- Is it right for your family?
- This trip is not for very young children as quite a lot of driving is involved, although there are several two night stops and opportunities to relax. You'll have to put up/take down your own tents, but a camp assistant does all other camp chores including the cooking. All you need are sleeping bags - which can be hired locally if necessary.
