Camping at this time of year is perfectly doable.  That said, if you're new to camping you're probably not going to have the kit to make it a pleasant experience. electric hook up and a good, thermostatically controlled fan heater is a good start, as are good quality sleeping bags or a high tog duvet.  Basically you need plenty of insulation. have a tent carpet, one of those silver backed picnic blankets under the airbed and a fleece blanket on top of it. as the previous poster said the trick is to keep warm as it's much harder to get warm once you're cold.

if you haven't got the kit I'd leave it till next year, Easter at the earliest.
