Already done it!!! Bought the roof box after our first camping trip, bought the trailer before the second and then went out today and bought a Ford Galaxy. As for visiting another camping shop, we're off to Highbridge tomorrow to sort out the problems with our faulty Outwell!!!!!!!!!!!
I've learnt that the whole family love camping as much as me. We can't get enough.
We have to get a bigger car or trailer or roofrack or both, or maybe leave hubby behind as I can't fit him in only He is invaluable to try to get our tent up from the inside...I can't reach up high enough.
Visiting new campsites while you're away elsewhere is always worthwhile. We've found some gems while popping in on the offchance.
A bucket can be very useful, and a sence of humour is invaluable.

Welcome to UKCS, the best camping site in the world Bop.
You are now officially addicted......
thank youso much. it was down to this site i came across that we had a really brilliant holiday last year camping with friends.so roll on next year we will be camping loads if anyone knows any goods sites with a pool for the kids please let me know
We learned in 2006 that camping is no longer for us.
It started to wane a bit in 2005, but died a complete death in 2006.
We went loads of times in the previous years. We'd both be really excited getting home from work, loading up the gear and heading off for the weekend. But this year, was very different. It just didnt' "grip" us at all, we just coudln't be arsed with it. We didn't go once, and didn't miss it or yearn for it either.
Despite visiting camping shops/shows, we did not rekindle the camping bug. I think the novelty wore off and our enthusiasm for it burned out. I think it may be all over for us, campingwise. I'll see how we feel in the spring, but at this moment in time I'd say it's over.

Never say never, we have been at it for years and there is always something different for us, maybe you should just sack camping for a year or two and not ewven think about it.
Book yourself some all inclusive deals or beach holidays and then re think it after that....
