Sand is a pretty good heat conductor. It’d probably be ok on hot nights, but not so much in winter.

it's a good thermal insulator! next time you are at the beach with hot sand, try digging down a few cm with your toes.

Good thing you can just cover it with a blanket or something in winter

		You need more insulation than you'd expect. The coldest campsites I've ever had have all been on sand.
