First time camping with kids this summer - what am I forgetting?

2w ago1 min read

Planning a 3 day trip to a state park with my 5 and 8 year old. Got the tent, sleeping bags, some food ideas. My buddy says I'm gonna regret not bringing a portable camp stove but honestly the provided fire pit seemed like enough? Also is there a trick to keeping kids entertained besides just throwing them in the woods? This is either gonna be amazing or a total disaster

Wet wipes and a good cooler are clutch. Also bring way more snacks than you think you need because hungry kids are grumpy kids in a tent.

Don't forget a first aid kit and a headlamp for each kid. Three days goes fast and you'll be glad when someone needs a bandage at night.

Honestly just get some good rope and a tarp for backup shelter. Weather can turn quick and you'll feel better having a backup plan.
