[quote=Anonymous]Most certainly an additional adult/caregiver would make things easier.  With that said, there is no reason children that age should not go camping.  Newsflash--Two year olds do not need special food.

I'm the oldest of five.  My parents took us camping from an early age, the newest member of the family always included even if a baby.  Some of my best memories are of camping as a family.  Now that we are older all 5 of us are still very close as are our kids, i.e., the cousins.  I truly believe it is from spending time together as we did growing up.

When we were very young my parents would choose campgrounds fairly close to home and ones that had more amenities.  Such as a pool and playground.  Once the younger ones passed the toddler stage we starting going further afield including camping trips to Yellowstone, Tetons, Yosemite, etc.  I have fond memories of hiking, swimming, canoeing, sitting around the camp picnic table playing games into the evening by the light of camp lanterns and of course the traditional campfire after dark.  My mother had "camp meals" which became staples during our trips.  We all slept well.  It was an adventure to be looked forward to.  I wouldn't trade any of those camping trips.[/quote]
