The tent peg has a straight elongated body and a short angularly directed branch near the upper end thereof, adapted to be set to the vertical to be inserted within and attached to a tubular tent post to prevent its horizontal and vertical displacement. The tent peg is further provided with means to resist its pulling off the ground. These means include teeth on the body and the fact that in one embodiment of the peg, the body has a V-shape cross-section tapering towards its ground-engaging pointed end, whereby trapping earth, which resists pulling. The peg is provided with means for attaching tent cords, tent metal eyelets to further maintain the tent in erected position. The peg is also provided with means to interconnect it with another peg driven at an angle forming a V-shape arrangement within the ground to further resist pulling the peg off the ground.
