then lift the top box which will have the clothes off the empty one below and sit them side by side in the boot. Once we have worn the clothes, put them into the empty box and if things work out properly then by the end of the holiday we should have one full box of washing and an empty box where the clean stuff was.
When packing away, put the full box of washing inside the empty one.
The second idea is that with the parcel shelf removed and the seats folded forward, get a length of clothes rail from Homebase and cut it to size to fit in the clips that normally secure the parcel shelf and then use it to hang the clothes up.
We keep our clothes in the holdalls we take them in (2 small holdalls each for a week or 2, one each for short trips). We find it easier to fit 2 small bags into the car than one large one.
Dirty stuff goes into a small drawstring rubbish sack. On longer trips, when the holdalls are half empty, we condense the clean stuff into one holdall and put the dirty stuff into the other.
If I'm feeling organised, I even sort it into light and dark stuff, so it can go straight in the machine when we get back. There have been times when the first lot of laundry has been on the line before the car's unpacked.
Now we use camp beds, we use plastic storage boxes with lids for clothes as they slide under the beds which helps to keep the bedroom pods tidy.
Dirty clothing gets put in a big blue Ikea bag which is kept in the car boot.
Oh sorry Fran that did make me laugh.
We keep dirty washing in one of those pop up net bin things. Line it with a bag, and at the end of the stay chuck that in the car. Must admit I do like having cupboards to store stuff in now. Used to be bags or a folding cupboard before. Tried stacking crates once, but that didn't work.

I used to use those Ikea bags, but ditched them in favour of something that closes securely after inadvertently dropping my knickers in the street.
In the car :-) away from the camp fire, otherwise we wouldn't smell to great the next day. The clothes get moved from car to tent if we go out, I iron everything before I go so it's all hung up usually and kids stuff in a case.
