Tent platform
A tent platform is a floor for the purpose of pitching one or more tents upon. Typically, it is a wooden deck near a hiking trail that provides the hikers a clean and even place to sleep. It may also prevent the campers from trampling down the surrounding vegetation. Many campsites have tent platforms.[1][2] Mountaineers sometimes build tent platforms in their base camps from materials such as pebble or snow.
