Plan a Camping Trip With Young Children

You've never camped with the children and the mental image is rain, tears and a forgotten torch. This plans the trip properly: a family-friendly campsite, what to pack that you wouldn't normally bring, how to handle meals and bedtime, so the first time out is a story they want to repeat rather than a one-off you regret.
