Campsite Configuration/Setup????

I have been RV camping for almost 15 years, but still haven't found a consistent way to arrange or configure my "stuff"

Here's a photoshop diagram of how I arranged my site last time:


How do you guys set up your stuff?

  • We have a 18 x 9 mat. We have one that does not kill the grass. A lot of places will only allow a mat that is easy on the grass.

    Our set up goes...we put a small 3 x 6 white fold up table set at a low height against the trailer, where your chairs are. We use it like a coffee table and place our chairs on each side, angled. Another white fold up table is where you put your picnic table. We usually cook away from the awning, we don't want to get it dirty. We don't leave anything out, even the BBQ gets put away after it is cooled. Habit from camping in bear country.
  • The first thing that wouldn't work at most parks is the big rug on the grass. If you are there for a couple of days, that is going to leave nothing but dead grass for all of us who arrive after you leave. Rugs and mats on grass is frowned on most places. Even if there isn't a rule against it, it sure makes for a less pleasant experience for the next people.
