OK forget Gina Ford, I need a holiday. I'm not generally a camper, but cash is tight. Anyone got any recommendations for a nice uk break in mid June, mum dad 3 yrs and 1 yr. I don't really get how camping works with littlies - basically they both sleep well (ish) as long as they are in their own little beds in separate (dark) rooms...so maybe a cabin style affair?


Thanks :-)

Hmm I've been looking and there are some awesome places - all kinds of treehouses and yurts etc - but I just can't envisage how this would work with very young children - at the moment they both sleep in cots and have never shared a room....and I can't imagine how bath time etc would work (am I being completely anal?!?). Maybe better fun for them when older?


France seems to be where it's at though. This place looks fab!

SB: My friend Steph went glamping with a then 4mo old and 3yr old, and loved it. I believe they went to somewhere in Suffolk (sorry for being vague). Do you want me to put her in touch with you about it all? Here is her blog about it: http://imcountingufoz.com/blog/glamping-474

I've done lots of times pre-kids but also can't imagine it with little ones. I think that although there are seperate 'rooms' in the big tents they are really not rooms and there is no sound proofing. If you could relax a bit about bedtimes then it would ok, but my little girl has a melt down if she gets overtired and I like it when she goes to bed.


I think you would just have to forgo the baths for washes or if your kids are ok, showers. We looked into it in June and I think I have decided that either chalet or a cottage is the way forward at this stage. Mine would be 2 1/2 and a few months old when we are looking to go. Something fun when they are a bigger I think.

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
