Having spent many happy holidays camping as a child, I'm now keen to give my children the same sorts of memories. However, I don't know where to start!
I've been searching these forums for a while now but have just been confusing myself (not hard...I am blonde!).
We are a family of 5 - we have 3 children, aged 8, nearly 4, and 9 months (girl-boy-girl). Neither me or my husband have real camping experience and we don't want to make any expensive mistakes! Can anyone recommend a basic, cheapish tent and let me know what equipment is absolutely essential? I'm thinking that we'll need a double airbed for us and one for the 8 and 4 year olds to share; baby can sleep in a suitcase (picked up this tip from another forum). If we're on a campsite, presumably we'll have water etc so won't need to carry that, but will we need a camping stove/lights to use in the tent? I'm really worried that the children will get too cold, as well - would appreciate any tips on how to keep them snug overnight.
I'm aware that these are very simple and stupid questions but I don't want to make mistakes and end up spending money that I'll regret, or going on a holiday I'll never want to repeat! Would love a shopping list and recommendations of where to buy things - am guessing Milletts is not the obvious choice...
Thank you!!
