Calling all campers

Have posted this on site stuff also, but wanted to catch those of you who go straight to holdays topic...

We're at the finishing stages of completing our survey of the best campsites both in Britain and abroad based on the reviews you've sent over to us. If you've just come back from a campsite that you think shd be included, it's not too late to send a review - even if it doesn't get included in this survey, it'll be noted and could well appear in the future.

The introduction will include a checklist for novice campers and we're keen to have your tips here. What items do you pack that make life easier under canvas? whether it's a dustpan and brush to keep your groundsheet grass-free or a car battery operated air bed pump, we want to know about it...(you can tell what I've been doing this summer!)

We're also keen to hear any other tips you have that make camping life more fun/more relaxing/easier/less uncomfortable/bearable. So, if you wish to send a review of your favourite site, click here and post your camping tips on this thread .

Thanks a lot

Rachel

OK have done! as a newbie camper I can't resist a camping thread! We have visited 2 sites this year so I have reviewed them both.

Wait for the regulars to pop up - Katherine, sallystrawberry, happymerryberries, KBear etc..... They can sniff out a camping thread at 100 paces too.........

Thanks Lucycat - don't suppose you could make a start on our camping checklist on this thread? Would really appreciate your input.

A shower cap would be useful -
we desperately needed one this weekend, dd needed a shower before bed and really could have done with keeping her hair dry before snuggling down in her sleeping bag.

If you like a firm bed, think about getting a camp bed rather than an inflatable matress. If you decided on a matress, consider getting two singles for you and dp, this avoids the 'life on the ocean wave' feeling when one of you gets up.
