Hi Jackie,

 I find all sites single-parent friendly. Your kids at 5 & 9 will have a whale of a time. I dont think i'd bother buying hook up until you know that camping is for you as its very expensive and not really needed. I hardly ever use mine except for camping in October when I find I need it.

Id use the campsite search to find my own site. As others looking for you may have different likes/dislikes to you. Just browse through the list and pick something you feel drawn to, perhaps not too far from home for a first time out?

Cant help with the tent im afraid. Ive always used a large 8 man tunnel when I camp with all my kids or a small cheap 3 man dome from Tesco when only my younger two want to come. If you struggle first time, ask for help. Most campers are very friendly and will lend a hand or a mallet or whatever is needed.

Most of all enjoy it as this first trip will one day be a fond memory of what a cool parent you were taking the kids camping!
