We actually got sent our own family camping tent which was actually perfect for us, 3 bedrooms and a great living space , really happy with it !.
So I booked in for the night at Higher Whitemore Farm in Biddulph which is only 25 minutes drive from us.
It is definitely a back to basic camp site , which was what I was looking for . £20 per night and situated on a farm which was perfect.It had a portaloo with a sink and running water so easy access for a quick wash and teeth brushing in the morning too.
We arrived at 12pm and set up our tent up , the sun was shining and we were all so excited for our first camp out!.
We played tons of games.I beat Alessia a million times at UNO, it’s our favourite card game ever. We played snakes and ladders and coloured with our music on.
We had a picnic lunch in the tent which I had prepared at home and then Alessia helped me cook sausages for tea- sausage and cheese baps with plenty of ketchup, they were lush.
The girls went and explored the rocks and played tag whilst I cleaned up and got the s’mores ready. This was the moment they had been waiting for :)
The stove I got was from Argos , £18.00 and it is brilliant , honestly the perfect camping stove and such a bargain. We ended up going to Halfords to buy the gas cans for it and they were only £2.50 each!.
The s’mores were SO good and we were completely stuffed!. We went for a walk to see the farm animals before heading back for tea and biscuits and snuggling up in our sleeping bags with a movie .
I charged 2 power banks so we were fully stocked up on battery :)
It was probably the worst night sleep of my life ha!, but the girls woke up so happy and it really did melt my heart .
We packed up and played outside with stomp the rocket which is really cool and great for kids . You stomp on the foot pedal which transports air to the rocket and it shoots up , we spent ages playing with it and trying to catch the rocket .
Our first camping trip was definitely a success and we can’t wait to plan our next adventure :)
