Long Stratton so not far away, and close enough to the world of camping in Blofield!!

I'd recommend taking something to occupy your daughter in the car whilst you're pitching the tent. There are plenty of threads on here about frayed tempers during this 'delicate' phase of the holiday and we have found (through experience) that keeping kids out of the way makes it a bit easier.

We generally take some story CD's and pop one of these on in the car whilst we pitch. It means that our kids are happy in the car for half an hour whilst OH and I curse each other whilst wrestling with the tent..... ! Hopefully, by the time the story has finished, the tent is up and the holiday is underway....

Sit back and chill, its a learning curve.  We are new campers and on my first trip i took everything, my hubby thought i had lost the plot!  Most of the rubbish that we took we bought back in the same box it went in untouched!!  the only things you need are, your tent, your family, kettle, something to cook on, lights, something to sleep on and in.  I have a fettish with taking a dustpan and brush to try and keep the tent tidy lol!!
