When I used to go camping:

tent = tienda de campaña

stake = poste

pole = vara

rain guard = '''? Rain cover? Raincoat?

A rain proof tent is una "tienda de campaña impermeable".

"Rain guard" can refer either to waterproofing spray for a tent, or to a separate piece that goes over the tent, as in the picture attached. Don't know what you call it in Spanish, either way. Rebecca, it would help if you were more specific. If you post your attempt at the explanation, you can get help with proofreading it.

Did you try looking any of them up?

tent, tent pole SpanishDict dictionary

alternate word for tent peg (stake)

You probably have to use an idiom or circumlocution to express a tent rain cover as that is basically what the word tent means(to cover with something to protect it from the rain.)

definition:
..to cover with or as if with a tent: In winter the tennis courts are tented in plastic.
