We have done it before…but it has been almost 2 years. We will be tent camping with a 2 1/2 and 5 year old. We got a site with both electrical and water hookup. Any tips would be great, thanks!
we’ll be at the beach.
In a few weeks, I am going camping with my boyfriend who has been camping for years. He also goes hiking, hikes to his campsite (which is really in the middle of the woods), sets up camp, and enjoys himself. He has a lot of gear and said he will bring me a sleeping bag and a tent (that fits both of us), but that I would need to take car of a backpack and some hiking boots.
I purchased both recently, and am getting pretty excited. However, I am not sure what else I should bring…. food? Specific clothes? If we go soon, and it is New England spring weather, should I bring shorts or pants for camping? Should I only bring my new hiking boots? What do you wear to bed? I also plan on bringing a water bottle, but I don’t know what else I should do.
