Going Camping this weekend... what do I need to take?

[MummyJules]

I'm joining my friends for a church weekend in Battle. The food side is sorted but just wondered what essentials I should take to keep my four yr old happy - She has never been camping before and me sane!
The only essential item I have down so far is.... TORCH!

TIA,

Jules

waterproofs!! We camp every year and even if the forecast is great take warm stuff! In terms of toys etc take a big pad of paper and some washable pens, a few books and a couple of fav dolls etc. If there are going to be other kids there you will probably find taht she goes off and has fun just running around and being in the 'great outdoors'
