Al-fresco cooking and wood-burning hot-tubs on a glam family camping escape

Inside every grown man is a small boy with a box of matches burning to get out.

And on a luxury camping weekend away, that boy is not only given the chance of a lifetime – he actually has to start several fires a day if he wants his wife and children to eat and get in the hot-tub.

That, at least, is what I discover within minutes of arriving at the idyllic Layer Marney Tower country estate in rural Essex, where six spacious family encampments have been established at suitably private intervals among the trees.

The main tent – with a solid wood floor, three sleeping areas, and a large living room with a long dining table – as well as a second children’s play and research tent, and a shower cabin, are already fully set up, saving us from hours of camp-building (and providing a rather plusher camping experience than I had been expecting).

But there is still plenty to explain. Most of it fire-related.

As my wife Janet and children Imogen, six, Tom, three, and Barnaby, one, begin exploring our picturesque camp, holiday rep Christine Witney explains: ‘This is the wood-burning stove in your tent…this is the outside wood-burning stove…and this is the wood-fired hot tub.’

A blizzard of details on how to light, fuel, and safely use these various fires for cooking food, boiling a giant kettle for washing up and warming a huge volume of bathing water, then ensue, before Christine gestures to an ash-covered area on a small clearing in the woodland.

‘And this,’ she said, ‘is where you can make an open fire.’

As if three potential fires already was not enough.

At first it seems a little daunting, four pairs of eyes look at me expectantly, I am meant to be Chief Provider after all. But despite some scouting experience I have trouble remembering how exactly to use kindling keep a fire going, I curse my cosy urban lifestyle and central heating for leaving me ill-prepared.

But within minutes of arriving, daughter Imogen has already found the setting perfect enough to declare: ‘This is my best holiday EVER.’
