 But that's because we've invested in a load of new kit which will last for years and years to come.

It's cheap for us. £25 a night for 5 of us next week. We cook and eat what we would at home so no more expensive. We use Tesco vouchers for days out and make packed lunches. Walks, evenings playing cards, talking. I agree you can do it on the cheap and I love it that way. If we'd have gone to a cottage it would have been £1,000 ish.

Over the last few years i've seen our camping costs soar. Mainly on food and drink. You know the score "lets nip to the supermarket for some bread and milk" you come back to the tent with half the supermarket! This year we pre-cooked and froze meals for 3 nights (kept almost frozen in the fridge...and froze the cucumber oops) and took fresh meat for BBQ's and lunches. We went to the supermarket once and topped up on milk from the site shop. By doing this we dramatically reduced the cost of the holiday. BUT the rain made us beat a hasty retreat to the pub so any money saved went on a pub tea!
