All we have is a tent, sleeping bags and airbeds - what else will we need!

[KaySamuels]

We have been camping twice in the past, but to accompany scouts to camp so had all the equipment taken for us, we are hoping to go camping for aug bank hol with friends and I can't think what we will need.

Maybe some seasoned campers could help?
Also where is the best place to get camping things on a budget?

a coolbox
a good double stove
a pan with a lid and a frying pan
a washing up bowl
a torch
duvet
leg warmers
rum
loads of lighters
pegs (to peg your rubbish bag to the guy rope so it doesn't blow away )
candles
knife
cocoa

ooh thanks cosima good list

am liking the rum and cocoa

washing up bowl I would not have thought of

Never needed to think of all this stuff in the past, am now realising I took it for granted!

anthisan
windbreak
umbrella
kitkat chunkys
salt and pepper
little jamjar for making salad dressing
mallet

I'm jealous cos i'm not going camping this year for the first year in my life cos my lo is too small and not a good sleeper

Aaw you will soon be good to go again

DS first went camping at 8 months, and my friends baby will be same age, he loved it. Just had a peek at your profile what a cutey!

Thanks for your help, will print off your lists I think!

orinoco - ds does hate showers so that is a fab idea

These are great ideas glad I posted! Will check out that link too.

Bucket with a lid for middle of the night pees

Pillows. They make all the difference in terms of quality of sleep.

a blanket or rug to go underneath you and on top of the air bed. Air bed on its own can be rather cold

Have been camping twice before in our tent, first time I was pg and v.uncomfortable, 2nd time ds was 8m old - is now 3yr !

DP seems to act as some kind of portable heater so will be ok with our sleeping bags and bed clothes

pillows check

busket check

Buskets are always important when camping, IMO.

LOL that your DP is portable heater - mine too!

Lucycat, that list is great, thanks - it's always good to have more suggestions of what we can ram into our car!
