Let each child carry a backpack of their favorite toys and books that they will be in charge of. Limiting them to one back pack each can help on your travel space but parents will want to add other activity toys too. Add toys to the car last so that they are the first to be unpacked when you arrive. Kids should help set up camp too but their attention span won't last long. Good family activity toys to pack include Frisbee's, butterfly net or how about a giant inflatable rubber ball as a fun camping companion.
Kids can also enjoy making a zip line ride.
These can be purchased at toy stores and tied between to big tree's. Look for a large tree at the top of a grassy slope. Kids will be excited about different sleeping arrangements. If the kids will be sleeping in a tent, pitch the tent early in the day and let your children help to arrange their sleeping bag, blankets or favorite stuffed animal. Spending time in the tent prior to bedtime can help it feel more home-like and comfortable ensuring they will sleep better through the night.
