Many campgrounds do not allow "carpet grass" or "astro-turf" as they don't allow the grass under the mat to breathe, they hold water and kill the grass in a couple of days. The plastic tube woven mats allow water to pass through, don't hold sand/dirt, dry much faster, are lighter (even when wet) and don't kill the grass. Most campgrounds will allow this type of mat to be used, although picking it up every couple of days to shake the sand and bugs off and leaving it off the grass for a couple of hours may help keep the campsite in good condition for the next campers.....
WalMart has 9x12 mats for about $50, but most RV dealerships have 7x16 or 8x16 mats for around $80. They help define the awning area a little better. Don't forget the awning stakes (actually 12" nails) to hold it in place as they will blow around with a stiff wind.
