If you've got kids - a porta-loo
Double height airbeds - feels like home
Laptop with 'dongle' for internet on the go
and last but not least Delonghi Bambino oil filled heater always takes the chill off!!

How about

A flight of tents  ( in windy weather ) 

A pod of tents    

An intent of tents 

A peg of tents  

and for Rex and Rob       A Delta of tents

Mine would have to be my LED headlight. I truly don't know how I managed without it. To be able to use both hands to fix, find and adjust things in the dark is a joy, and when we blown to bits last year it would have been even more traumatic if we hadn't been able to see what we were doing. Handy when picking up after the dogs, too, and much better for reading by than thos daft booklights that eat battereis and need to be removed every time you want to turn the page.

My earplugs are my next most useful, I'd be a very grumpy and sleep-deprived camper without them.

Our single-burner stove and the griddle - Hubby cooks the most fantastic full breakfasts (brunch, really) on it, and I don't have to do a thing!!  It's wonderful to get out of bed and not have to start cooking breakfast - bliss!!

i still love my bacon griller/croisant toaster thing but my new favourite thing ever is our fishing chairs

and the blue spotted  ikea collapsible plant holder. I wish i had taken more of them to keep my stuff in order!

A UFO !

Well thats what we call it anyway, it is a disc shaped lamp that can be hooked on the top of the tent and gives great light. Batteries last for ever no heavy lanterns, gas canisters or heavy batteries to worry about. Just 4 small AA batteries last for days on end.

I find it funny how camping equipment tends to conform to pre conceived ideas. Lamps being one. Why do almost all lamps look like gas lanterns? The UFO is brilliant, so small and light, someone with a genuine new idea for a change.
