Rule of thumb

The more you take the less you go,

So if you want to be a frequent camper,  keep it quick and keep it simple.

Scrunchkins,
These "quick overnighters"..... Are they worth it? As in, do you use sites that allow you to arrive before noon, and leave later in the day/evening, rather than expecting you to be gone by noon? And more to the point, do you actually take advantage of these "more generous" sites?

I'd love to just go off for one night, but it's such a lot of faffing about just to set up, sit and chill for a few hours, then bed, and pack up again next morning. And I seriously doubt we are ready to go minimalist, just yet!!

I think they're worth it Mucker and I know the kids do. I don't always go for sites that allow you on early or stay later. Sometimes we pack up straight after breakfast but for the kids the excitement of setting up and sleeping in the tent is enough for now.

I must admit to struggling to go minimalist at first but now I can be packed and on the road in 15 minutes.
