Hello, I am new to UK campsite but not to touring with a caravan, we are about to start a seasonal pitch next year and so need some advice which I am sure is here.

We intend to buy a full awning suitable for seasonal use; my question is about which flooring material is ok?

I am drawn to the interlocking closed cell tiles often sold by Aldi but available elswhere too. The base material for the awning is hard with light gravel so there is no consideration for grass here.

The 'Aldi style' tiles also have uniform holes throughout, and it is this feature that I am interested. We expect to use chair tables etc in the awning and wonder just how well these 'holes' will work, will they break up or catch and tear as chairs are moved?

I gather that there are some similar tiles using the same material but they have a smooth or textured finish.

Opinions from users of either would be most welcome, thanks

Thank you for your great replies, I think I'm more convinced to go with the smooth or texture tile, I think they are called EVA tiles, they have uses for Gymnasium or light workshop use.

Now I need to ask a supplementry question, best Awmning carpet???

Thanks for being a great help, much appreciated

Hi I've ordered the charcoal grey/black eva tiles with the chequer plate pattern from the link below, good price and the the exact type available through Amazon. They were able to give me a price for the actual square metres that I needed.

Hope this may be of help, as others have said I'm going to put a waterproof membrane beneath the tiles and a Bolon carpet on top

Thanks again for the help received
