i agree with paulamb. i do similar for 1 nighters. small tent (my tempest is up in 10 mins), only bring stuff i will use or need. 1 hour drive time (i also am near the norfolk coast and countryside). minimal stuff clothes wise . i have room to spare usually in the streetka boot, with a barbecue. its nice to do a minimal simple style compared to a full on family camp. over time i`ve whittled the kit right down. for food i plan my tea, a few snacks or treats, breakfast and thats it bar a bit of milk for teas.

I would quite happily go away for 1 night, only did it once at Easter this year when me and my 3 year old daughter camped locally in my small backpacking tent. If I could arrive on site early on the day of arrival and leave late afternoon the following day I would be happy. We could do it from where we are based as within 15 minutes we are in the Peak District with loads of site choices.

For one nighters, I have used either the Terra Nova LaserLite 1kg backpacking Tent, or if cyclecamping the 2.5kg Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT gets used, not done either for a couple of years though.
The Cabanon never goes up for less than 14 nights at a time, usually July each year and definitely not in the UK.
