Hi, I feel your frustration and desire for her to like it and enjoy it as you and your son do.
OK, so, how about having 'play tent' time with her (buy one of those little ones if you have the funds to spare?) ... to familiarise her with being in a different space. Do this in the garden, daytimes, and make it a game like a Wendy house. Or,pretend camp with her toys, using things from the home/toybox (old fashioned clothes horses were great for this!). Perhaps, just perhaps, she will begin to like it and then, as Lidds has said, try a site close to home so you can go back if she doesn't settle or, have the grandparents take her home whilst your son enjoys his little adventure. Mmmm, but that last option brings lots of issues too...
Good luck, and hope you manage the birthday break without friction.

Do campers 'peg it'?

and question everything and into everything - they have grown into really smart, interesting young people who think for themselves and don't take no for an answer - I'm really proud of them.
She was getting more and more unsettled so we spun the 5 minutes to home so as not to disturb dad and big brother (and other campers!) and came back to the campsite at about 8am to the boys cooking breakfast
