Have a look at the checklist here from the 'Features/Tips' area.

I don't use airbeds, but do have an inflatable boat. This pump, from Argos, is good:

Double-action hand pump £8.99

Argos also do a bellows foot-pump for airbeds.  Either will pump to higher pressure than the little battery pumps you get.  (Although, unlike a boat, an air-bed should be a bit squishy, not too hard.)  Don't try any pump designed for car tyres - they are meant for small volumes at high pressure, and you want large volumes at low pressure.

Don't forget a torch for those midnight treks accross fields to toilet facilities! Maybe a coolbox & ice pack thingies if you want to take some beers/wine/bacon  with you. We found caravanning last year that site shops can be a bit pricey.

Oh, also a mallett with a hook on the end for pulling up the tent pegs.
