Im due to go camping at the end of july and have just found out the campsite we are using ( Sandyballs ------ New Forest ) use a gravel hard standing area for the tent. I need to purchase some gravel tent pegs and need any advise anyone can give on where to purchase these and how much is reasonable to pay. Just also read i can hire them from the site but does not say how much. I have a Gelert Satallite 6 tent 2004.
Hi Darren - Most camping and caravanning shops sell "hard ground pegs". I bought a boxed set for about £8 - manufactured by Blue Diamond. I've also seen them loose 40p each or thereabouts. They look like big nails (about 8" long) with a plastic bit at the top for your guy rope to go round.
watch your ground shhet on gravel went to one last year using so called gravel bloody great lumps of concrete seemed like didnt stop went on to another site/seems to be a lot of sites going for the caravaners only at mo and if they say tents dont realy think they want us.

Follow the link below for Tent Videos Online from Completeoutdoors.co.uk - the one in the middle at the bottom of this page.In their tents & accessories section they have the pegs. However I'm sure any decent camping store will have them too.
