Can anybody give me any tips about going on a camping holiday in the UK please? I'm completely new to camping so basic info would help thanks, like what to take etc. Also, what are hook-ups at campsites?

i thinik hook ups are for caravans and maybe trailer tents, for electricity
take some food as campsite shops are expensive, and a torch for night time

Click here to get lots of good advice.
Hook-ups are for providing mains electricity.......always be careful with any heat source especially in a tent.
Get as big a tent as you can afford with plenty of headroom.  If you're motoring pack camp beds to keep yourself off the floor. An extra "bedroom" can be used as a toilet tent with a porta-potti.
Great adventure and freedom off the beaten track.  Hope you love it!!

On top of all the previous excellent I would say that something for underneath you sleeping bag is essential and often overlooked. A camp bed (as suggested above) is good but A rolled up piece of foam (usually under a fiver in camping shops) works well too. If you have this (and a woolly hat � even in summer) you�ll be snug as a bug in a rug. We started camping with a tent, sleeping bags (we didn�t bother with the foam and regretted it!) a stove and a tin of beans. Once we decided we were going to go again we started buying more things (cool boxes, small foldable table, picnic chairs etc.). Oh�a TORCH!! Don�t forget to take a torch. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
