Here's our set up.

And after a week, the grass under that setup will be completely dead, eventually leading to a nice mud hole for the next campers to deal with. That is exactly why parks don't allow pens and such. It isn't always about the dogs, it what the setup does to the park. (see previous post about driving the anchors to hold another type of fence)

Good grief. On the ground is a patio mat - the same thing that a gazillion campers use. We camp at the beach, so it's sand with patchy grass. Our set up has never killed the grass or done any damage. If it did, I wouldn't use it. You can clearly see if grass has been killed when you move something. It might be different if it were used on a nice manicured lawn, but I've never used it in that type of environment.

I don't know why some people even bother camping. They complain about dogs, they complain about kids, they complain about generators running, they complain about noise, they complain about smoke, and on and on. It's called living. People don't go camping to sit inside their RV and be quiet all weekend. They go to enjoy the outdoors.
