The 5 Best Outdoor RV Rugs

Posted on July 21, 2016May 17, 2019 by Brandon

Last modified on May 17th, 2019

There’s one big complaint I hear from people who go camping often.

It’s not the wild animals, the leaches or the ticks.

It’s the dirt!

Believe it or not but this is also my worst pet peeve, along with the mosquitoes and the hot temperatures.

This is why I strongly believe that outdoor RV rugs have to be chosen wisely.

Without getting the right camping rug, you are really going to struggle leaving dirt out of your campsite.

Without wasting anymore time, lets get right into them!

The Best Camping Rugs For The Great Outdoors

1. nuLOOM Berube Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug

Finish off your campsite with a touch of this indoor/outdoor natural rug from nuLOOM.

This rug is best used with bare feet, as the texture feeling on the bottom of your feet is amazing.

2. Safavieh Beige/Blue Indoor Outdoor Rug

Beige and Blue Indoor Outdoor Square Area Rug

The Beige/Blue rug makes a perfect choice for indoors and outdoors.

It was created specifically to resist mold, mildew, and of course the suns UV rays.

Not only can it go in your kitchen, next to the pool, laundry room or on the patio, a lot of campers are taking this rug on their outdoor adventures and getting great results.

The visual beige and blue stripes make this rug extremely appealing.

The Camco outdoor mat will protect your RV floors from dirt and mud.

4. Reversible Mats Brown/Beige RV Patio Mat

Reversible Mats Brown

The reversible brown and beige mat is the perfect solution for camping.

You can easily sweep dirt and sand off of it. And if it rains, it dries up surprisingly quick!

After each camping trip, hose it off with a little bit of soap, let it dry and store it away.

This one is also really comfortable to walk on in bare feet.

However, one downside is the lack of durability, and will fade overtime due to the suns rays.

Turn the faded side upside down to get more life out of it.

That said, I didn’t notice any deterioration or wear in the cooler/winter months.

Some more features include:

  • Breathable and 100% safe for grass.
  • Compacts down really small for easy storage.

Item Weight – 11 pounds

Open Size – 9’ x 18’

5. Reversible Blue/Black/Grey RV Patio Mat

My recommendation

Reversible BlueBlackGrey RV Patio Mat

This mat is extremely tough and durable.

I am so happy that it can withstand people and animals, and even our golf cart. Our dog was on it for the duration of the vacation and there were no tears whatsoever.

It is super lightweight, comfy to walk on, highly attractive, made out of mesh (so rain goes through) and dries very quickly – even underneath!

It hasn’t faded at all even after 2 years of using it.

You can shake off dirt and sand quickly and easily too!

This one is highly recommended for camping, picnicking and beach going.

Some more features include:

  • Breathable material so it doesn’t hurt grass
  • Very high UV-ray protection
  • Lightweight and compact for easy storage.

Item Weight – 11.3 pounds

Open size – 9′ x 18′

      Yes, I agree with you 100%. Outdoor rugs add that little “flavor” to the area they are in. Thanks for the comment, take care.

    Well I have never thought of having a rug when we go camping, it seems to take the camping out of camping. Why not just stay in a hotel with a rug. Mind you I hate camping at the best of times so everything but the kitchen sink comes with us, so why not a rug. Interesting article. Cheers 🙂

      It’s not really for ‘eye candy’ but more for keeping dirt and forest duff out of your RV and tents. It’s an overall good idea to keep your campsite tidy, because no one likes their sleeping area full of mud, lol. Thanks for the comment Tracy.

    For everyone who I know (maybe it all of us in Czech Republic) do not use rugs while camping. We leave our shoes in front of our tent or ideally in the small area under the tarpaulin. But we use the rugs in front of our house. I cannot even imagine the house without the rug.

      The rug is a great way to put down underneath you camping chairs. Good for eye candy and keeping dirt out of your tent and RV – Glad you learned something 🙂

    I agree with you Brandon, outdoor rugs are very important. I remember well, the last time I went for camping we brought all the dirt from outside and the repercussion of it was the viral infection many of us got when we came back home. These are some real good options to choose from and you top recommendation seems like a great one.

      Hey Hari, I appreciate the comment mate. Yes, RV rugs are really important to have and for the exact reason you just outlined, lol. Good luck for your next trip and I hope that virus didn’t put you off.

    A very interesting article with a good selection of outdoor rugs mentioned suitable for camping. As a keen camper myself in my youth where camping with wife and kids was the norm during school holidays I have to agree that you do need a good external rug to prevent dirt being dragged into the tent. My preference from your selection would have been the larger heavier rug for a family size tent, one that is not likely to be blown away!

      You have a good point James. People need to take into consideration, the weight and what the whether’s going to be like in the area they are camping in. Imagine coming back to your campsite after a long days hike, and finding out that your $40-60 rug just blew away, lol.

      Thanks for the comment,
      Brandon
