tent pad

Flat camping surface

A tent pad is a prepared, level surface for pitching a tent, typically found at established campsites.

Tent pads may be made of gravel, wooden planking, or packed earth, providing drainage and protection from uneven ground: Each campsite has a fire ring and a tent pad.

They prevent damage to vegetation from repeated use.
