didnt tear the groundsheet or anything though

thread about all weather pitches HERE both Jakers and Brookie are site owners, and they both have AWP.

Hello

Been asked to post on this thread, so here I am!

We installed 10 AWPs last season - we still have some grassed pitches to camp on, our customers apart from initial reluctance seem to head straight for them.  Ours are a small rounded gravel base surrounded by grass, we have not compacted them which makes them kinda squishy - so like wet grass really !!  We say for additional comfort folks might like to bring along an extra tarpauline to put down but certainly at times of heavy rain these pitches are ever so popular.  It also means that when you arrive onsite you are not faced with a muddy pitch from the folks that left before you.

The trouble seems to be that AWPs vary in standard from site to site so what we have on ours isn't necessarily what others have on theirs, it;s not like a hardstand as by a hard stands very nature it is compacted and thus IMO extremely uncomfortable.

We have more info on our AWPs on our website and some of our customers have review them on UKCS reviews of our site.

We spent lots of time researching the ideal material to use including what they put down for play areas cost obviously is a major factor but also thinks like the play bark you can get actually rots and stinks once camped on a few times.

Hope this helps
