Is this madness?

OK, we have one child, 3yo. Suddenly she's obsessed with the idea of camping, and thinks we should all go on a camping holiday. I've spent one night under canvas (drunk, at a music festival), my wife has never set foot in a tent.

Part of me thinks it can't be that hard to get a tent, find a site near us and let the little monkey try it. Most of me thinks this is a bloody stupid idea and we should stick to renting a cottage and self-catering as usual.

Any advice?

There is tons of camping that way onwards. We love going to whitby (Broomfield cottages). Borrow from a friend or buy second hand. Or look at companies like eurocamp. We use them for France and Italy so not sure what their UK provisions are like.

DH and I grew up camping and take our kids camping all the time. We did one hotel holiday and hated it!

Its part of the fun to try and do it as cheap as possible, we bought a caravan for £100 and never looked back
