Traveling with Children
1. If you camp in national parks, take advantage of the many free ranger-led activities offered by the National Park Service.
2. Keeping a rug or old piece of carpet outside the door helps reduce the amount of dirt coming in from everyone’s feet.
3. Bring along a few birthday napkins and candles if someone in the family including adults will be celebrating a birthday while on the road.
4. Involve the entire family on meetings on planning the trip so everyone has a say on what they’ll be doing.
5. Keep a small whisk broom handy near the entry so your family can brush dirt and sand off their shoes and clothes before they enter the RV,
6. Bring plenty of items that will help keep the children active after a long day on the road.
7. Use a sleeping bag for children at bedtime. It eliminates making up a bed with sheets
and blankets.
8. Take food along everyone eats. Get the kids to help cook, even over the campfire with supervision.
