Camping-

With a 20m old— what’s the thing I should make sure not to forget?! Not trying to over-do it, but would love to hear any of your ideas, favorites, or lessons learned 😉 Thanks!

Depends whereabouts you're going. I live in the UK so I carry clothes for pretty much every weather especially gear and clothes/shoes that'll stay dry and warm. I'll sacrifice space for his toys etc to make enough space for it. Camping can be horrible if you're cold/wet. Also if you've never camped with your lo before just camp out in your backyard once to get a feel of how it'll be like.

@Akansha thanks!

Collapsible laundry baskets - I use one to store toys (only toys you can wash mega blocks are great) and one for dirty clothes because toddlers live to pull things everywhere. I take a collapsible bath, crocs, oil radiator if you’ve got electric & some sort of lamp/night light. I think that’s the only changes I’ve added since taking a little one camping! Enjoy! X

Baskets to put things in, picnic blankets for the ground, kids camping chair. Plenty of clothes as if you’re camping you can’t wash stuff that gets sick/poo on. I brought a foam change mat as his rolly mat, and a wearable big sleeping bag for nighttime’s

The heater is an essential piece of gear when you have a little one. When my son was 5 months old, we started camping together. I can't imagine a night without a heater.

Eye mask and foam earplugs. Torches and decent pillows. Small gazebo in addition to tent to cook underneath if it rains.
