I want to take the kids away camping...somewhere...almost anywhere.
Our camping gear is limited to a big-ass 12-man canvas tent, or a 2-man camping tent, or some other thing that I only set up once, big with 1000 tent pegs required.
Our sleeping bags are rated 0-5C, we spent a few cold nights down near newnes/jenolan caves last school holidays, it was unpleasant, but not intolerable.
I want to pack my 2WD car, and the "makes life easier" trailer with the esky, and camp kitchen, and go find somewhere to set up camp, that I can go bushwalking etc.
Within 6 hrs drive of Newcastle. Prefer Bush not Coast.
I am leaning towards a caravan park in Glousceter, as then I wouldn't need to bring the trailer - but am I mental or will I freeze?
I was thinking about a cabin, but @$55 p/n vs $15 p/n for a campsite, I figure I take the campsite and throw a couple of hundred toward an essential gear for warmth, ie thermals or boots for the kids.
All suggestions and advice accepted.
