Here is a handy checklist for packing for your next camping trip with your kids!
Tony and I used to go camping all the time. We did go once when Henry was about 6 months old, but 3 years later, we recently finally went on our first camping trip with our kids (3.5 and 1.5-year-old) and I don’t know why we waited so long!
Here is our packing list for the trip, and a few extra things we wish we won’t forget next time! We added a couple of suggestions from fellow travel writers/bloggers too! Thank you Kate at k8loweth on IG and Haddie from Fun Is Better Than Perfect!

Making this bin has saved us so much on packing every time. Nothing is perishable (except for a couple I noted), so you can just put it right back in storage when you get home and bring it back out when you go again! Take most of these things out of the hard packaging it comes in, and throw it in ziplock bags to save space.

Definitely don’t forget a first aid kit! It came in handy for this poor little guy.
Having packing cubes have saved us packing sanity when we travel normally, but it was also great to have for camping! Especially for the “clean” clothes, where we didn’t touch it until everyone was showered/wiped off with wipes and ready to leave the campground.

Kate was also full of suggestions for the kids!
This is our packing list for when we go camping with our two little wild toddlers. Did we miss anything? Our car is PACKED when we put all of these things in! Not sure if we would fit anything else in, but I know we used every single one of these things on our overnight trip! Leave a comment if you have any tips, would love to feature it here!
