we're taking our 7mth old and 4 yr old dds camping in august - part music festival, part camping in the welsh countryside. Frankly, i'm scared its going to very hard work!

What the heck do we really need? Any handy tips to stop this being hellish? Thanks!

zip the bedroom compartments so that the zip is at the top where ds can't reach, but you can still peep in.

Wasps supposedly hate citronella but have never found it that effective tbh. When I was a kid we used to use wasp traps (take 2l bottle with a bit of Coke left in the bottom, cut off top couple of inches and replace upside down in bottle, hang from nearby tree) but they're not terribly humane!

Fabulous list. I have a bag full of camping stuff like the kettle and blow up beds, so half our stuff is packed and ready to go GrinGrinGrin
But there's so much more to take now we have dd Shock. The kitchen sink must be included. Wink

For repelling wasps Waspinator is supposed to be effective.
