We camped with our 3 year old in the Peak District at Easter - your duvets as well as the sleeping bags will help substantially. You could always open the sleeping bags up to cover the airbeds like a sheet if you're too warm. Blankets or fleecy mattress protectors will help insulate you from a cold airbed too. Hot water bottles and  warm PJs with something like a hoody to keep heads and arms warm when they escape the sleeping bags are also great.

We were warm and toasty and it was colder then - I just had to stretch over and pull the bedding over our son occasionally during the night as he wriggles.

Good luck - you'll be fine!

No EHU, and No heater!!

I used to be the same, but i would never look back from EHU now.

In fact, we cancelled camping this weekend due to weather.

Good luck.

I have found that the easy way to insulate youself from the cold ground is to put one of the closed cell foam camping mats under the inflatable airbed.  I have used them for many years and they are great.   Swapped my tent for a Camplet as I'm unable to get down on the ground very easily, but I've improved the heat retaining properties by putting these mats under the mattress.  Happy camping.

we just got back from camping with jess (4yrs old) and she was probably warmer than we were in just pjs and her own kiddie sleeping bag - i was absolutely amazed - she was tpastie warm and slept pretty well ! the airbed we put her on had a waterproof backed cheapie picnic rug under it, flannel type colemans sheet on it and a blanket on top of that for her to sleep on - she seemed absolutely fine and said was warm enough!

I, on the other hand really feel the cold a lot and was on top of several layers on our bed, under several blankets and an unzipped double sleeping bag with hubbie plus wore my woolie hat and thermals to be extra sure lol! i managed to sleep so something must have worked but there's something to be said for heaters - good luck anyway i'm sure it will be fine
