I'm hoping to start a camping thread of some sort with tips and ideas of camping with little ones (and bigger ones!). Camping/caravan ground recommendations too. It's one thing to read a review from a mag or paper, but sometimes it's quite another to hear feedback from someone with a family actually experiencing it.
DH and I have been camping a couple of times, just the two of us, and we're about to embark on our first camping trip with DD, who will be 20 months when we go. I'm eager to hear your stories of great spots, clean facilities and friendly locals, so we can keep doing this, Australia wide.
