my plan is that once ive spent lots of money on all the kit we need/want he will be more keen as he will want his moneys worth lol  failing that im great at nagging

and daughter just needs to realise that what i say goes we have done butlins for last 9 years now its time for change lol

Thats it,if you sleep well you can cope with just about anything!

As for kids...hats and socks on,hot chocolate and a tale of the "camping fairy" and they sleep like a log..(the camping fairy just makes it up as she goes along!!)

My suggestion would be that before you throw yourself in the deepend with a whole week away you do a night or two first at a local site.

It's only through spending time in the tent, preparing meals, sleeping, etc you will understand what you need and what you don't, it's amazing what small things you forget to take.
