Goodness, we did this with a 2 year old and 6 month old and it was very hard.
I think just pack in excess and make sure you bring lots of baby wipes if there are no showers.

I love the idea of the test camping in the backyard! What a great idea. I’ve been wanting to take my kids (youngest is 2) but not sure how they’d go

do a test campout in the back yard. it will not only get your child used to it but will also give you a chance to see how it goes in a controlled environment

Try to be as organised as possible.
Write a list, pack everything for easy access, zip lock bags are your friend.
Hat, sunscreen, sleeved shirts etc
Have a first aid kit, with some stingoes.

Bring activities with you

Write a list! Check it twice! Make sure you pack everything you need.

My tips – be super organised and prepared ahead of time – it will make camping so much easier and more relaxing.

Portacot, camp in a tent with a seperate room for Bub to be in, be prepared to be chasing Bub and not just relaxing!!

If you are near any water be careful your little one does not leave the tent as you sleep, it maybe a little difficult for a 1yr old. Though you may like to sleep them above you, put a clip on the zippers or put something that would make noise like bells on the zippers. But preparation is key to any camping trip.

This is about to be us. We’re ensuring plenty of quick easy meals. I also need to have physical activities in the morning and different play in the afternoon. Good luck hope it goes well.

Use a blow up kiddy pool as a play pen – full with toys (not water) so contained inside.
Buy a camping chair for kids – they love it
Have fun
