I think camping is the only type of holiday we will be able to afford this summer. DH has bought a tent in the sale but what else do we need? We are a bit clueless. Our kids are 5 and 2. Please can anyone share a list of must have equipment and any other camping top tips. Thank you!

Self inflating mats are warmer and comfier than airbeds.
Sleeping bags.
Bring your normal pillows.
Folding table and chairs.
2 cheap suitcase stoves.
Battery powered lamps.
One box to store clean kitchen equipment and one to carry dirty pots to the washing up area.

Forgot a cool box and most crucially flip flops for the shower!
We like the national trust sites for camping. They are much cheaper than the likes if the caravan and camping club but have nice shower blocks. Sites like pitch up or campsites uk will let you see lots of reviews for different campsites.

Another vote for self inflating mat over air bed (x100 !) . Add duvet on top then make up as bed - super comfy and so much better to sleep on. And def second the mindset comment. Everything takes ages so try and go with that
