If you have both passion and knowledge, you can create an enjoyable, memorable camping experience. Read on to learn some tips to do just that.

Always have an emergency kit on hand when camping with family, or even staying alone. There are certain things you'll need to include at certain locations (i.e. a snake bite kit.) However, there some basics you should always have with you. Take things for specific creatures as well, like antivenom.

When it comes to children, don't hesitate to over-pack. Being out in the wild can result in all sorts of messes. Dirt and dust are like magnets for children. As the day moves along, your children are going to get really messy. While there is nothing you can do about that, you can have some extra clothing just in case. Stay ahead of the game!

A tent needs to be the proper size for all people staying in it. You want to make sure that you have enough room in the tent for sleeping quarters and so that each person in the room has enough room.

A jungle breakfest is a great way to add excitement to your trip. Take juice boxes, mini cereal boxes and fruit and tie the food to trees. When the children awake, tell them that they have to "hunt" to get breakfast. This is a fun way to bring excitement to the morning.

Be certain you have everything you will need before embarking on your adventure. For example, your trip can be ruined if you forget your sleeping bag or tent. Use a check list that you can use to double check, to be sure that you have everything before you leave home.

Pillows are a good item to bring to maximize your level of comfort while camping. The typical pillows will become sticky in hot and humid climates. Because they absorb moisture from the air, they can quickly mildew. Specialized pillows for campers feature protective fabric that resists moisture absorption.

Kids love to camp, but make sure you plan activities for them. When you are in the woods with nothing around but trees, they may become bored. T
