Choosing the Right Tent Pegs for Your Campsite

Not all tent pegs do the same job. The one you choose can shape your whole camping experience. It depends on your tent, the ground and where you’re setting up. Here's what to look for and how each peg is designed to perform.

Screw in pegs are designed for soft ground or beach sand. They twist in with ease and give strong holding power where standard pegs might slip.

Steel pegs are solid all-rounders. They’re built to handle tough or rocky ground and work well across most Aussie campsites.

Plastic pegs are light, rust-free, and easy to carry. They’re a good match for softer soil and short trips where weight matters.

Pegs are designed in different lengths and shapes to suit the job. Longer ones offer better holding power in soft soil. Shorter pegs are fine for firm ground. Some come with flat heads, others are hooked. Just pick what works best with your ropes or straps. If you’re camping at night, glow pegs can help you steer clear of tripping hazards.

Common questions about tent Pegs

When do you need screw in tent pegs?

Screw in pegs are best when you're camping on sand, soft soil, or loose ground. They twist in like a corkscrew and grip better than standard pegs. If your regular pegs keep pulling out or shifting, that’s your sign to switch to screw ins.

What types of tent pegs suit different campsites?

Steel pegs are strong and work in most Aussie conditions, including rocky or hard packed ground. Screw in pegs are better for beach camping or loose dirt. Plastic pegs are light, rust free and good for quick setups in softer soil.

How do you know what size tent peg to use?

Short pegs, around 15 to 20 centimetres, work well for small tents or firm ground. Go longer, up to 30 centimetres or more, for soft ground or windy weather. If you’re not sure what the campsite will be like, bring a mix so you’re ready for anything.
