Who’d have thought that something so simple could have so many different uses? Of course, when camping in a caravan, you probably wouldn’t give much thought to a camping mat. After all, why would you need one when sleeping inside on cosy beds? Well, a camping mat isn’t necessarily for sleeping on (however, you could definitely use it for that). But what are their uses? Let’s have a look and take you through a few scenarios, and then you’ll definitely want to get your hands on one of your own!
Create an outdoor space
The whole point of caravan camping is to enjoy the great outdoors, with a little bit of home. Naturally, you want a comfortable space to enjoy your evenings. However, you still need to embrace a little bit of nature. So, how does a caravan camping mat come into it? Well, first of all, it can be laid down just outside the caravan, to create a nice outdoors space. This can be complimented with an awning, attached to the side of the caravan. So, you can shelter yourself from the sun if you want a little respite, whilst still feeling the cool breeze on your face.
This outdoor space can be used in the evenings, with a few cold beers and some food, sat around a table and some chairs. It’s even a great place to take your shoes and thongs off, so as not to drag sand and dirt into caravan. It’s an easy solution to keep the place clean and free of irritants.
Sleep under the stars
Of course, this is very weather dependent and isn’t always an option. However, having a nice big caravan mat to lie down on, with your sleeping mats and bags, can be perfect for creating a lovely space to sleep out under the stars on. You don’t have to do it every night of course, not when you have perfectly good beds inside the caravan. However, there’s nothing quite as special, as falling asleep under a blanket of a thousand diamonds, silently shining over you. Bliss!
Easier to spot
It might sound silly, but if you’re staying in a large caravan park with hundreds of other identical units, then it’s always handy having something that can easily differentiate yours from other peoples, especially if you’re wondering home a little tipsy on a Saturday night! As such, a caravan camping mat with an outdoor area set up will be easy to spot straight away. Simple.
Let the grass breathe
Another benefit of using a caravan camping mat is that they’re designed to let the grass breathe underneath. So, these mats can be left down for long periods of time without killing the grass underneath. The porous nature of the mats keeps a steady flow of oxygen going through, so you don’t have to feel bad about laying your mat down and leaving a nasty dead patch in your wake!
They’re affordable
I suppose the biggest benefit of all is the fact that a caravan camping mat costs next to nothing, especially given how much use you’ll get out of it. Simply head over to affordable camping mats, and you’ll find a grand selection at the most competitive prices. The perfect addition to your caravan camping spot. You’ll never look back!
