We use the same type, it was left over from our caravan days. It was quite large so we fold it double, it's lovely and soft under foot.

I have been thinking about changing my crunchy blue tarp floor (with a few picnic blankets for the kids to play on) for a nice soft breathable groundsheet. I do have a few queries though, are they as warm as a tarp as they wouln't keep drafts out and how do they cope in wet weather?

As yet I haven't been to a site that insisted upon the breathable sort so its not really an issue in that respect but I just don't like the crunchyness of a tarp and by the time I buy another couple of picnic blanets I could have almost bought a goundsheet as the 2nds on that site (linked above) certainly make it more affordable.

you could always do what we do...put a groundsheet/tarp down first then the breathable on top...nice an warm an soft and mud and water free...lol....just a thought!..

I've always put off this as I too have had plenty of wet pitches.  We are booked on a site in the New Forest in August that insists on them, so I guess we'll need to take the plunge.

Hi, we are staying at Red Shoot Camping Park.  The site says Aerotex groundsheets only for awnings.

Thanks for that!  Just goes to prove that the reviews aren't always right, they seemed good on here.  Have paid a non-returnable deposit now, so stuck.  Only 5 nights though so we'll give it a go.
