BC provincial parks have a sandy, gravelly pad, well compacted. It is either too hard to put pegs into, or else too loose once a peg has been planted. Plastic pegs break when hammered in, and metal ones either bend or else pull out once installed. The best I have found is to use wood. Split firewood into kindling size chunks, 3/4" or so. They seem to have enough strength to penetrate the hard gravel, and enough area to hold even once the gravel is loosened. And you don't care if one breaks. They go into the edges of the pad better than the centre, where the RV's have compacted the gravel the most. You don't have that problem, but others might.
