We haven't done a two night camp as yet, so with the weather being OK and having the weekend off work, we thought that getting away at 16:00 on the Friday, would be a good chance to see if a two night camp is worth the packing and setting up.
Having only come back from camping on the Monday we again headed back to Charoland Campsite meaning a travel time of 1 hr. I did wonder how this would go with it being Friday. We packed the car up the night before and Mandy dropped me off at work.
We did travel lighter this time with just the 3 meter pod, rain awning and the newly made rain awning sides. Other things were missed off our usual kit to take and to be honest it was great.
The well thought out facilities with the new addition of a washing up sink for tent campers was well received. The reception building houses the details for your stay and a little info for the local area.

The tent was soon up and after a cuppa we relaxed having only taken about 1hr to set everything up. Looking forward to seeing how the new rain awning sides would work and initial feeling is very well. It would most likely be better for sunnier camping trips as there are small gaps at the base of the rain awning where it meets the pod.
As the sun dipped behind the trees Mandy remarked it felt like we had been here for ages already, which was really what we would be hoping would be the feeling. Red wine flowing and Paella for tea, had us enjoying the night sky with many planets being noticed due to the clear skies.
Would we do a two night camp again.....without doubt.....but I think to get the most enjoyment it would have to be weather dependant.
As I like to keep up with weather here is the view of the temperatures noted inside the tent on this particular trip. As usual it got left in the tent on pack up so we had to go rooting inside to find it!
