Took the kids camping solo, not gonna lie it was rough

5d ago1 min read

Wife went to visit her parents so I packed up the three kids and headed to the state park. Setup was chaos, nobody could find sleeping bags, my 6yo decided he was terrified of bugs at 9pm. But we made it work. Spent most of Saturday just letting them run around, minimal screen time, played card games by the fire. Burnt the hot dogs obviously. My 10yo said it was the best weekend ever though, which basically made me win Dad of the Year in my own mind. Definitely doing this again. Maybe next time without the panic.

Mad respect for even attempting this. I took my two camping solo once and I aged 10 years over that weekend. But you did it and the kids probably still talk about it. That's a win.

Solo camping with three kids is basically a military operation. What went rough? The setup, bedtime, or just the general chaos of keeping three kids entertained?

Not gonna lie that's impressive. My wife would never let me try that with all three. What's your secret? Or is there no secret and you just powered through?
