Be sure to have lots of water in the summer. Also, bring spray or nets for bugs. If you would like just bringing a hammock to sleep in may be more comfortable than a whole tent. I would also recommend packing as light as possible and just sleeping on the mats without a sleeping bag.

In the summer, I find it fairly important to make sure to bring some insect repellent. I usually go with the DEET type.
