Camping with Kids

[familyfun]

This past summer we took two trips to FrontierTown Ocean City Maryland.
They offer a water park and golfing range, bus ride into Ocean City Inlet, you can buy campfire wood out on the highway, they have a launching ramp for your boat, you can bring your bicycles instead of renting a golf cart.

Camping with your family that is the best time they will ever remember. Activities during the days, card games and campfires at night. :D

My husband and I are both new to RVing. We bought a used travel trailer last fall and got to take it on only one trip so far. I am very excited about this summer. We have a 19 mo. old and a 4 yr. old girls. Does anyone have any helpful hints for camping with toddlers?

Stash away some little games and toys that are from home and some that are new that you can get out for rainy days or times when you need to distract or keep busy. We have designated RV toys. Each child has a bucket or little stuff. Our daughter has Polly Pockets and our son has a few super heros and cars. There is also coloring books and games. Then of course the regular buckets and shovels and beach type toys.
Huggies makes some disposable washcloths with soap in them, we love those for camping.
We started camping in a tt with the kids when they were 4 and almost 2.
They are now 8 and 5 and a half. They love camping and do with alot less than at home. They get there is only so much room and you can take little things vs big things.
Even if your older one is good with an open cup... consider using straw cups or even travel cups in a camper... juice spills is one big ant invasion invitation.
If you keep them from wearing shoes in the camper you'll keep dirt down. No in and out every 2 minutes stuff.
Give the older child a job to help with packing or check lists... like hold the flash light or the check list or bringing in a pillow or two.
Have fun!!!
