We're going camping next week with our 5 month old son. I am not sure what I need to bring to keep him comfortable and happy. We'll be in a tent, but I'm taking his pack 'n play with us, so he can sleep in it. Any hints and tips so I won't go insane next weekend? We go camping all the time, but this is the first time we're going with a baby.
It's VERY hot, so that's not a problem. I have a mosquito net that fits over the pack 'n play. I also have one of those backpack carriers I can put him in. I didn't even think of that! Thank you for reminding me... lol

Good for you!! Lots of parents would never think of camping with a baby but I think it's great. My parents took me camping when I was 6 weeks old!! I plan on taking our daughter, now 5 1/2 months, this summer. (I'm assuming it's warm where you are. We got 6 inches of snow last night, so no camping yet!)
The pack 'n' play's an awesome idea. Do you have a mosquito/bug net that fits over the top? What about a sunshade? If not, a white sheet will do. Babies can't use bug spray.
Suntan lotion, unscented if possible to keep the bugs away
An extra dishpan (rubbermaid type) for baths
LOTS of baby clothes, facecloths, towels
A baby carrier like a sling, wrap, snugli or baby bjorn. If you don't have one, get one!! At 5 months old if your boy has good neck control you might even be able to get a back-carrying hiker-style one. The hiker one will probably last you another season, to about 40 lbs.
Lots of toys that can be washed. Keep the stuffed animals at home or only in the tent
The stroller to double as a high chair
Have an awesome time!!

Blue987
I've grown up "camping" however it was always in a jumbo motor home. Next weekend I'm going tent camping and I want to be prepared. This is what I'm bringing... what else will I need?
Our site has water and electric, and bathrooms and showers close by:
Bringing:
tents
sleeping bags/pillow
small grill and propane
cooler with food/water
towels
plates/utensils/grill utensils
bug spray and sunscreen
clothes/ flip flops / sneakers / swimsuit / toiletries
flashlights
deck of cards
fire wood - will buy there
lighter
What else might I need? Temp will be high of 90 during the day, low of 59 at night. Possibility of rain at night
Thanks!

Oh yikes, it's VERY uncomfy sleeping on a sleeping bag in a tent on the ground PLEASE buy a mat or air mattress to put underneath your sleeping bag.
remember to place a tarp under the tent. and to check for big rocks/ sticks where you're going to put your tent.
