They tie the place together.
I use a big rug/mat that’s a woven plastic. I use it as a place to take off my shoes before I go inside that way I don’t have to sweep 10 times a day. It drains sand and water and is easy to sweep off.
I’ll use mine, more of a plastic fabric thing than a cloth rug, on gravel or grass sites. Helps with keeping the dirt down and it’s easier on the feet.
I have a 10×20 outdoor rug that allows water and sand to pass through. It’s really nice that the kids can hang out on it without getting shoes on. As for the inside, we have an entryway rug for you to take your shoes off on, and a runner after that that is nice on feet from the living room area. Both rugs are lightweight and easy to shake out, also I removed all the carpet from our motorhome, and replaced with LVP flooring g that’s easily swept and vacuumed.
I would never use rugs like the ones in your photo outside. I have an 8×10′ plastic “rug” that I use outside under my canopy tent. It’s easy to hose off and dries instantly. Inside my small trailer I have a 3×6′ runner because the linoleum was getting too dinged up. I vacuum that, and take it outside to beat the dirt out periodically. Once a season I’ll hose it down and scrub-brush it on a sunny day.
Outside we use what’s really a plastic woven rug to keep the mud down, and a door mat to wipe feet. Inside is one rag rug to catch the rest of the sand, dirt, stickers and burrs. We bring 2 rag rugs and shake/ swap as needed. The spare one shades the drinks crate.
I carry a rug when I’m camping on a gravel site because my dog hates the gravel.
