Do you have a tent already ?

Oooh, a Gelert Cabana 4 berth, where did you find that ? And which design ?.....they're as rare as hens teeth . I have friends who spend many hours scouring eBay for one.


The tent will be fine for you and a wee one. As for equipment.....that's how most of us spend our winter evenings, online shopping.


Aldi have camping gear a couple of times a year, my local Aldi still had some bits and pieces left a couple of weeks ago.....you might be lucky .

Look out for Lidl/Aldi having camping stuff on offer, certainly for chairs/tables etc.
We've never bothered with a kitchen unit. We use an aluminium roll-top table for prep/as a cooker stand and keep the cooking gear in a box.

Vango are good for reasonably priced sims.

Outwell Campion Lux bags are decent for late spring/summer/early autumn camping and reasonably cheap. Take some fleece blankets for extra warmth, sitting out in the evening etc.

Coleman do a decent cheapish windbreak with fibreglass poles so it packs up small. We don't use ours any more so you can have it if I can find it and it's not stupidly expensive to get it to you.

Never used a heater apart from the barbecue. (Obviously outside only. NEVER take a barbecue inside a tent.)

If you're only going for a few days a good passive coolbox (Coleman Extreme/Iceytek) is better than an electric fridge IMHO.
