We've done it, using proper hardstanding pegs, and it's OK if the hardstanding is well made. We used a site once where the hardstanding was rubbish - just compacted crush and run type of thing made of too large stones, so nearly every peg hit something solid and bent.

You may well find that when you arrive they will offer you a grass pitch anyway - we've had the same problem when booking, but when you turn up with a TT they prefer to put a caravan or motorhome on the hardstanding and move the TT onto grass.

Just to clarify - the size of the pitch will mean that you can't peg into the grass all the way round. If you are on hardstanding you will need to peg at least some of your outfit into it.

Totally agree with the above posting - you need to contact the site direct and ask them what their hardstanding is made from.

You should be OK on gravel with a TT but you will need rock pegs and you may need extra groundsheets for the awning area as the gravel will be uncomfortable to walk on.
