If you camp regularly with young children, are there any issues or problems you face in any area of it that could be addressed?

Lol. It's mental wi little uns. But they love it. Tiring & stressy at times, but they grow into proper outdoor kids. As long as they eat & sleep well & are warm enough. Basics really

Get them involved. Our boy has been camping since he was about 1 1/2. He’s 11 now. He loves it but he knows he has jobs when camping.

Filling water bottles
Collecting fire wood (Chechen he’s not stealing from a wood pile)
Helping (watching me) wash up
Helping pitch and pull down tent.

Getthem involved, they will love it.

Depends how old, I take my 8 year old (mum stays at home) - once he finds other kids to play with he is off - so bit stressful for a while as you accept he needs a bit of freedom and responsibility (does not stop me taking a peak now and again). Find most parents look out for each other’s children.

Gaffa tape comes in useful and a bottle,or two, of wine when they do finally go to sleep. I bought a 2 berth caravan to ensure we had no room for any of our 6 delightful grandchildren. Just my wife and I and our beloved dog. Iknow, I'm a miserable old grouch
