Ok mummyroysof3 a sensible suggestion this time. Sounds like children involved in this trip so bring some board games to play. Can be a good way of having everyone doing something together, after dinner and before bedtime.

We take tea, coffee, hot chocolate and sugar. I also buy the bulk packs of capri sun for the kids from Iceland. Cereal, loaf of bread, marmite, jam, baked beans, multi-packs of crisps. We buy things like milk, eggs, bacon and butter in a little store when we arrive. I take salt and pepper with me.

Washing up liquid, tea towels, toilet rolls and bath towels. I also take my own pillows. Oh and not forgetting the most important thing, a bottle of Hendricks gin

If you do have to take bed linen, fold it to fit the back seat and sit on it, saves room in the boot. Things that don't matter if they get creased can be put in bin bags and squashed in any gaps in the car. We always took the kids wellies then if they want a paddle but the sea is cold their feet keep reasonably warm.

my favourite frying pan for breakfast time The ones in the caravan are rubbish.

I take a pack of ready made cupcakes, small bag of icing sugar and decorating bits so the kids can do some cake decorating , we have a competition to see who makes the best one

Bingo pens for the mummy bingo ,if crayons are not your thing

Have a nice holiday x

.... and something for a pack up for lunch

If you're doing a picnic lunch take something to put sandwiches etc., into ie tupperware containers (do they still do tupperware?!) or sandwich bags.

Take lots of old carrier bags, apart from using them for rubbish, they're handy for storing wet shoes/boots, they hang from cupboard doors so they're good for putting flannels, soap, shampoo etc into. When you have dirty washing, fold it up (takes up less space) and put it into carrier bags, it's kept away from your clean stuff and you won't have sand or mud all over your suitcase.

Don't forget things like a washing-up sponge or cloth and teatowels. And always take blankets or duvets, caravans can be very cold, we spent a weekend in Weymouth, all sleeping in the same bed to keep warm! :rotfl:

I know it's heavy, but try to gather up as much small change as you can to take with you. If you have coppers and small coins ready, you won't be tempted to change a fiver or a tenner in the ubiquitous arcades that seem to surround caravan parks!

Have a lovely time, I luuuuuurrrrrvvveee caravan holidays!
