We went camping with my extended family for our summer holiday. Same as we have nearly every year for the last decade.

When I tell people that our holiday is camping in an unserviced field in Dorset reactions usually range from horror to bemusement.

"Camping??? like in a tent?"

No sun beds, palm trees and unlimited Pina Coladas?

A lot of people don't consider camping a holiday - but they are wrong.

Tonight i'm going to explain why.
