Hardstanding and ground reinforcement suppliers for UK campsites

Grass pitches turn to mud in a wet spring, and motorhomes get stuck. Hardstanding, or grass reinforcement that lets the grass grow through, keeps pitches usable for more of the year and can help you open earlier and close later.

The suppliers here make plastic grids, mesh and other ground reinforcement, and some supply bases for static units and storage. Grids filled with gravel or grass are often cheaper than concrete or tarmac, and let rainwater drain away.

Before you choose, ask:

• What weight is it rated for: cars, motorhomes, or heavier vehicles?
• Can it be filled with grass, or gravel only, and how is it laid?
• How long does it last, and how do I repair a damaged section?
• Do you have photos of it on a campsite after a winter?

New hardstanding can need planning permission, or count towards an application, so check with your council before you lay it.
