Camping with children can be an exciting experience for both of you as well as for them. It allows you to appreciate nature and how to take care of it. It also allows children to experience a new level of simplicity in their lives.

Your post is great! Kids love to have fun and they have so much energy to spend all day. Then I found your article and I’m now having the idea to bring my child camping. These will be fun!

One other thing that I found with our kids is that it was a great time to practice cooperating with each other. They have separate bedrooms at home, but we all slept in the same tent and had to work together to get the tent set up so we had someplace to sleep that night! Also working together to get meals made, dishes done, fire pit started. I also love the lack of wifi and re-connecting with my husband and kids! I went camping almost every summer with my family, as a child, and want to pass that on to my kids.

In reply to Jenny @ Unremarkable Files. Ahhhh, potty training accidents while camping don't sound so enjoyable! Good thing we skipped camping during that time frame. And, yes, camping is cheap! Which is great for our cheap family too.

We go camping as a family – because it’s cheap and so are we! Actually, we do because everyone I meet who went camping as a child has fond memories of it. It’s nice to be together with no distractions and (hopefully) no Wi-Fi. Time stops for a couple of days as you just play outside and have S’mores every night. Just don’t let your toddler sleep with you on your air mattress if you are AT ALL unsure of their ability to stay dry until morning!

In reply to Alisha. Ha. We got our tent as a wedding present too! My brother got it for us, and it's actually a really nice tent! We just bought a second one for our kids this last time we went. And a checklist is a good idea, though we don't actually have that many camping supplies, as we usually go with other people who have all the grills and awesome camping supplies. Because camping with friends is always extra fun!

You’re totally right. Camping is so great for families. My husband and I got a tent for our wedding and we have never opened the box. Sad right? My 5 month old is a tough sleeper so I think we will wait till she’s older but I want to start getting supplies ready. I don’t suppose you have a checklist? 🙂
