I've seen people tear open a foot on tent stakes. A late night bathroom trip can be hazardous. I never walk barefoot in a campsite. That's jjust dumb. Some people will wear flip flops which are no better than barefoot if you jam a toe against a sharp object. I'm cringing just thinking what rebar could do to a foot.
You should pack a heavy hammer (5 lb sledge would be perfect) to bury your stakes deep, and a roll of duct tape. After you drive the stakes wrap duct tape around the exposed ends so no one can get cut on them.

Better safe than sorry.
