We camped on an all weather gravel pitch recently nr Tavistock in Devon. The campsite provided a non woven polyester building matting called Terram 4000 (i think). This comes in huge rolls and more than wide enough for our Monty. It was perfect. It evened out all the stones (apart from one Grrrrr!) so much so that you did not notice that you were not on grass.

When it came to packing away it was a wet and drizzly day. Being on the all weather was fine. No mud. No worms. No dead grass. No putrid smell. Footprint was nice and clean too. If they offer Terram 4000 then I would not hesitate to camp on a similar pitch again.

We positioned the tent so that the front opening was 1 foot awat from the grass so that as soon as you stood outside it was just a normal camping experience. We had to use rock pegs as it was a proper hardcore base.

We moved onto a pea shingle pitch from a very muddy grass one at the site we were at in Woolacombe.  It was fantastic and we would book one every time now if they were available.

We put our tent with SIG and footprint groundsheet down and we have carpet.  I felt like my feet were being constantly massaged as I walked round the tent!

Hi Tracey

We have stayed on the all weather pitch in our frame tent at fforest fields same time as 3 madboyz and we put a tarpaulin down then our groundsheet and our carpets that we used(just for luxury lol) and had no problems at all.We did not need rock pegs just used our normal tent pegs.

We may be going again next week for a week.

cheers
