I took my second son when he was 4 months old and we all loved it!
He had an inflatable cot from Holidoze which was great - he's now three and has just grown out of it. It inflates fairly quickly, packs up much smaller than a travel cot and lasts longer than one of the pop up things which didn't seem that safe to me. The design keeps them cool when its hot and warm when its not/
Take something to stick under their beds (and yours too natch) and I would recommend those fleece all in one things over their pjs if its cold at night plus maybe extra blankets that they can kick off.
Take a bucket for the early morning pee that your 4 year old will need urgently. Quite good for you too late at night to save you taking it in turns to go/leaving the kids alone.
The great thing about camping is that they sleep well when they finally drop off because of all the fresh air.
Think about taking something to bath them in near the tent - we used to use one of those big storage boxes - we packed it with stuff to get to the campsite then washed them in it in the evening. A little paddling pool is quite nice too.
Have fun. Don't worry too much about the noise the kids make (although screaming all night is a no-no obviously). I am now a dab hand at singing lullabies to an entire campsite while my mum reads a bedtime story in the front of the tent.
You will need a tent that is bigger than it should be and if you can manage one with 4 bedrooms you can have somewhere to stick all the toys and clothes out of the way.
