Skolly is never my man for anything
Yes some facilities I believe, showers, use of a fridge/freezer and mobile phone charging point (though I will take my small powerbank anyway)
Power bank deffo. Torch or camping light, beer, tea coffee, bacon, travel pots, knife fork etc, cups, A bowl for washing up/carrying pots. You don't need loads. Even less without kids.
We've a dual stove and grill if you want to borrow it (with gas). Got some other bits if you let me know, I'll go looking in the garage.
Camping chair., maybe small camping table for the cooker, saves bending.

Air bed or the self inflating smaller mats. I'd need a double bed these days with my back

My little gas burner thingy has its own starter, I assume its only good for boiling water for brews.
Biggest thing is I don't know what to expect once I'm there, need to chat to a few of the people that are going too.
And stock up on pot noodles

The little burner will cook anything. Good advice is when making a meal at home, freeze any extras and take that. Eg spag bol. Freeze the bol, then take pasta. Take it frozen in a cooler box. For two days thats enough.

Insect repellent for spraying on you
Fly spray. Do the inside of your tent and zip it up before going to the pub.
I bloody hate being bitten and can’t sleep if there is anything buzzing in the tent.
Earplugs
Antihistamines in case you turn out to be allergic to camping.
Inflatable cheese board.
(one of these may not be entirely serious)

When selecting where to pitch a tent, experienced campers use the 4 W:
Water. Close enough to collect but not in or on it. Keep a safe distance from toilet block.
Wind. Enough to vent your tent but too much will disturb your neighbours
Wood. To burn.
Widowmakers. Dont camp under trees that will fall down or next to noisy amourous couples.
