Single parent camping

What you’ll need

Tents
You want a lightweight, easy pitching tent, like the Woodville 3 or 4. These also have a porch area, which is great for muddy wellies. Air tents are the fastest and easiest to pitch, but weigh more.

Sleeping bags
For maximum warmth and comfort, sleeping bags need to be a close fit so it’s important to invest in junior sized sleeping bags for the kids. Self-inflating mats are easy to carry and set up.

Furniture
Blankets are great for picnic-style meals, or try the Dawson Picnic table set, which comes with a table and four chairs that fold down into an easy-to-carry suitcase. 

Accessories
Eating outside is all part of the camping experience and it’s likely you’ll be cooking at the campsite fairly often. The Jimbu stove is a portable, lightweight stove and grill in one, so you can toast and boil whatever you fancy.
