What to Pack for Camping Trips With Kids
We’ve updated this list to ensure all of our picks are consistent across guides and added recommendations for first aid kits, camp towels, and more.
Sleeping cozily and comfortably in the great outdoors is goal one of any family camping trip—and, admittedly, a challenge. It’s impossible to guarantee everyone will get a great night’s sleep (and, let’s be honest, that’s unlikely). But it should be excitement—not cold, bugs, or the rocky ground—that keeps the kids awake.
Essentials
Family tent
Choosing a reliable tent that’s easy to set up and big enough for everyone to get a good night’s sleep is the first step to successful family car-camping adventures.

Spacious and easy to pitch, this dome tent also has other features most families need: two large doors, roomy vestibules, and an affordable price. The tradeoffs: bulky fiberglass poles and flimsy stakes.

Kids sleeping bag
A good kids bag will keep a child warm and dry—and may work for sleepovers as well as nights under the stars.

Sleeping pad
A sleeping pad offers cushioning and insulation, crucial to keeping cozy when you’re tenting out. Most kids don’t need a fancy pad; before buying a new pad, consider whether an old exercise mat, a small futon, or an air mattress might do the job.

Headlamp
Many kids love having their own headlamp. It’s indispensable when you’re making s’mores—or making your way to the outhouse in the middle of the night—and it’s fun for reading under the covers and hiding out in closets at home as well.

Lantern
A compact, LED lantern offers more power with less fuss than larger, traditional camping models. It’ll light your picnic table, and it’s lightweight enough to hang from the ceiling of most tents.
