If you have chosen that your next family venture will be a camping one, it is best to start planning and budgeting what you need early.

Firstly, a good quality tent, spending that little extra on a strong durable tent is worth it, as you want the tent to be able to keep your family warm and cosy in the evenings and withstand any weather conditions.

Somewhere to sleep, this, of course, is necessary, you need a comfortable sleeping bag that can withstand the temperatures your destination will be at its coldest, select a bag with the correct lowest temperature range to make sure you stay warm at night when temperatures reach their lowest.

Cooking station, you may opt for a BBQ style cooking throughout or choose to have a gas stove to assist with cooking a nice evening meal. The stove is useful as you can heat up your water ready for that well-needed cup of coffee in the mornings.
