Planning a weekend camping trip and I'm stressed

R

2w ago1 min read

First time taking the family camping and I'm probably overthinking this way too much. Got a tent, sleeping bags, some basic stuff planned. Anyone have tips for keeping kids entertained when there's no wifi or screens? And how much food should I actually pack because I have no idea what I'm doing. My wife thinks I'm crazy for stressing about this but I just want it to be fun for everyone.

You're gonna do great, man. First camping trip is always nerve-wracking but honestly the kids won't care if everything is perfect. We've done plenty of trips where stuff went sideways and they still talk about it as the best weekend ever.

Make sure you've got some good firewood and maybe a simple card game or something for downtime. Kids remember the small stuff way more than the perfect setup.

The bedtime routine is actually way easier when you're camping because everyone's tired from being outside all day. That's been my secret weapon on family trips.
