Hi I'm wanting some advice please. This is our first bash at camping!!!

I've just bought a second hand sunncamp vario 6 (collecting during week!)

I have a cooker, gas bottle, kettle, pans and plates! I also have a picnic table and chairs.

I think i just need lanterns, quilts and airbeds. Please feel free to tell me if we need anything else!

forgot to say its me, hubby, daughter (5) son (2)

Thanks Jo :-)

Congrats-When do you get to go away in it? Your kids will love it There is a checklist on this page herehttp://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=7

Make sure you have all their waterproof clothing so they can still enjoy being outside in the bad weather, ideally an all in one waterproof so they can then roll around outside which my children seem to love doing! lol

We are relatively new to all this too, but I'd say it really helps making room in the car for your own pillows (I am sure hardened campers would disagree).

We have managed fine without table and chairs if you are short of space.

A buggy to strap your 2 year old into while you put up the tent would really help & a dry run of putting the tent up at home is slightly less embarrassing than doing it to an audience on a campsite!

Have fun!
