I think your paver idea is a good one. I suspect most of us park on concrete year round, and somehow we get away with that.
Advantages include, keeping your tires out of the mud when it rains, sitting a little above grade for better drainage, a little better base to prevent sinking into the earth. And a small thing, but sitting some pavers exactly where you want the rig will give you a target every time you park it. You said covered parking. Not sure if that keeps rain out, but if it does, wet dirt won't happen.
Wood would be okay too, but I don't like the idea of pressure treated chemicals under my tires long term, and anything else will rot out pretty fast sitting on grade. Redwood could last, if you can find some good heartwood, but that gets more difficult to find.
