Nothing wrong with using lumber. It's easy, cheap and keep the tires from sinking in the grass and/or mud. Whenever I park on grass, I always have lumber under the tires.

Pavers run the risk of breaking under the load of the camper once the ground gets soft due to rain. Gravel is a more permanent solution, but then you'll have gravel to clean up once you move the camper away. Pouring concrete can get technical with zoning issues, building permits and such.

When done, you have firewood for your next camp out too.
