I have used a hammock quite extensively in Europe, especially in Greece, France, Italy and Spain. Its very rare you can't find some woodland somewhere. Occasionally I have used a tarp. Once on a climbing trip it was a wash out and I spent three days lying in a hammock under a tarp listening to the rain, and reading a book. I was perfectly warm and happy and very glad not to be in the cramped tent with my friends.
When I wake up I reach down and light the stove and then snooze while the coffee brews. Drink the coffee in bed and then wake up and roll up the sleeping arrangements in seconds. and I;m ready to go. . .
A good number of campsites have trees, lamp posts, etc. I have hung it on a ferry, on a rock face (using climbing protection) and between chimney pots on the roof of my house.
One of the most fun options is to find some woods near the coast, and climb high up a tree and hang your hammock between branches. Fantastic views!!!
