Click or move your mouse over the puzzle to see the answer.



Basic Ideas 



The numbers across the top and down the side tell you how many tents are in the respective row or column.
Each tree has one tent attached (either horizontally or vertically), and each tent is attached to only one tree. However, a tent may be next to more than one tree.
A tent can only be found horizontally or vertically next to the tree it's attached to.
Tents are never next to each other, neither vertically, horizontally, nor diagonally.
Any row / column with a 0 clue means that there are no tents in that row / column.

Any square that is not next to a tree cannot be a tent.

Therefore these squares can all be marked as grass.
