For really loose gravel a snowanchor is the best bet, as used in snow! You can buy ready-made but aluminium or steel angles work OK, say 2-3" wide and a foot, or so, long. Sharpen one end and make two holes halfway up the thing and attach a short wire loop through the holes! Now you either attach a carabiner, or tie the tent lines directly, to the wire loops! The wire prevents chafing, by the way!
