We go tent camping (pre baby it was back packing or canoe trips) every summer. It's so important to get out of the city. The little guy will be 4 or5 months when we go this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2112022 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:40:18 +0000 MapleMoose 2112022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went on multiple camping trips every summer growing up. Loved it! I have 2 under 2 and am not ready to take them camping yet but I imagine summer 2016 we'll take a trip or two. Right now it's easier to take them to our beach house when they are so young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2111868 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:30:56 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2111868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is actually a great idea for this summer! I think our kids would have a blast. I can't say it's my favorite but if it's just for a night or two, yeah I can deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2111796 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:55:39 +0000 yellowbird 2111796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love camping!!! I highly doubt we'll be doing it with a 2 year old and a newborn though. Maybe in a couple of years </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2111710 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:14:40 +0000 shellio 2111710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Camping as a group is so much fun! We love tent camping but I don't know if we'll go this summer. We took older DS when he was about 18 mos, and went a few more times that summer. The next summer we had the younger DS and at 8-10 mos, I wasn't sure how he would do sleeping in the same room (big tent) with the rest of us. My fears were confirmed when we all slept in a hotel room together at 13 mos... not good. We might try again this summer as he will be 19 mos+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2111486 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:33:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 2111486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family LOVES camping, I'm much more of a "glamping" kind of girl. I'll go, but it's not really a vacation for me when I have to cook/clean/rough it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2111455 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:17:16 +0000 Mrs. J 2111455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are probably going to take our 16 month old camping this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2111440 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:10:29 +0000 Miss Ariel 2111440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up camping each summer and loved it.

We already went on a one night camping trip in February. We plan on going on a lot of weekend trips plus one big week long trip. </p> <p>We've been taking our son camping since he was 3 months old. When he was nursing he slept right next to me. That first trip at 3 months old was the hardest in terms of sleep because he was still nursing every few hours. After that he slept in the pack n play and now he sleeps on a little cot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110234 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:26:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2110234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: right! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110233 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:26:24 +0000 Mamaof2 2110233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: then the answer is no way! :silly: </p> <p>My brothers family "camps" but its in a camper, with beds, and lights, and tables, and a/c - THAT I can do :happy: (but its not really camping unless your in a tent and have to sleep in a sleeping bag </p> <p>My 6 yr old would LOVE to camp - I told DH he should take him this summer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110230 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:25:11 +0000 mediagirl 2110230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: don't you mean "are you going camping or are you going "glamping?" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110228 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:24:41 +0000 mrbee 2110228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: We only have a tent!

We're going to try it out this summer with our daughter who will be 3. Thankfully she is in a bed now so we can do it comfortably. We weren't comfortable doing it with her in a crib. </p> <p>We used to camp with some friends before we had kids and this year we're going to get them to go with us again (they are childfree). yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110210 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:16:20 +0000 youboots 2110210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and yes. My profile icon is us with our 78 Westfalia bus. My parents bought it before I was born, and we lived in it as a family in Europe for 4 months. All of my possessions fit in a cubby. They gifted it to M and I several years back. We will camp with our daughter this summer when she is a few months old. Many of my favorite memories as a kid were long road trips and camping in the van. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110195 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:11:47 +0000 Peasinapod 2110195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would really like to since I love camping. But I can't quite figure out the logistics with two dogs and an under 1year old baby for sleep. Do ppl normally put a pnp in the tent? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camping-with-kids-in-the-summer#post-2110135 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:45:42 +0000 mrbee 2110135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're starting to think about what we're going to do this summer, especially now that the weather is a bit warmer.</p> <p>The kids LOOOVED going camping last summer, so we're definitely going to go again. Some good friends of ours expressed interest in camping together, so maybe we'll make it a group trip. Can't decide if this is a great idea or the worst idea ever.</p> <p>Did you grow up going camping in the summer? Any plans to go camping with the kids this year? </p>
