Camping next weekend, 2 DC, 4 and 7, me and DP. I’m experienced and we have stuff. But I’m not feeling very organised and seem a bit forgetful at the moment. Please post things we might forget. Tia.

All you really need is wine.
We forgot bedding on time.
What I normally forget is a bag for recycling.
Swing ball?
Scrabble?
Did I mention wine?

First aid kit; Savlon, plasters, antihistamines, Nurofen, cream for sting and rashes.

Torch.
Tin-opener. (If not the ring pull ones)
Nail file/nail clipper. If you tear a nail, you don’t want it catching on anything.
Spare shoelaces. Handy for lots of things, not just shoes.

Torches
Container for water (not the horrible ones from halfords that taste of plastic)

String or similar and laundry pegs to hang this up on.
Electricity hook up thingy
Lamp/torch

Plasters
Sun cream (!)
Quiet things for the dc to do if they wake up early, or if it’s raining.
Tin opener

Potty. Even for the 7 year old in the middle of the night....

Orangedaisy · 21/05/2021 19:34

🤣 I admit I used the potty one time!

On various trips I have forgotten my own underwear and towels and a friend forgot her saucepans. But for a weekend camping in the UK there's likely to be a supermarket you can get most items from.

My go to list I found here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/camping/1843520-Checklist-geekdom

It’s brilliant- mine is unfortunately not laminated 😁

WalkingAfterMidnight · 21/05/2021 19:39

OMG - I’ve just seen the date on that post. Apparently I’ve been here quite a while...

CMOTDibbler · 21/05/2021 19:44

With the weather as it is currently, hot water bottles.
One thing I take that isn't on the lists is a flask. That way I can make several hot drinks at once and don't need to get up and boil the kettle/fetch water each time, can preboil water for pasta if you have a one ring stove, or do the bedtime hot drink in the light
