DP has always been anti-camping. He's not the greatest of sleepers and has had a few bad experiences in the past. He does, however, love the thought of a future of cheap holidays and is a very outdoorsy person. I think he wants to love camping but I just need to find the key things that will tip it into a good/great holiday rather than a get-me-out-of-here one. My only experience with camping is festivals but for me a tent with lots of space that I can stand up in is the most important thing. Second is choosing the right campsite (which can be a whole other thread).
What are your recommendations or tips? We will be going with two boys (6&4) and we are essentially starting from scratch with gear!

For me it's absolutely a canvas tent.
No more waking up feeling I've slept in a big sweaty carrier bag.
