[quote=Anonymous]We finally took our two kids camping this summer and it was a big success. They are 7 and 5, old enough to hike 3 miles and hold it to walk with mom to the bathroom...we got a very big tent and inflatable mattresses, princess sleeping bags and a portable DVD player. Usual gear, camp stove, dishpan, good cooler and a small rubbermaid bin to lug food & cooking gear back and forth from the car. Before that we always got a hotel room (or a cabin or vacation rental.) Little kids have issues with comfort (heat regulation in summer, biting bugs, scared of the dark etc.) and I had issues with sanitation myself - i.e. not wanting to deal with dirty diapers, showers in a camp bathhouse, washing dishes with a baby crying etc. Saw a family at Assateague with a couple of kids and a baby. In the sand and the heat of the campsite the baby (in a playpen) and mom looked miserable. The dad was drinking a beer in his camp chair, he seemed to be having a good time. [/quote]
