First time camper - what do I need??

[edthedead]

My daughter who is 5 really wants me to take her camping and I am quite keen too!! But, I haven't camped since school which was a good few years ago now! It will only be me and her while the wife stays at home with the little one, I'm definately not brave enough to take a 6 month old camping (yet??!)

I have found a nice looking site which isn't too far from home if it all goes wrong and does 2 night stays, I have also found a place nearby that hires out tents and other stuff. Here come the questions!

I am looking at a 4/6 man tent so we have plenty of space if it rains, is there any disadvantage to this?

I can hire a table & chairs, sleep mats and lights from the camping place and we have sleeping bags... there is a fire pit on each pitch and you can buy logs there. Other than food/drink etc what else I am likely to need?

How do you keep cold food, milk etc from going off, is there normally a communal fridge or something?

This is the site www.hiddenspring.co.uk , anyone been?

Thanks in advance!!
