First time camping with kids, lessons learned, beware of pitfalls

It's the time of the year when spring is in the air, and you want to take your kids outdoors! Today, I'm sharing my experience of the first time camping with kids, which was 'a bit of joy and a bit of a disaster' - for sisters who want to camp overnight with kids👭! Take note! Equipment I wanted to camp overnight with the kids during the summer vacation, afraid that the equipment would turn into 'one-time use', so I opted for a bag-carrying camping experience. It turned out to be the right decision. 💡Advice: Beginners should first experience it to see if it suits them, and then decide whether to buy equipment or not. In addition to one-stop campsites🏕️, you can also look for family-friendly group activities. Campsite I've seen many beautiful campsites before, but since I was taking my child alone, I needed it to be safe, convenient, with plenty of restrooms, snacks for sale, and entertainment. 💡Advice: Go to a well-established campsite with lots of people, having a place for kids to play is very important, after all, adults can sit and daydream all day at the campsite, but kids can't. Season We went during the hottest part of summer, which might also be the key reason I'm put off camping again, 40 degrees really melted us🫠... Both kids and adults had bright red faces. And it was very cold at the campsite at night... it was quite a suffering. 💡Advice: Late spring, early summer, early autumn, it varies from place to place, do more homework. Sun protection + Warmth Daytime: Sunscreen🧴, hats🧢, sun-protective clothing👔, be fully prepared. Night: Long sleeves, long pants, sleeping bags, blankets, pay attention to keeping warm, as there's a big temperature difference between day and night. Sleep💤 It was my first time 'sleeping outdoors', even though it was inside a tent, but the surrounding chicken crows, dog barks🐶, the campsite near the road, the noise was especially loud at midnight, and the sound of the wind blowing the tent, it was all live broadcast... 💡Advice: It doesn't affect kids much, but adults should bring earplugs and eye masks. Others ✔️Bring toys for the kids. Sand digging toys, water toys, anything to keep them from getting bored... ✔️Bring clothes for the kids. Long sleeves, short sleeves, long pants, short pants, bring them all. ✔️Mosquito and insect repellent. Mosquito nets, mosquito coils, mosquito repellent. ✔️Electronics. Chargers, power banks, small fans, power strips, night lights. ✔️Snacks. All kinds of conveniently packaged snacks, bring plenty and don't worry about having too much... there's really nothing around the campsite, some snacks that they don't like at home, they actually taste really good when you're eating outdoors... Overall, it was a nice experience, but next time I might not choose to stay overnight, or at least find a quiet place!!
