Camping with a toddler?
Discussion
We're contemplating taking our three-year old to a music festival later this summer. I've been camping at festivals since I was a kid; my wife is less keen, but we've always had a small two-person tent without any luxuries when she's come along before and now we're contemplating getting a proper family tent and all the associated paraphernalia.
Anyone else tried it with a young family? Any advice for camping with a toddler?

Thanks all.
The festival we're contemplating is a small local one, so it's not the end of the world if the experiment goes wrong and we end up driving home halfway through. I was thinking we'd do a dry run beforehand - possibly just in the garden to make sure everyone was warm enough and stuff.
Any recommendations on tent choice? There's only three of us so we don't need anything too huge. Also not got a massive budget (cool as the tippees and stuff look). Was thinking maybe one of these: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/coleman-mosedale-5-ten...

Had a look at second hand tents, but the decent ones were surprisingly close to the new price, so intead we got one of these for £199 from Go Outdoors: https://www.vango.co.uk/gb/tents/2007-catalina-500...
It's a bit bigger than I had in mind, but it seems to be about the smallest one that allows you to stand up inside the sleeping section, comes with a divider between the two 'bedrooms' etc.
Looking forward to trying it out now. Planning to do a trial run locally somewhere before we take it to a festival.
