We went camping a few years ago and had an amazing weekend - we barbecued, played family rounders, had a couple of great trips out, had water fights and in general, had some good old fashioned family fun. It was so much fun and amazing value for money considering it cost less than £40 for all of us to over the long Bank Holiday weekend.The one thing I wasn't keen on though were the nights and I can honestly say that I got hardly any sleep between two wriggling children, a snoring husband whose snores seem to be magnified 10x in the great outdoors and various trips to the toilets … [Read more...]
