Although we use a caravan, as said above when we go away to sites its the ONLY time my 5yr old boy goes to bed easily & sleeps later than 6am. About 7 - 730 seems the time when people get up with the kids anyway. We've been going for about 3 years and never had a problem. Other members of family have come with tents next to ours & their kids go off to sleep no problem. Just make sure that they're warm enough, don't forget it can get colder during the night,  and they'll be fine

Don't worry its one of the best hols we've been on and I'm sure you'll love it.

Thanks all for your reassurance (not sure how this site works, do I thank people at the end of my thread, or start a new one?).  Anyhow, thanks so much - can't wait to go now .

Don't forget favourite 'Teddy'  - he likes to go camping too !

Have a hunt around bargain book stores for kids books with a camping theme ( not ghoulies in the woods ones though !! )

Try buying some glowsticks off ebay - they are our girls ( 6 and 4 ) comfort sticks in the night.............

I'd much rather hear a baby crying than a drunk throwing up in the next tent ....

Fresh air is a great sleeping pill for kids ours sleep better when we are away than at home.Our 2year old sleeps in till after 9am and you have to tip the 2 older children out of sleeping bags.
