Camping with Babies + Toddlers - Hot Springs, NC Photography

Recently, we went camping with friends and their two little ones. And you know what? It was pretty great! Honestly, I think we should do it again. Next time though, we will be armed with the following insights:

Have a stand up tent. It's just too cramped with baby and and all the stuff. We all need room to breathe!
Check to see if there is a night train that goes through the site prior to setting up camp. It will be loud and wake the little ones.
Take extra precautions for rain. Maybe put down plastic inside the tent just in case there are leaks.
Don't worry about trying to make the baby sleep by himself, he will refuse. Go ahead and just let him snuggle with you for the night.

Even with these lessons learned, I got some great shots documenting the trip and thought I'd share them with you!
