Why grass matters: comfort, setup, and a cooler micro‑climate
Natural lawn isn’t just a visual upgrade—it changes the way you experience daily life on holiday.
Softer underfoot, friendlier for families
- Grass adds a cushioned, barefoot‑friendly surface for kids to play and for everyone to relax.
- Individually hedged boundaries and tree shade pair with the lawn to create calm, garden‑like micro‑spaces.
Easier pegging and awning setup
- Pegs grip naturally in turf, helping you achieve firm tension on tents and awnings without power tools.
- Flat, regularly laid‑out pitches simplify alignment for larger units and awning rooms.
Naturally cooler in summer
- Grass reflects less heat than hard standings, helping the area around your unit feel cooler on warm days—especially welcome in family or dog areas.
Better splash and sound absorption
- Lawns absorb small spills and reduce splashback compared with hard surfaces.
- Turf also helps dampen everyday campsite noise for a more restful atmosphere.
Supports natural drainage
- Healthy turf and soil allow rainfall to percolate rather than pool on the surface, aiding post‑shower recovery of your pitch.

Practical tips: caring for your groundsheet and setup on grass
You can keep your pitch—and your kit—in top condition with a few simple habits.
Smart groundsheet choices
- Use a breathable or porous groundsheet under tents and awnings to help the grass breathe.
- Add a footprint (or protective underlay) slightly smaller than your tent base to reduce wear on both the turf and your tent floor.
Rotate, lift, and air
- Lift doormats and heavy rugs daily to prevent yellowing.
- If you’re staying several days, slightly reposition furniture and mats every 24–48 hours so the lawn recovers evenly.
Pegs, poles, and pressure
- Choose pegs suited to turf; longer pegs generally improve hold in lawn.
- Spread loads with plates or pads under poles, jack stands, or furniture legs to avoid creating divots.
- Use levelling ramps with a protective mat under caravan or motorhome wheels to reduce pressure on the grass.
Water and waste care
- Avoid letting grey water discharge onto the turf; use designated drainage points (available on selected pitches and service areas).
- Position outdoor kitchens and wash‑up areas where splashes won’t pool—grass prefers light, dispersed moisture.
Heat and flame awareness
- Campfires are permitted on pitches. Protect the lawn by using a heat‑insulating base under fire bowls or BBQs and keep embers off the turf.
- After cooking, allow equipment to cool fully before placing it on the grass.
Shade and sun management
- Reposition sun‑loungers and kids’ pools periodically to prevent prolonged shade or moisture in the same spot.
- Use awning tension that’s snug but not excessive; over‑tightening can create small cuts in turf where pegs and edges meet.
Night‑time safety
- Carry a torch after dark in less‑lit areas to navigate safely across lawn and avoid tripping on pegs and guy lines.
Choosing the right grass pitch for your setup
Match your camping style to the services you need—without giving up that natural lawn feel.
- Touring caravans and motorhomes: look for pitches with water and drainage if you plan to run an awning kitchen or stay longer.
- Remote workers or streamers: consider Comfort pitches with an individual wired internet cable; all pitches benefit from fibre‑optic infrastructure for high‑speed wired access.
- Families: hedged boundaries and shaded zones help define safe play spaces on the grass; car‑free areas add extra peace of mind.
- Youth groups: a dedicated zone is available, keeping group energy focused while preserving quieter corners for relaxation.
