Clean the area around your spot
Clean the area where you plan to pitch your tent. Keep an eye out for sharp rocks or twigs as those can damage the base of your tent. You can either remove them or move your tent to a better location.
It’s also a good practice to be aware of the area surrounding your tent. If you notice a lot of fallen branches or twigs, it could be a sign that the trees nearby shed a lot.
Another important thing to note is water. Setting up a tent next to a puddle of water can attract bugs and flies, which is never pleasant.
It can also mean that the area tends to flood up whenever it rains. Therefore, it might be better to pitch your tent elsewhere.
