I would also use take a citronella candle if allowed or a electronic bug zapper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-lo-camping-at-a-lake#post-988169 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 10:08:47 +0000 Corduroy 988169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's just started to sit up and roll back to front.

DH and I are excited for our first overnight with LO. LO will be 6 months when we go and she hasn't been in the water yet. </p> <p>I'm from CA where there aren't a lot of lakes. What do I need to know about babies &amp; lakes? </p> <p>Any general sunshade recommendations and baby camping tips are appreciated. </p>
