Pump
Batteries
Torches & lantern
Picnic set

Swimming costumes
Torches
Frying pan
Pot
Paddling pool (probably won't fill with water but they all enjoyed just hanging out in it with pillows and blankets last time)
Outdoor toys
Food
Booze
More booze

There's a fire and BBQ to cook on, not bothering with gas stoves etc.

We went last weekend. Wild woods camping..
Halloumi cheese on a Bbq. Mmmm!!

Agree with clothes airer - just a small one, but so useful

Extra foil-backed picnic blankets for your sleeping area - helps reduce the cold under the air beds

Extra towels or rugs for the living part of the tent if you have one, doormat for wiping feet outside
More blankets than you think
Crocs / flip flops for showers
Electric hook up - heater, electric pan, fans, chargers etc
Table and comfortable chairs not crappy picnic chairs
Onesies for kids at night
Bin bags, kitchen roll, bottle opener, tin opener, spare gas
More booze
More booze
More booze
Washing up kit if you are going to cook

Hotel

a caravan

So many good ideas.
A nice warm jumper and socks for chilly evenings aswell.

Absinthe

I'd definitely take a gas stove. A bbq/fire is no substitute for morning hot water/beans/egg

Keep your things in separate bags so you always have access to dry things.

Also, test your airbed before you go to see how flat it goes through the night. A sleeping mat looks too flat to be comfortable, but it's handy to have on top of your airbed in case it deflates.

Also, a silk sleeping bag liner. Will keep you warm and cool if there's a heatwave.

Honestly? A flight mask and a massive massive gin.

Solar shower to hang up for quick hand washes and anything else that requires a quick squirt of water

A tin opener

Having gone at the weekend, i am adding anti-histamines! 🤧

A credit card to book a hotel instead?

Washing line if there is nothing on site.

And clothes pegs for hanging up things to dry.

Honestly? A flight mask and a massive massive gin.

Yeah a really heavy duty sleeping mask. I went camping at the weekend and the night was very short.

Fire blanket or extinguisher. Citronella candles.

Keep your things in separate bags so you always have access to dry things.

Or just store your suitcase in the car boot so protected from the elements at all times. Always keep anything I'd like to stay dry in the car when not using

A hotel?

Cooking oil or spray oil. We seem to forget this almost every trip.

Washing up liquid.

Exploding Kittens.

More booze and very naice plastic glasses for said booze.

A front door mat (Trust me on this one.. avoids wet grass coming inside your tent in people’s shoes)

And a big bucket tub to put all of your shoes in.

And a load of wine

How are you going to transport all this stuff with you?

Have you got a minivan?

A roof box. Absolute game changer

and stops me wanting to impale my DH on the camping chairs when he's playing car tetris
