[quote=Anonymous]I love this thread! I’ve been camping with my kids (2+5) since my oldest was 13 months.

For young toddlers/babies/car camping: get a tent that you can fit a pack n play in as well as an air mattress. You will contain them and can use it both inside and outside.

Food: always bring a camping stove and bring instant packets of coffee...Starbucks is pretty good but Folgers will do. Just don’t forget the coffee or alcohol lol.  Also- like others said, get carry out if arriving in the evening and try not to arrive in the evening: my kids get too excited and have to burn off energy and then won’t sleep until midnight (literally) if we arrive around 7/8. Oh and definitely on pack food that you can basically eat cold or could easily be warmed in the camp stove.

Be bold, maintain an adventurous spirit, have low expectations and expect much to go wrong and you may find yourself surprised to have an incredible time!

I’m going backpacking for the 1st time this weekend with my 2 kids...we’ve done car camping but we are hiking in and setting up camp. It’s only about 2 miles from the parking lot and it’s only for 1 night but we are all pumped.

Have fun camping all![/quote]
