Things to Bring

Tents;

Good quality waterproof tents are essential, twin doors allow ventilation on hot days, family tents are nice but do not offer privacy. Children are often happy sharing their own tent.

Bedding;

Difficult to have too much, extra blankets are always useful. Camping mats or comfy cushions recommended.

Cooking;

Large cooking pot and kettle for use on open fire, (avoid aluminum or non stick)
Chopping board and knife, plates and cutlery for every family member, a tin opener. Water containers, washing up bowl and eco friendly wash up liquid. We take it in turns to cook and evening meal for our circle, usually two people working together. So bring a recipe and ingredients for one large meal say up to 20 people. Sounds a bit daunting but can be great fun with more experienced campers helping out those who are new to cooking for a large group. The shop will also stock plenty of wonderful ingredients.

Eco friendly washing products

As we are camping on a wonderful organic farm we strongly encourage the use of eco friendly washing up liquid, shampoo, soap and washing powder. There are lots of wonderful options available in any health food shop and some supermarkets.

For fire;

Firelighters, lighters, small axe for kindling.

Prepare for all weather;

Do bring a waterproof coat and trousers, wellies, umbrellas (great shade from the sun and handy in the rain too), sandals and those cool shades!

Some other things people like to bring;

Midge repellent, sun cream, a camping stool, a drum, hot water bottles, ear plugs, extra tents for supplies, clothes pegs and rope for a washing line, also wild tribal/Celtic dress up clothes and face paints.

You also may like to bring some rope with you in order to make some kitchen furniture. We have a policy of no nails or screws in the making of furniture on site.
