[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving this oldish thread to ask a question about camping with littles.

Last year my wife and I went camping for the first time for each of us.  We also took our kids (now 6 and 4).  We went on a couple of 2 night trips to  primitive sites and my wife and kids loved it.  It's a mixed bag for me, primarily because I end up doing all the labor (setting up, starting the fire, hauling supplies, etc), but that's a different story.

The kids want to go again this year, but for longer trips.  I imagine 4 nights would be the max.  My question is what kind of activities do ya'll recommend to fill the days?

During our trips we did hike, play in the water, visited a couple of sites near Natural Bridge, but just curious if there's anything else we may want to think about doing around the campsite that can be somewhat low-key. I found our schedule to be pretty packed and not relaxing at all and I don't want to come back even more exhausted than the last couple of trips.[/quote]We have a “kid tent” that we set up just for them. It’s not for sleeping, just playing, and it’s one of the easy pop-up tents. Whatever toys they take get placed in there. When it’s hang out/play time, they go in the tent to play while DH and I relax (listen to music, nap, read). [/quote]
