We went to Riverside in Wales for 7 nights.

After studying the video links provided by some of you guys we had the tent pitched in 30 minutes - the equipment and "furnishings" took about another hour and half.

The site was amazing - the weather was mostly good although we did get 2 nights of heavy rain.

We were hoping that we'd discover loads of our stuff was not needed but no we used every single thing!

The Cobb came into play on the first night and we sat down to a full roast dinner which was gorgeous!!

The kids were in their element - free to go to the play area and make friends all day long.

We are off again in 11 days to Derbyshire.

This was the big test as to if camping was really for us and it passed!!

Glad to hear your trip was a success.  It will make you feel more confident about going away again in 11 days time.  Dont you love how the kids are so content and make friends very easily whilst camping .

If it wasn't for my kids I don't think I'd speak to anyone when camping.....I'm so shy it's horrible.....my teens will talk to anyone on site and make friends really easily.....a couple who were staying next to us over this weekend in a campervan offered to chauffuer them up and down the quite long driveway if they were coming/going at the same time!
