CGEAR Original Sand-Free Outdoor Rug Camping Mat - Water-Resistant & Anti-Fade Material - Military-Grade - Reversible Design - Area Rug for Beach, RV, & Picnics - Travel Bag

We love this mat. We took it on our 16 day Grand Canyon rafting trip. It was awesome. We now use it outside our campervan. Sand comes off easily.

This product really helped keep our camper clean and extend our living space. I don't usually write reviews but this we were so impressed with that I wanted to be sure to write one. We bought the 12x12 and I wouldn't have bought smaller. Great product and sand goes through with some wiping with feet. Needs to be dry but then falls through. Great way to wipe feet off before stepping into camper. Barely needed to vacuum over the several days we used on the beach. Easy to out in bag too.

I researched a ton before I bought this rug/mat. We use two mats to spread in front of our camper door and it works great. At every campsite, I have people ask me for the link so they can replace their outdoor porch rugs that are difficult to fold and heavy when they get wet.PROS: Easy to fold away when traveling. When it rains, we fold it up and put it in plastic bin. It dries out very quickly since it's a plastic weave. Instead of buying one very large, we purchased two so it's easier to pack. We camp on dirt and sand, and it's freakin' great at keeping the stuff below the mat.Easy to clean - we hang it over fence and spray with hose. It's dry in less than an hour.CONS: bit expensive (but well worth it).

We use this "rug" under our dog's tent while camping. When our dog isn't with us, we use it in front of our tent so that we have a relatively clean & dry place to take off our shoes before getting inside the tent.It's heavy duty material, and I like the metal D-rings at the corners and sides so we can stake it down to keep it lying flat. Rain and small debris like sand and grit just fall through it because it's like a mesh material. I also like that it's reversible!Very easy to hose it off at home after a camping trip too. Comes with a good quality carrying bag to store it in. We have the 6'x6' size, and are considering buying the 12'x12' version to use when we go RV camping.A bit pricey perhaps, but you do get a quality item for your money so I highly recommend it.

Pretty good at shedding sand unless wet. Can get hot in direct sunlight (summer)

We just used this to our trip to Port Aransas beach, Texas. I freaking love this thing! Not knowing that this beach is more for the tailgaters than the sand loungers; we placed this out first to place out beach blankets onto, so that sand didn't make it's way to the towels. The sand did not make it's way to the towels but my girlfriend and I got washed out by a quick wave that made it's way to our spot. Everything was soaking wet and salt/sand water was on everything. We needed to lay everything out to dry. The water and sand that washed it's way up sifted through the mat and the mat was completely dry after laying it out for a few minutes. So we ended up using the mat to lay out all the rest of the belongings to dry in the sun and to help us get all the sand off of the towels, once dried so that we could wipe our bodies off, after coming in from the waters. I am so in love with this mat!After we had regrouped (got smart), we decided to bring our car onto the beach and parked it next to us, with our belongings in the trunk, right on the beach. I placed this mat right on the sand next to the rear bumper of our 4runner so that when people came up to the trunk of the car to get their, drinks, snacks, towels, change song, put on more sunscreen, etc, they were able to wipe off their feet of sand and dry off with a clean towel. This allowed us to keep a sand free barrier around the congregation area at the car! I noticed that everyone with us on the beach that day, loved the mat and found themselves sitting and standing on it rather than the shallow area of the water. It kept us all cleaner and gave us a break from the sticky sand when we needed it.Now the bad news. I got several globules of beach tar onto the mat and have to figure out a way to get it off of the mat. It looks like there are three layers of plastic weave that it got into that I need to clean off. I am going to try some WD-40 to work it's way off of the mat. I also noticed that the metal rings to stake the mat down got rusted. So I will need to clean them of the rust and protect them with a coat of clear coat of paint so that they do not rust in the future.

Got this to knock the dirt off of our shoes before entering our RV trailer. It works very well and when it rains, this dries very quickly compared to our other mat. If I needed another one, I would buy this brand.

Brilliant concept. Sand and dirt really does just fall through. No more constantly sweeping my campsite. Water falls through too - allowing it to dry quickly after rain. Love the bright colors.
