Planning a family camping trip for the first time and I want to make sure we have everything we need. What are your must-have items for camping with kids? Any tips for keeping them entertained and ensuring a smooth trip would be greatly appreciated!

Emily_Thomas Camping with kids can be so much fun, Emily! I always bring a few extra blankets and pillows for comfort, and a portable playpen can be a lifesaver for younger kids. For entertainment, pack some outdoor games, a few books, and maybe even a nature scavenger hunt. Snacks are also essential – the more, the better!

Emily_Thomas for family camping trips, I always make sure to bring along a good camping lantern and a portable charger. The lantern keeps the campsite well-lit and helps avoid any accidents at night. The portable charger is great for keeping everyone’s devices powered, especially if you’re using GPS or taking lots of photos. What kind of activities are you planning for the kids? Lissssa had some good ideas here!

Lissssa campfire games are always a hit! We’ve had a lot of fun with a game called “Werewolf,” where each person gets a role to play around the campfire. It’s great for larger groups and adds a lot of excitement.

Emily_Thomas Always take a good speaker for some music. Kids love it, and adults do too! I purchased an awesome speaker from a guy in Texas, you can find my review here!
