Can't help with the camping with twins... mine are almost 11 now. We didn't go camping when they was young, only started recently.  We always went in a static!!!!

Only bit of advice I'll give your regarding twins is don't believe people hwne they say it will get easier...... it doesn't, it's just a different set of problems these days  LOL

But it IS worth it when they're all in bed !!!!

look in my gallery in two mins and there'll be a picture of my three boys at their cutest..... Also have a daughter!!!!!

I only have one baby, but I noticed you use cloth nappies and so do I.  It may be worth considering (depending on how yours are through the night and space permitting) using cloth overnight.  I did when we went away, because I wanted her to feel as comfortable as she could in a strange bed and tent!  She was fine in disposables all day, but I just felt using cloth overnight would be more comforting for her as it's what she's used to.  I just swilled the nappy out in the morning, put it in a nappy sack, and did a wash as soon as I got home.  Obviously it may not be realistic for you to do that, but it worked for me, and she slept fine all the time we were away.

Also, if your two are crawling/rolling around, look at getting all in one splash suits.  We've got one and they're brilliant for protecting clothes if the ground is a bit damp.

Have a great time

I have a 5 year old and a 7 month old.  I've just bought a secondhand BUMBO seat which I hope will be useful for feeding and keeping baby in one place when necessary.  They are a bit pricey but can always be re-sold.  They have them in Mothercare.  Good Luck!  This will be our first camp with a baby too - last year it was just the 5 year old and the bump.

Cheers!

I have a bumbo for sale if anyones interested? Only the one though, I bought it for a friend who's got a baby & they've given it back to me to sell on now.

Here's a bumbo website.  They look like a really good idea for camping with babies.  We will be putting ours to the test in a few week's time! 

Cheers

Hi

My twin girls are 8 now. When they were little I found a travel cot with mesh sides invaluable!!

Its great for bed but we used to plonk it everywhere where the action was and they'd sit/stand enthralled for hours.

Also agree with taking as little as possible and buying it there!
