Default parking problem

I know this is going to sound stupid but this is really bothering me. I recently just got out of the service and I'm going to college right now so I'm living with family. Now since there is already two vehicles in the driveway I am forced to pretty much park in the yard. Now because of that there is alot of mud and stuff that gets on my tires and I'm really tried of cleaning it off. I have tried to convince them to put gravel in but they won't. Is there anything I can use to put down so I don't have to clean my truck every time i park it?

Are you around any paper mills? There is a paper mill in my town and every now and then they sell old machine felts that people use. Imagine a "carpet" that is the texture of like a burlap bag. and it comes in sizes about 20 by 40 feet. GREAT for parking vehicles, putting on the lawn to plow over in the winter, making cheap walls for a shed, ....

try getting a few pavers 16x16 or 24x24, you only need enough for the tires to roll on, what i did. Just run pavers from where you start backing in at the edge of the street and your yard, then just run them enough to get your truck on them !
