Been looking at camp rugs lately...
Went to the local walmart, found their 9x12 RV mat for $50. One thing that struck me was its material. 9lbs of polypropylene. I dont like the idea that after a few years it might be 9lbs of just useless plastic. How many years are people averaging out of their mats? The CGear sand free mat does look interesting.

I have two I got off one of the big RV websites several years ago really cheap. I have used them all this time now and during several really muddy trips and they still look like the day I bought them. They just don't stain at all and they don't absorb water and get heavy. I have had them totally mud covered pick them up to pack and mud does not cling to them. Usually I get them home and what little mud is still there just sweeps off. I can't remember ever having to hose them down.

I like the idea but I don't know how well I'd like picking hay out of my burb for the next few weeks after. Lol
Hay is waaaaay easier to clean up than mud from the interior.

We've used one for years. The wind won't budge them.
Check out cgear. Link below. Super nice quality and works great.

I knew I was to be camping at a place with rocks (sharp ones) so I went to a thrift store and got a 6x9 rug to go under my OZ tent. Kept the bottom of the tent free of holes. For $10 it was worth it to save my $900 tent. I occasionally take it if I think there will be questionable surfaces to pitch my tent on, insulates as well.

I think he is talking about these style rugs used by the RV camper crowd which are good also.

i use the rv mats now.i gave up trying to combat muddy messes around my campsite due to mud by using carpets or tarps.it's a lost cause for me anyway.after the rain subsides i just toss the mat into the lake/river and wash it off and start all over. anything else was either too heavy or didn't dry very fast.at least the rv mats don't hold water and dirt /pine needles are easily swept up

I have always staked down a cheap tarp. If it gets a hole, I toss it and get another cheap tarp.
