As I've said elsewhere, we have found the Kampa Easitread an excellent groundsheet. We have used it on grass and hardstandings. I have to say if it's a hardstanding I won't use it if the hardcore contains very large stones. Hope this helps.
P.S. The Kampa Easitread is a closeweave breatheable groundsheet, but we've never had a problem with water/damp. We walk on it without shoes on. Perhaps we are over fussy about the sites we use - we only ever use sites that are about the same quality of the CC sites, so the ground tends to be fairly good. ??
Just my opinion, but personally I wouldn't put a goundsheet down to put yet anonther one on top. If the idea is to keep the top one clean, you still have the bottom one to clean. For some reason, we find that very little sticks to the bottom of our Easytread. Absolutely nothing like the stuff we used to get stuck to those brown non-breathable groundsheets we all used to use years ago - they killed the grass and were absolutely revolting ti get up at the end of the stay on site. Just my opinion.

Hi DSB. We caravan regularly in the Scottish Highlands & want to be able to sleep in the awning too so it's important the g/s is actually waterproof.
This is a C&CC site ! That said there are better surfaced pitches pitches on this same campsite - it's just that we much prefer the ones in the woods which are away from the main site - tbh Iwe don't much like `proper' campsites at all really !!!
We're `wildcampers' at heart I guess. The downside is it wrecks your groundsheets...
