The best commercial stake (but almost impossible to find) are twizel pegs.
These are plastic stakes that screw into the ground. I still have a few of
the larger size. I have only been able to find the smaller size
intermittently.

They are GREAT for the hard sod (end of logging roads, commercial
campground). For beaches you generally do not need because of drift logs
etc.

I do use them when storms push me into the woods.
