I have been in two minds about this campsite ever since it came out. On the one hand, I really wanted the tents and the woman klicky; but on the other hand, I thought that €30 was too much for two tents and one klicky. I did not like the campfire.
But then I had a birthday. And I believe that Birthday Money is for things that I would not usually buy. And so I bought this.
And I love the campfire!!
I haven't got any batteries for it yet, so I haven't yet seen it lit up. But I like it just the way it is, anyway. It's so much nicer than I thought.
Out of the other accessories, I'm really pleased with a new map, and the red torch, and more sausages on sticks. Oh, and the very dark grey storage boxes (which are on the log, in the photo below); they have 'Camp' stickers to apply to the side, though I didn't put mine on, because I want to use them for non-camping scenes.
And there are sleeping bags too, and two more of my favourite style of children's rucksacks.
I knew that I wanted the woman klicky, but the children are very nice also. The girl has freckles, and I love the boy's jeans with his bare feet. Talking of bare feet, though, no sandals are included in this set - which might be disappointing for a child who wants the kids to be able to do things where footwear is conventionally worn.
One thing is a little puzzling to me, though. I understand why there is an axe included; it's to chop the wood needed for the campfire. But why is there a knife?? It made me think of the pleasant scene turning into a Campsite Horror movie...
I've taken the knife away now. All is well.
And if I'd known how much I would like this set, I would have bought it ages ago!
