Funnily enough I'm going for a one nighter today with my nephew too, he's 12 and he likes camping but his family aren't keen. This is our first Auntie and Nephew trip, so I hope it goes well. My own kids don't want to come though.
I'm taking a pop up too, it's a stand up height one though. I am amazed at your gear, I've got about twice that and I thought I was doing well! What all are you taking?

I forgot to mention some stuff too, the tongs and washing up bowl and the fairy etc.
I've camped in Castlewellan, it's a lovely setting. I was in the Shepherds Rest this time, first time for me. I normally go to Benone or Hillfoot. Can't believe we're both in NI, both having auntie and nephew weekends, and both using quechua pop ups...chances of that!

I've not been in Tollymore, but I found Castelwellan a bit scary - not the sites fault, other campers.
Carrick Dhu is lovely...I love the walled garden area too.
I have been to quite a few campsites in NI but I'm going to one on 19th Sept that is new to me, Clare Glen near Tandragee. Have you heard of it?
