Kunstgras Tent Peg Tips: Protect Your Awning Strip and Enjoy a Secure Set-Up

If you want a clean, comfortable awning area without sand or mud, kunstgras makes a real difference. At Camping De Reebok, every pitch includes a 5 metre wide by 4 metre deep artificial-grass strip under the awning or canopy area, with the caravan or camper placed behind it. That gives you a practical, tidy base for outdoor living — and it also means your set-up deserves a little extra care.

This guide explains how to approach your kunstgras awning area thoughtfully, so you can enjoy a secure set-up while helping keep the surface in good condition. You will also find practical tips for organising your pitch, making the most of the facilities, and settling in smoothly on this family-oriented campsite near Garderen.

What is the kunstgras area at Camping De Reebok?

At Camping De Reebok, all pitches are equipped with kunstgras in the awning area. The artificial-grass section measures 5 metres wide and 4 metres deep. Guests place their caravan or camper behind the kunstgras, creating an outdoor area designed to stay cleaner and more comfortable in everyday use.

In short:

That layout is especially useful when you want a neat place to sit, cook, relax, or supervise children playing nearby.

Why kunstgras matters for your camping comfort

A well-prepared camping pitch can shape your whole holiday experience. Artificial grass creates a more stable and pleasant surface underfoot than a bare patch that quickly turns dusty or muddy with regular use.

At Camping De Reebok, this fits naturally with the wider experience of the site. The campsite is set out as one large, open grass field surrounded by planting, with a clear view across the field. Families often value this kind of layout because it supports visibility and a relaxed atmosphere, especially when children are moving between the pitch and the play facilities.

The kunstgras strip adds practical comfort in several ways:

Cleaner outdoor living

Because the awning area is set on artificial grass, it is easier to keep the space tidy. Shoes, chairs, and camping gear are less likely to carry dirt into your caravan or camper.

More comfortable daily use

Your awning area often becomes the centre of camping life. It is where people eat, read, play games, and gather in the evening. A defined strip under the awning helps make that space feel more usable from the moment you arrive.

A more organised pitch

With the caravan or camper placed behind the strip, the layout encourages a clear division between the vehicle and the living area. That can make setting up simpler and make the pitch feel more spacious.

How to protect the kunstgras when setting up your awning

The key principle is simple: aim for a stable set-up without unnecessary strain on the artificial grass. Artificial grass is durable, but like any shared camping surface, it benefits from careful use.

1. Plan your layout before you start

Before unpacking everything, take a moment to look at the position of:

A short planning step can help you avoid repositioning equipment repeatedly on the kunstgras.

2. Keep the awning aligned with the strip

Because the artificial-grass area is designed specifically for the awning or canopy, it helps to keep your set-up neatly within that space where possible. A tidy footprint usually creates safer walking paths and reduces wear from constant movement at the edges.

3. Avoid unnecessary disturbance

When working with pegs, guy lines, or awning supports, careful handling matters. In general camping practice, repeated pulling, dragging, or repositioning can place more stress on any surface. A measured approach helps preserve the neat finish of the kunstgras area.

4. Distribute pressure thoughtfully

Awning furniture, storage boxes, and cooking equipment often stay in one place for long periods. Try to arrange heavier items in a way that keeps the area functional and comfortable to move around. Good organisation supports both stability and surface care.

5. Keep the area free from excess sand and debris

One of the main benefits of the kunstgras strip is that it helps avoid sand and mud in the awning area. You can support that benefit by brushing off footwear, keeping gear organised, and storing loose outdoor items neatly.

Quick answer: how can you help protect the kunstgras?

Here is the short version for easy reference:

  1. Position your caravan or camper behind the kunstgras strip
  2. Set up your awning within the 5 x 4 metre area where possible
  3. Handle pegs, supports, and lines carefully
  4. Avoid repeatedly moving heavy equipment across the surface
  5. Keep the area clean and organised throughout your stay

These small steps help you enjoy the benefit of the surface while keeping it pleasant for the next guest too.
