I'm putting together a similar pack-in camp and was wondering the same thing...

The small tent you see under the tarp in my first picture is more than 10 years old and befor that I used only a tarp (pre sil nylon).

Backpacked and hunted the Mountains here in CO for more than 30 years. Never had a problem with critters, I did have a yearling Bear cub try to share my breakfast once, but he figured out what I was and he left a little disapointed.

I do keep my food in a small duffel hanging in a tree a little ways from camp. The set up I used in the picture is pretty comfortable.

I made my own tarp from silnylon fabric purchased from owareusa.com

You can buy them premade from them or many other places. Do a search for "silnylon tarp"

Part of the allure of tarp camping is less separation from the natural environment. Critters don't bug me except skeeters.

Although I did have a bee set up camp under my tarp this year and when I knelt on him (accidentally) he stung me.

Gotta love the hammock!
I like the minimalist tarp setup as well. I use a similar setup on canoe trips, but like your mini tent under the "big top". All good camps on view.

I wish I had horses or better yet a mule. The older I get the more I hate killing elk LOL
