[quote=Anonymous]We started taking the kids hiking and camping locally when the youngest was 3. We didn't want a long car ride and camping with small kids is like herding cats. They keep wanting to wander away from the campsite. For the hikes, the three year old could be carried in a backpack carrier. Now that she's 5, it's a bit easier. The kids can hike up to an hour with a break and I can trust them to explore by themselves around the campsite. But we still don't do long trips. We'll leave late Saturday afternoon, have lunch on the way, set up the tent and do an hour hike. If there's a swimming hole, they like to splash around for another hour. Then it's make dinner, s'mores and bed.[/quote]
