I am packing for a week's camping in Dorset.  How many towels do people take with them?  It's just me (one adult) and two young children.

Thanks for any contributions.

It also depends on how often you shower/wash.......not being flippant.

We make a bath towel last 2 showers, if we can dry it after the first shower.

So as a 'ball park figure', if you shower once a day you'll need 3 each (but I'd make that four each) + at least 1 hand towel each........but if you allow for not being able to dry the towels then it'll be 7 each + a couple of hand towels each.......but if you shower twice a day then double either of the above....arghhhhhhhh, not easy is it

We take one each, plus an extra beach towel each if there are beaches or swimming pools on the trip - and one hand towel for all 3 of us.

If we are away for more than a few days, then we wash & tumble them.

Thanks everyone (I think?).  Looks like I should put a couple more in the bag.

two for each adult one each for the kids and two for the beach then an hand towel for washing the kids before beds like already said if you know the weather is going to be good then pack accordingly but its your own preference

Asked the wife and she says 17.  Think thats more to do with thats how many towels we've got in the aircupboard at present and she will insist on taking ALL of them.
