Hey everyone. New to camping. Young family just starting out. 5 yr old and a 1 yr old.

I have been looking at different options for flooring - as we are going to do some dessert camping this summer (Texas! ).

I do have a tarp footprint for my tent already for underneath it - and I also have plenty of foam pads from my home gym I can pack up. My question is - can I put the footprint down then put those foam pads on that tarp and then the tent in top of all that? Anyone tried that method?

I’d just rather not have those pads sliding around inside the tent but there definitely might be some things I’m not considering!
