How about a ground anchor ? It's what we use to tie down planes, and what
utilities use for anchors for the cables that stabilize power poles.
Homey, etc. sell them - a long steel rod with an eye on the top and a disk
bent into a helical shape to serve as an auger, welded near the botton.
Just screw it into the ground. And hope the soil isn't too rocky - I just
removed one today, that I had to dig in most of the way 5 years ago when I
installed it, because of a few huge rocks under ground.
