I’ll tell you a secret: Your kids don't care if you bring the foldable kitchen or if your picnic table has a tablecloth. They don’t need clean clothes every day, complicated toys, or fancy meals.

Things to bring camping – family camping essentials!

Kids are surprisingly tough and as long as they’re safe, they’re fine on the floor of a camper, sharing a mattress, or squeezed into a tent.

1. What will you sleep in?

I prefer to sleep in regular bedding (sheets and a comforter). The kids use sleeping bags. We bring extra blankets if needed and pillows from our beds.

2. What should you pack for sleeping gear?

As for all the other tools, try to stick to the bare minimum.  Remember that you can wash dishes and re-use them instead of packing more.

3. What should you pack for camping cooking and eating

Throw all the other random family camping essentials into your camping tubs too. You know, the bug spray, flashlights, matches, and first aid kit.

4. What about all that other camping stuff?
