How do you folks dry your towells,swimming cossies etc?We used to hang them on the guy lines but i imagine this would be frowned on these days.Even on the inside of the tent there is nothing to hang things from.

I take a clothes airer camping.  It lies flat in the boot of the car, so doesn't take up much room.  It can be used outside or inside if it's raining.

I used to create an extra short line under the canopy, using the top pin of the front pole and an eyelet destined to bind the tent-door on, or sometimes the little hook for keeping the outside cover of the door-window. This way towels and waterproofs would be drying (slowly) under the canopy during rain.
When the kids were very young I used to create a line by using two poles of an old tent: guylines and top line. Very handy. Normally however there always will be one or more a trees/branches near, or sometime a fence, and i would create a line between top pin and tree or fence, or between this top pin and the rack on the trailer. Or between branches of the same tree.
There's always some way to attach one or more lines.

Lots of people still use the guylines.   Also drapped on windbreaks, the car, chairs etc. as well as a few people that have those portable rotary driers.

I normally only take a few washing line pegs. I just hang the odd towel or two from the tent canopy. That should do the trick if its only cozzies and towels your drying. Not too many at once, mind!

Most good canp sites have a tumble drier, but failing that go for a drive and hang it on your roof rack.
