yes, but that doesn't prelcude a slight slope. I wouldn't be surprised if the slope was deliberately added when the campsite was built. (you probably know that part of camping is laying down on the ground to determine the slope and adjusting the tent and where your head is accordingly.... I'm surprised I remembered that little tidbit...)
For me, Snowy will always be Tintin's dog, and I wonder whether Jiro Taniguchi also had him in mind. My guess is that he read the Tintin books, as an early instance of graphic novels. I now want to read "The Walking Man."
Your family is lucky to have you savoring each moment of family-hood! I wasn't raised on Tintin - but my husband was & can't understand why folks here renamed Milou as Snowy
I have only a passing knowledge of Tintin since, for some reason, I never read his adventures as a child. But yes, some of these strange literary transitions from country to country don't always make sense.
I suspect that good campsites always have a bit of a slope because it's necessary in case it rains.
There's gotta be at least enough flat, non-rocky or rooted space for a tent though, otherwise it's not much of a campsite.

Now that you mention it, I have little doubt that he did have Tintin's dog in mind!
'flaneuristic' - thanks for teaching me a new word!
Not an officially sanctioned version of flaneuer, but 🤷♂️ language evolved.
