Use a Door Mat

One of our pet peeves is tracking dirt and debris inside our tents. We like ‘clean’ camping. One way to help keep your tent clean is to place a door mat outside the tent door – or doors if you’re using multiple entrances.

If you’re looking for a door mat specific for your tent, find one that allows water to flow through it so your mat doesn’t become a soggy mess in wet weather.

In a pinch, if you forget your door mat, you can use floor mats from your vehicles as a tent door mat. Just remember to clean your floor mats after you return home :)

A recommendation from customer Mike T in Washington: when camping in sandy areas (desert, beach, etc.) is to use a 'sand mat' from CGear as your tent door mat. These mats let the sand and dirt fall through, and the top stays clean. He swears by it and says it helps keep his tent sand-free. (CGear mat pictured below: find it on Amazon)
