    I've been camping in some very basic spots with the little ones so I've developed a very relaxed attitude to dirt. Let it be your friend and you'll have a much happier time I couldn't care less if they were in a grotty tshirt for a couple of days. In fact it will make your return home a lot easier because you'll have to work your butt off washing everything so less work for you!

    Trish has a lot of it covered but I'd say even if they have toilets I'd still take a potty or a little camping toilet. For night time toilet trips or if he gets a bit put off from the smell from the public ones (like mine did) it might be a godsend.
    Some of that antiseptic handwash is a good idea for piece of mind.

    ETA if you're sleeping on a blow up mattress be aware that overnight you get rising cold coming up from the ground and it can really chill you. Insulating with a woollen blanket or one of those foil thermo thingos (sorry not sure of proper name) helps with that.
