I was wondering what folks use to level campers on uneven ground. I've got a couple of old 2 by 6 boards, but they really only work in one and a half inch increments. There must be a better way.

I use the Lynx also but these look interesting and are on my wish list:

I use 2x10s which are about 2 ft long, I beveled one edge and glued 1/4 ext plywood to top surface, to prevent splitting. I also carry a number of 2x4s. Therefore I can use just the 2x10 for an 1 1/2 rise, or place the 2x10 as a ramp on the 2x4, thereby having a 1 1/2" ramp up to 3", place two 2x4s and your ramp goes from 1 1/2" to 4 1/2". I think you get the idea.
Without the plywood the ramps will eventual crack, they still crack with the plywood but don't fall apart.

We have these: https://www.amazon.c.../dp/B001V8LQ2G/
NOT recommended. The interlocking feature is nice, but the slots on the bottoms are thin enough that pea gravel sized rocks get stuck in them and then they don't interlock.

I use 2x6's , 2-20" long and 2-16" long. just stack them as needed with a 4" gap at the end to create steps. If I need more height a rock or chunk of firewood usually does the trick. I also have a couple of short 4x6s I use for my floor jack that could be used if there's nothing else around.

I try to use what's on site, rocks, firewood, branches etc. But also carry various lengths of 1" plywood cut 11" wide x 8,10,12 etc. I found that 2x s can split, at least the lumber I've used. And the ply makes a great jack base when off pavement and jack stand base at home on grass.
Always like to chock a wheel or two when using a tall leveler, I guess 'cause it's never really level Some folks carry a bubble level for precision, adjust tire pressure etc.
