[quote=Anonymous]I just follow the instructions on the sleeping bag in terms of washing them. More expensive ones have specific requirements, where the cheap ones can definitely just go in the washer and dryer.

Make sure your air mattress doesn't need electricity to inflate (unless you have a power source at the camp site). I have the ones that you step on to deflate/inflate to about 6".

With the sleeping bags, keep the bags they come in. Do not roll the sleeping bags to get them back in the case--that will eventually create different places with stuffing and have hot and cold spots when you use it in a few years. Instead just stuff it into the bag and close the bag.

So long as you keep the tent fly closed, you will not have mosquitos in your tent. Tent camping is much less buggy if you follow the rules. Wear a hat/head scarf to keep ticks off.

I would assume all parts are there, but have a back up plan in case they aren't.

Make sure you all bring a second pair of closed toed shoes in case one gets wet. Change socks or take them off before bed.

If the kids have never slept outside before, sometimes glow sticks both in the tent and on their person at night help them acclimate to the darkness.

Don't lean anything or person on the side of the tent!!! Like stay 2" away from every side. Once a side is touched, the dew will seep in and will make anything in that area soaked.

Have fun! Relax...ask for help as needed.
