My best tip for those who shop when they get there is do an online shop with Tesco and have it delivered to site a couple of hours after you expect to arrive. Works for me.

Oh i so envey all of you that have a car to pack lol.

 As a non driving camper everything myself, my teenager daughter and my 2yr old will have for our weekend camping trip has to fit into one large pull along holdall, one 60l backpack and one small backpack, ofcourse this hasnt stopped me buying everything i would like to take, or think i might need lol.  Iv held of at buying the campng chairs and windbreaker just now, though i have thought i may be able to saw the poles in half and reattach them onsite using a small piece of copper piping, my dad thinks not .

Only downside so far is that we have to buy all our food onsite, so am looing for site close to supermarkets, as site shops can tend to charge alot more and stock alot less.

Im hoping to try this method of camping out this weekend, last time wee cheated and got a lift

We bought a load of stuff bags for sleeping bags, duvets etc. Its amazing how much you can stuff into such a small space. All our clothes go into soft holdalls which can be squashed down (it doesn't seem to crease them up too badly!

Other small items are squeezed into all nooks and crannies, under seats etc. Never seems to fit as well for the return journey though. Why is that?
