We're also going camping for the first time tomorrow

In addition to your list we've also got:

* A first aid kit
* Wet wipes
* Loo roll
* Sun lotion (I'm being very optimistic)
* Flip flops for the showers (or am I being overly paranoid?)
* Washing up liquid, sponge and tea towel
* Matches and lighter (you never know)
* Spare batteries for torch
* Camera

Also dont forget things like salt, pepper, ketchup, powdered milk or fresh milk if you have means for keeping it cool.

Don't forget a camping cooker or burner to make a hot drink. A bottle opener for a bottle of wine to drink whilst you watch the sun set. (Hopefully!) Have a great time.

I would take a plastic hammer rather than rubber they always seem to just bounce for me!

windbreak?

pump for the airbed - unless it is self inflating of course!
tarpaulin for the ground outside your tent to stop too much mud getting in tent.
a really good sense of humour!:D

We used to use plastic tote boxes to keep the cooking things in under the fly sheet then if it was wet everything was kept dry. We only had a two man tent so space inside was at a premium..
