Hi, we are planning on taking the family camping this summer for a week and have found a nice camp site near Newquay.

We have never been camping before, well not in a tent anyway.

First of all, will the weather be better at the start of August (1-15th) , or the end of August? or will it just be the same?. I should have said would there be much rain or sun

Now, what are the essentials that we should take?

So far i have come up with a 6man tent for 2 adults, 1 child (6years), and 2 teenagers ( our little brothers).
Clothes (waterproof jackets etc , but we will try and pack lightly as theres washing machines on site).
Disposable BBQ'S.
Money

My brother wants to take a portable TV , not sure why as we plan on being out most of the time, and i think taking the PSP with a selection of films will be adequate.

An extension lead? to charge our phones.
a travel kettle.
a gas stove.
cheap pots etc from ikea
Some form of lighting ( not sure where to get these from)

Sleeping bags and airbeds ( might just get airbeds and take duvets to save on cost).

If theres anything i have missed can you tell me?

thanks

Sorry i forgot to mention that this campsite lets you have an electric hookup, or an electric hookup with water and drainpipe.

Which would be suitable for a tent?

If we do not get the drain and water, would this mean we would have to walk to the main water supply on the park? this is no big deal but i presumed that the drain and water supply would be better suited to a caravan rather than a tent?

many thanks
