That way you turn any spot into an inviting, clean and comfortable living space.

Take a camping outdoor rug on holiday

A camping outdoor rug can be used in all sorts of ways. Lay a camping outdoor rug in your caravan, motorhome or tent. A camping outdoor rug is ideal as a rug for the porch, because it will not go mouldy from damp. The camping rug can withstand all kinds of weather conditions and is easy to clean. That means it can stay down all year round! The outdoor rugs feel soft, which also makes them great as a play mat for any little travelling companions! An extra bonus: many camping rugs are reversible (two designs in one) and thanks to their low weight they are just as easy to take to the beach or park.

A camping rug for extra comfort

Curious about how to make your camping adventures even more comfortable? Here are a few convincing reasons why a camping rug is a valuable addition to your camping kit! First of all, you can place a camping rug both in front of and inside the tent, creating a cosy living space both inside and outside the tent. Using a camping outdoor rug inside the tent? Then you enjoy a comfortable surface without any bumps in the grass or damp. Place a camping rug in front of the tent and you keep dirt out of the tent. Has some dirt still managed to get in? Just give it a shake and your camping rug is as good as new! And of course you can always use your camping rug as a picnic blanket. Simply roll it up and roll it out again at your favourite picnic spot!

• Soft and insulating: nicer on bare feet and less cold rising from the ground.
• A neat look: your seating area under the awning instantly looks tidy and complete.
• Practical: sand and dirt stay outside the caravan or motorhome.
• Flexible: use it as a picnic or beach rug too.

A camping rug that is easy to maintain

A camping rug usually falls under recycled, polypropylene or plastic outdoor rugs. Plastic is water-repellent, hard-wearing and easy to keep clean. This makes a camping rug perfect for use while camping. Even when the weather is against you. How do you clean a camping rug?

• Shake or beat the rug to remove sand and leaves. A soft broom works well too.
• Stains? Use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush or sponge.
• Rinse with the garden hose and let the rug dry flat in the sun or hang it out for a while.
• Roll it up dry and store it somewhere airy. Folding it while wet can cause creases or odours.

A tip from experience: outdoors, always choose a water-permeable, more coarsely woven structure. It feels sturdy, rinses clean easily and is kinder to the grass beneath your rug.

Which size and shape of camping rug should you choose?

The right size makes the difference between “not quite” and a wonderful, practical outdoor spot. When choosing, take into account the width of the awning, walkways and the number of seats.

Rules of thumb for a camping rug:

• Under the awning or in the porch: leave 10–15 cm free all round, so it looks calm and the edge stays clean.
• Seating set for 4: choose a large camping outdoor rug (e.g. around 200×290 cm or larger) so the table and chairs stand firmly.
• Travelling light or in a campervan: a foldable rug or a narrower size is handier and lighter.
• Round table? A round rug fits nicely and gives a playful, spacious look.

Choosing the material for your camping rug

For camping we recommend rugs made of polypropylene or recycled plastic. Why does that work so well – and what should you look out for?

Advantages: lightweight, colourfast, water- and UV-resistant, quick-drying and easy to clean. Drawback: in strong winds it is best to secure it with pegs through the loops or with the weight of furniture; in full sun the surface can feel warm. Outdoors, choose an open, water-permeable weave. That is nicer to use and better for the ground underneath.

Want to make a sustainable choice? More and more rugs are made from recycled plastic. That way you combine practical use with a smaller footprint – exactly the balance we value at Volero.

A colourful camping outdoor rug

Do you love outdoor rugs with plenty of colours and patterns? Then the boho outdoor rugs are exactly what you are looking for!

A boho outdoor rug is decorated with beautiful patterns and mandalas, giving the outdoor rug a cheerful look. Thanks to the expressive and colourful style of the boho outdoor rugs, these rugs are easy to combine with your favourite interior style! Prefer something calmer? Black-and-white graphics go with everything and instantly look well put together. Terracotta and sand tones bring warmth and pair beautifully with nature and wood.

Smart and safe use on the road

Secure your camping rug with loops and pegs or a heavier table leg so it does not blow away. Do not leave the rug on fresh grass for too long in extreme heat; lift the rug now and then so the ground can breathe. Avoid sharp objects and open flames near plastic rugs – that way your outdoor rug stays caravan- and motorhome-proof for many seasons.
