I am going on holiday to Spain in a few days. The first week we are in an apartment by a beach and the second week, we were originally planning to stay with a friend but this has fallen through at the last minute. Rather than change our flights, I have decided to book a pitch at a nearby campsite.
Today, I bought a lightweight (10kg) tent which will sleep me and my 3 kids and am borrowing self-inflating lightweight mattresses. We have 4 sleeping bags, all of which I have packed into a suitcase. Because we are flying and not hiring a car but using public transport, I am trying to travel very light. All our clothes, toiletries and everything else for the 2 weeks will be packed into a large sports bag/holdall. Can you give me any idea of absolute essential items I need for the camping part, which is on a largish and well equipped site. Its quite a few years since I camped and that was with a partner and a car!
So far, I have thought of a corkscrew (!), plastic plates and cups, a knife for chopping salad etc and pack of cards and a torch. Bear in mind, space is very tight! We will eat out or do salady things, frites, pizzas etc.
All advice very welcome
