I don’t think you’ve lost your mind at all, Abbey! The first time camping is usually the most challenging… but also so fun. I bet you’ll make so many great memories together!
As for the camping mat, if you google patio mat you should find lots of options. They’re more common with people who RV because they take up some room. They definitely cut down on the dirt tracked inside the tent, though!!

I love the idea of giving children chores to keep them busy while setting up the site. I’ve never been camping with small children, but I can see how that could be difficult!

Great tips! We also live in Oregon and camp every summer. Even though we’ve done it many times, you still listed some ideas I had never thought of. The bat watching thing is genius! And my art loving kids will have a blast making maps this year!

In reply to Jenjo Games. Jenjo, I'm so glad it's helpful! You're right, there is a lot to think of and keep track of when camping with kids. That's why it's so much easier to rely on articles so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. I hope these family camping activities gave you some good ideas!
