To start, we‘re pretty skint atm. And it’s not going to improve the next 2 years at least (DH is studying and a lot of money is going on fees etc etc).
This summer we camped a few times. DC (8 and 5) absolutely LOVED it. For us oldies it could have been a bit more comfortable.
Our current set up:
- 3 man tent
- Bed is 3 yoga mats, open sleeping bag and blankets to lie on, and more blankets and another open sleeping bag to cover us.
- car parked next to us to store anything we need.
- gas stove to cook
- camping chairs
- picnic blanket, torch, solar fairy lights etc
- that‘s about it 😳
Our funds cannot stretch to a bigger tent. We can however buy 2 more sleeping bags so we have one each. And a proper mattress would be good too.
Has anyone got a mattress recommendation? Something that wouldn’t take up too much room, as we have a small car.
And are there cotton sleeping bags? Are they any good? I absolutely hate the shiny, sweaty material ones.
