We recently saw a Facebook group post with mums sharing their essential family camping packing lists and we thought we would share it so everyone can ensure they’ve got everything they need for the perfect family camping trip to Cedar Valley.
Self inflating mattress – try Vango
The perfect pegs – hang everything you can
Camping toilet for night time use!!
Clothes line to hang towels up to dry
Flask to put boiled water into so you don’t have to warm up water for another cuppa
Water barrel with easy opener for hand washing
Camping tables and chairs
Flip flops for showering
Hooded towels to walk kids to and from showers in – change in tent, no taking clothes to/from showers
Small camping stove, maybe one with a couple of rings.
A proper pillow.
Picnic mat, or something similar, to put just outside the tent.
A windbreak to give a little privacy and protect you from wind, especially when you’re cooking
Some lanterns to hang up for light in the evenings
Plenty of fleecy blankets – it does get cold at night no matter how nice it is during the day.
Toilet paper
Solar lights, torches, solar battery charger – Lots of torches/lights as they always seem to disappear when you need them.
Plastic crockery
Flip flops for showers
Wet wipes
Bin bags and loads of towels to dry the tent (and you) if it rains
Buckets / spades / toys / games
Booze, baileys /coffee/ hot chocolate, bottled water, air tight tubs for food.
Boxes to store everything in – they stack easily and keep everything dry!
Blankets/mat for under air beds!
Extra bottles for water.
More tea towels than you think you will need.
Mozzie stuff
Sun cream
Waterproofs
Hats (warm/cold)
